The DOLBY PRO LOGIC feature and the center and rear speakers (standard) assure full-scale home theater sound. When playing back laser discs or video software that have been recorded in Dolby Surround, astonishingly realistic sound surrounds the listener to create a new level of audio/visual entertainment.
Independent control of the four sound channels allows the listener to enjoy the same type of sound reproduction experienced in movie theaters. Voices are reproduced in the front and center sound field, while ambient sounds like cars and crowds are
reproduced on all sides of the listener for an incredibly lifelike audio/video experience. Please read the following carefully to “tune” the system’s output to match the characteristics of your
listening space.
Check the following:
● Before using the DOLBY PRO LOGIC, adjust the proper
balance of speaker sound levels.
cMake sure the supplied speakers are properly connected and
