DOLBY PRO-LOGIC SURROUND, DOLBY 3CH LOGIC CENTER MODE

(For DOLBY PRO-LOGIC SURROUND and DOLBY

3CH LOGIC)

You can choose from the following settings:

Center Mode Choices:

When using a center speaker:

* NORMAL —Low range frequencies, which have little effect

on directionality and positioning, are routed to the left and

right front speakers. This allows you to use a relatively small

size speaker as the center speaker.

* WIDE —If you use a large size center speaker, choose this

setting. The full frequency range of the Dolby Surround

center channel, is routed to the center speaker.

SPEAKER INSTALLATION

When

not using a center speaker: DOLBY

PRO-LOGIC

SURROUND only

* PHANTOM—The

signal which would have been sent to

the center speaker is divided equally between the left and

rignt front speakers.

With DOLBY PRO-LOGIC SURROUND,

monaural source

sound will be heard only from the center channel at settings

other than the PHANTOM position.

To get the most out of the surround system, place the

speakers as shown below.

FRONT

lf the rear speakers are positioned at an extreme distance

from the front and center speakers, the surround level

becomes unable to adjust and the surround effect will not be

fully achieved.

NOTE:

: To avoid interference with the picture on a nearby TV set, use

magnetically shielded speaker systems.

This is particularly

important for the center speaker since it is usually located closest

to the TV.

* Position the left and right channel speakers at equal distances from

the TV set and approximately 1.8 m (6 feet) from each other.

* Position the center speaker above, below, or behind the TV set.

Sound may not appear to coincide with the picture if you position

it next to the TV set.

: Rear speakers are best positioned slightly above ear level.
