Step 2: Setting up
the speakers
By connecting the supplied 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
the sound image by using four separate
channels. These channels manipulate the
sound to enhance the action as it happens on
the screen.
Since the center speaker cannot produce
enough bass, the bass sound of the center
channel is output from the front speakers.
