to connect the setup microphone to the

unsure how to do this. Also see Other

and turn up the volume to the middle
position.

properly adjusting the overall balance of your
speaker system. The following setting can help
you make detailed adjustments that you may
not achieve using the

for surround sound (MCACC) on page 10.
