Dolby Pro Logic is a specially encoded 2-channel surround format designed to provide theater-like surround sound from Dolby Surround encoded sources (such as video and

LD software marked). This unit is equipped with a Dolby Pro Logic surround decoder to let you enjoy the wide variety of currently available Dolby Surround home video software.

Surround speaker

The surround signals of Dolby Digital and DTS have been designed to provide a rich feeling of presence through usually 5 loudspeakers.

The Virtual Surround feature incorporated in this unit makes it possible to obtain a simulated surround effect using the left and right front speakers alone.

Front speaker

Dolby 3 Stereo

Dolby 3 Stereo is available for systems that do not have surround speakers. When in the Dolby 3 Stereo mode, the surround information is redirected to the front left and right speakers. This mode is designed for use with Dolby Surround program sources, but can also improve sound field unity for programs that are not Dolby Surround encoded. Dialog positioning and sound image definition, however, may not be as accurate when used with programs that are not Dolby Surround encoded.
