Dolby ProLogic Surround Sound provides the
current industry standard for home cinema
sound from VCR and TV broadcasts.  The front
left and right speakers deliver detailed, directional
sound as the center speaker "steers" dialogue/
vocal sound and center screen action toward the
TV screen.  Both surround speakers add a
greater sense of depth with special effects.

Audio and video tapes and discs with the

 Dolby Surround mark are

encoded for multi channel Dolby Surround
sound.  The DOLBY PRO LOGIC sound setting
allows you to listen to audio tracks as they were
recorded through the left, right, center, and rear
channels.

IMPORTANT!
– Dolby Pro Logic Surround sound can only
be reproduced if the program is broadcast
in Dolby Surround Sound.
– For the best Dolby Pro Logic sound,
switch on DPL with DSC set to “Classic”
and with VEC off.
– Dolby Pro Logic mode will automatically
switch to normal Stereo mode when
headphones is connected.
– When recording, switch to normal stereo
mode.

system

You must set up the system properly in order to
experience and enjoy a Home Cinema sound
ambience.

Place the center speaker directly above or
beneath the television.
