The Dolby Pro Logic feature and the center and rear speakers (standard) assure full-scale home theater sound. When playing back laser discs or video software that have been specially recorded with four-channel sound (left, right, center, rear) and steering logic (for sound directionality), astonishingly realistic sound surrounds the listener to create a new level of audio/visual entertainment.

Independent control of the four sound channels allows the listener to enjoy the same type of sound reproduction experienced in movie theaters. Voices are reproduced in the front and center sound field, while ambient sounds like cars and crowds are reproduced on all sides of the listener for an incredibly lifelike audio/video experience. Please read the following carefully to

“tune” the system’s output to match the characteristics of your

listening space.

Check the following:

Before using the DOLBY PRO LOGIC, adjust the proper balance of speaker sound levels.

Make sure the supplied speakers are properly connected and positioned. (See page 3)

Make sure the TV set and video unit are properly connected. (See page 4)

BALANCE

The unit is equipped with a built-in test signal generator called a noise sequencer for easy balance adjustment of all four channels.
