USING THE SYSTEM

PRO LOGIC MODE

Choose this feature when playing movies and music encoded with Dolby Surround, such as Laser Disc, Video cassettes and certain compact discs. Many current TV broadcasts are also encoded with Dolby Surround Sound.

Pro Logic Sound, by adding a center channel speaker to the main and surround speakers, stablizes the action occurring at the center of the screen. The Pro Logic system recaptures the full richness and depth of a Dolby Surround encoded film, for enjoyment in the comfort of your own home.

There are two different Center mode options when using the Pro Logic Feature:

NORMAL and PHANTOM.

NORMAL MODE

In the NORMAL mode, the low-frequency sounds occuring out of the center speaker would normally be routed to the right and left main speakers.

Because this system uses a subwoofer to produce most of the low-frequency sounds, the low-frequency sounds are directed to the subwoofer.

PHANTOM MODE

In the PHANTOM mode, all sound that would normally be routed to the CENTER channel speaker is routed equally to left and right main speaker. This creates the illusion that the sound is coming from the area centered between the main speakers. The CENTER SPEAKER is not used in this mode.

SELECTING THE PRO LOGIC MODE

1.Turn the main unit on and select the input

SOURCE.

2.Press the SURROUND MODE button on front panel or the NORMAL CENTER button on the remote control.

3.Select the desired mode, NORMAL, PHANTOM and BYPASS by pressing SURROUND MODE on the front panel or the representative key on the remote control.

4.If the source is a Hi-Fi Stereo VCR or Laser Disc Player, play a Dolby Surround encoded material. Make sure the volume on the television is turned down completely, then adjust the volume on the main unit to the desired level.
