Normally stereo reproduction uses left and right speakers, but Dolby P ro Logic Surround also uses a centre channel and a rear
channel.The centre channel sharpens sound perspective and dialogueclarity whilst the rear channel is used to immerse the viewer
in ambience and special effects.
To use D olby Pro Logic Surround when receiving television programmes that have been encoded with Dolby Surround
information, you must beab leto receive NI CAM Stereo transmissions. If NICAM Stereo transmissions are not transmitted in your
area then the Dolby Surround information will notbe presentand Pro Logic decoding will produce a centrechannel only output
(unlessyou are playing backfrom a stereo VCR, Digital Versatile Disc etc.).
DolbyPro Logic Surround operates best with videos, laserdiscsand TV programmes that bear the Dolby Surround log o, but can
alsobe used to good eff ect with stereo sources not encoded in Dolby Surround and m ono sources, affording compatib ility with any
source.

are closer to you than the centre speaker, you may hear dialogue “leakage”from the rear surround
