By connecting the speakers, you can enjoy
Dolby Pro Logic Surround sound. Dolby Pro
Logic Surround is a decoding system
standardized in TV programs and movies.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround improves sound
imaging by using four separate channels.
These channels manipulate the sound and
enhance the action as it happens on the
screen.
Selecting the Dolby Pro
Logic Surround mode
To take advantage of Dolby Pro Logic
Surround, you should connect at least one
pair of rear speakers and/or one center
speaker, plus a TV and a VCR. Also, to enjoy
a full effect, you need to select the
appropriate Dolby Pro Logic mode
(NORMAL, WIDE, 3CH or PHANTOM
modes) according to your speaker system.
NORMAL mode
Select NORMAL mode if you have front and
rear speakers and a small center speaker such
as those provided with this system. Since a
small speaker cannot produce enough bass,
the bass sound of the center channel is output
from the front speakers.
