DOLBY SURROUND	RECORDING
The DOLBY PRO LOGIC feature and the center and surround
speakers (standard) assure full-scale home theater sound. When
playing back laser discs or video software that have been
recorded in Dolby Surround, astonishingly realistic sound
surrounds the listener to create a new level of audio/visual
entertainment.
Independent control of the five sound channels allows the listener
to enjoy the same type of sound reproduction experienced in	SURROUND
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

DOLBY NR system

The Dolby Noise Reduction system reduces tape hiss noise. For optimum performance when playing back a tape recorded with the DOLBY NR system, turn on the DOLBY NR system.

The unit is equipped with a built-in test signal generator called a noise sequencer for easy balance adjustment of all 5 channels. The sequencer outputs a noise signal that “travels” from channel to channel, enabling the simple adjustment of sound level to achieve, at the listening position, the same apparent loudness from each channel.

1Press DOLBY PRO LOGIC to select NORMAL.

“NORMAL” is displayed.

If “PHANTOM” or “3 STEREO” is displayed, press DOLBY PRO LOGIC repeatedly until “NORMAL” is selected.
