      If you're only hearing sound from a few speakers instead of all six on your Samsung Home Theater System: * Note that some DVD discs only output sound from the front speakers. * Ensure all speakers are connected correctly. * Adjust the volume levels. * When listening to a CD, radio, or TV, sound is typically output to the front speakers only; select "PROLOG" by pressing PL II (Dolby Pro Logic II) on the remote to utilize all six speakers.
