Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby ProLogic Surround Sound provides the current industry standard for home cinema sound from VCR and TV broadcasts. The front left and right speakers deliver detailed, directional sound as the center speaker "steers" dialogue/ vocal sound and center screen action toward the TV screen. Both surround speakers add a greater sense of depth with special effects.

Audio and video tapes and discs with the Dolby Surround mark are encoded for multi channel Dolby Surround sound. The DOLBY PRO LOGIC sound setting allows you to listen to audio tracks as they were recorded through the left, right, center, and rear channels.

IMPORTANT!

–Dolby Pro Logic Surround sound can only be reproduced if the program is broadcast in Dolby Surround Sound.

–For the best Dolby Pro Logic sound, switch on DPL with DSC set to “CLASSIC” and with VAC off.

–Dolby Pro Logic mode will automatically switch to normal stereo mode when headphones is connected.

–When recording, it is advisable to switch the Dolby Pro Logic to normal stereo mode.
