Aiwa AV-X220 manual Selecting Dolby PRO Logic, Recommended mode

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 four 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 the speaker sound levels (see page 13).

●Make sure the speakers are properly connected and positioned (see pages 3 and 4).

●Make sure the TV set and video unit are properly connected (see page 3).

●Make sure the laser disc and video tape, etc., support
