Continued
Preparing for Dolby Surround
Once you have finished adjustments for Dolby Surround, you
can use the same adjustments every time you want to use
each Dolby Surround mode — Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3
Stereo.
On the remote control ONLY:
1
Press and hold SHIFT until the
following procedure is finished.
2
Press PRO LOGIC or 3
STEREO whichever you
want to use.
The PRO LOGIC or 3 STEREO
indicator lights up on the display.
• Each time you press the button, the indicator turns on
and off. (Respective Dolby Surround also turns on and
off.)
• When Dolby Surround is activated, the sound mode is
canceled temporarily.
3
Press CENTER MODE repeatedly
to select the proper center mode.
• Each time you press the button, the center
mode changes as follows.
PHANTOM: Select this mode when you do not use a
center speaker. The center speaker
channel signals are output through the
front speakers.
** “PHANTOM” appears only when using
Dolby Pro Logic.
NORMAL:
Select this mode when the center
speaker cannot reproduce the bass better
than the front speakers. The bass
portions of the center channel signals
are output through the front speakers.
WIDE:
Select this mode when the center
speaker can reproduce the bass better
than the front speakers. All signals of
the center channel are output through
the center speaker.
OFF:
Select this mode when shut off the
center channel signals.
Dolby Surround has been developed to reproduce the
important elements of the acoustic surround at home.
To listen to the sound of video software bearing the mark
DOLBY SURROUND
* which includes the same encoded surround
information as found in Dolby Stereo films, the unit can
provide you with Dolby Surround decoder.
This unit features two ways to decode a Dolby Surround
encoded signal, Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3 Stereo.
Dolby Pro Logic can be used when the front speakers and
rear speakers are connected to this unit (regardless of the
center speaker connection).
Dolby 3 Stereo can be used when left, center, and right
speakers are connected, but no rear speaker is used.
