nected. Make sure none of
the speaker wires are frayed,
cut, punctured or touching
each other.
• Review proper operation of
your receiver/amplifier and
its surround sound features.
• Make sure the movie or

modes, make sure your
receiver/processor is config-
ured so that the surround
speakers are enabled.

DVD player and the jacket of
your DVD to make sure that
the DVD features the desired
Dolby Digital or DTS mode,
and that you have properly
selected that mode using both
the DVD player’s menu and the
DVD’s menu.
