Dolby Surround Setup

Dolby Pro Logic (STR-DE815G and STR-D760Z)

Dolby Pro Logic Surround is a decoding system standardized in TV programs and movies. Dolby Pro Logic Surround improves sound image by using four separate channels. These channels manipulate the sound and enhance the action as it happens on the screen.

Specifying the center mode

To take advantage of Dolby Pro Logic Surround, you should connect at least one pair of rear speakers and/ or one center speaker, plus a TV and a VCR. Also, to enjoy a full effect, you need to select the appropriate center mode (WIDE, NORMAL, PHANTOM, or 3 CH LOGIC modes) on the receiver, according to your speaker system.

WIDE mode

Select this mode if you have front and rear speakers and a large center speaker. With this mode, you can take full advantage of Dolby Surround sound.

NORMAL mode

Select this mode if you have front and rear speakers and a small center speaker. Since a small speaker cannot produce enough bass, the bass sound of the center channel is output from the front speakers.

3 CH LOGIC mode

Select this mode if you have front and center speakers but no rear speakers. The sound of the rear channel is output from the front speakers to let you experience some of the surround sound without using rear speakers.

Adjusting the speaker volume

To enjoy Dolby Pro Logic Surround sound, select the appropriate center mode. Then adjust the volume of each speaker using the test tone that the receiver provides. The test tone feature lets you set the volume of your speakers to the same level. (If all of your speakers have equal performance, you do not have to adjust the speaker volume.)

Using the remote lets you adjust the volume level from your listening position.
