SELECTING DTS SURROUND
The optimal DTS surround modes and settings depend on the
type and placement of the speakers. It is recommended that the
optional Aiwa speakers should be used for all channels, for
example, the SX-AVR2900 speaker system.
Check the current type and placement of your speakers and select
the recommended mode accordingly.
