Center mode

Speaker setting to enhance the Dolby Pro

Logic Surround mode. Select one of the

following four center modes according to

your speaker system.

• NORMAL mode

Select NORMAL mode if you connect a

small sized active center speaker to this

speaker system. Since a small speaker

cannot produce enough bass, the bass

sound of the center channel is output from

the front speakers.

The test tone is output as shown on page 12.

• WIDE mode

Select WIDE mode if you connect an active

center speaker equivalent to the two front

speakers. With the WIDE mode, you can

take full advantage of Dolby Surround

sound.

The test tone is output as shown on page 12.

• 3 CH LOGIC mode

Select 3 CH LOGIC mode if you don't want

to use the rear speakers to output sound.

The sound of the rear channel is output

from the front speakers to let you

experience some of the surround sound

without using rear speakers.

The test tone is output:

• PHANTOM mode

Select PHANTOM mode if you do not

want to use the center speaker to output

sound. The sound of the center channel is

output from the front speakers.

The test tone is output:

Delay time

Time lag between the surround sound output

from front speakers and rear speakers. By

adjusting the delay time of the rear speakers,

you can obtain the feeling of presence. Make

the delay time longer when you have placed

the rear speakers in a small room or close to

your listening position, and make it shorter

when you have placed them in a large room

or apart from your listening position.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

Decoding system of Dolby Surround sound

standardized in TV programs and movies.

Compared with the former Dolby Surround

system, Dolby Pro Logic Surround improves

sound image by using four separate channels:

off-screen audio effects, on-screen dialog,

left-to-right panning, and music. These

channels manipulate the sound to be heard

and enhance the action as it happens on the

screen. To take advantage of Dolby Pro Logic,

you should have at least one pair of rear

speakers and/or one center speaker. You also

need to select the appropriate center mode to

enjoy a full effect.

Dolby Surround

Encoding and decoding system of Dolby

Surround sound for consumer use. Dolby

Surround decodes the extra channels on the

Dolby Surround-encoded sound tracks of

movie videos and TV programs and produces

sound effects and echoes that make the action

seem to envelop you.
