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

Laserdisc software marked ).

This unit is equipped with a Dolby Surround decoder to let you enjoy the wide variety of currently available Dolby Surround home video software.

Dolby 3 Stereo Surround

This mode improves the positioning of the acoustic image of words, etc., by applying directivity enhancer processing and using an additional center speaker when a video software program recorded with ordinary 2-channel stereo is played.

Dolby 3 Stereo is available for systems that do not set 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.
