General Information

Any amplifier or receiver used at high power can produce distortions which may seriously damage your speakers. If distortion occurs, reduce the volume and the tone control to a level where the sound is acceptable again.

When using microphones, avoid feedback which occurs when a microphone picks up sound from the speakers, resulting in a howling noise. Keep the microphone away from the speakers or reduce the volume.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

Dolby Pro Logic

This state of the art Dolby Pro Logic mini system enables you to experience and enjoy a Home Cinema sound ambience. The Pro Logic system allows more accurate definition of the individual sound sources. It produces greater sound separation between channels and provides pinpoint sound localization. Pro Logic provides four sound outputs: Left, Center, Right and Surround (Rear). Front sounds are produced from the pair of Left and Right speakers and a Center speaker. The surround sound is reproduced by two speakers placed at the rear of the listening area. Although the surround sound is monaural (single-source), a pair of speakers is necessary to produce the correct diffused sound.

This Pro Logic decoder enables you to decode the following modes: Dolby

Surround, Center Phantom, Dolby 3 Stereo or normal Stereo.

Test Tone

This feature enables you to adjust the Front Left, Front Right, Center and Surround Sound levels of the respective speakers in Dolby Pro Logic mode.

You must sit at the ideal sitting position and use the remote control to perform this operation.
