2) DOLBY PRO-LOGIC CIRCUIT
Dolby Pro-Logic is a sound effect system for movies developed by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corp. IC10 (NJW1102) is
a Dolby Pro-Logic decoder IC. When an audio signal recorded using the Dolby Pro-Logic system is sent to this IC, the left,
right, center and surround components are separated. The surround signal component is delayed by the delay IC11
(NJU9702). Fig. 3 shows the configuration of the Dolby decoder.

Delay
With Dolby Pro-Logic, three center modes depend on the use of a center speaker as follows.
NORMAL:Bass frequencies are sent only to the Left and Right Front channels. Select this mode when the
Center Speaker is smaller than the left and Right speakers.
WIDE:Bass frequencies are sent to the Left, Center and Right speakers. Select this mode when the
Center speaker is approximately the same size as the Left and Right speakers.
PHANTOM:Center channel information is sent to the Left and Right speakers. Select this mode when you do
not have a center channel speaker.
3) STEREO CIRCUIT
In 3-stereo mode, surround sound is sent to front Left channel and front Right channel and no surround sound is sent to
surround channel.

The test tone generator generates a test tone (noise) to check the balance of sound output from each speaker in the Dolby
Pro-Logic mode. (This circuit is produced under license of the Dolby Laboritories Licensing Corp.) The test tone to the
loudspeakers at 2 second intervals in the following sequence: Left, Center, Right, Rear (both rear channels).
