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.
