DOLBY PRO LOGIC : choose this setting to play back movies and music (especially Laser Discs, video cassettes and TV broadcasts with DOLBY SURROUND sound). Not only does Dolby Pro Logic surround provide you with sound, it also gives you a clear perception of the position and direction of the sound. Make sure your 'Speaker Positioning' is correct. (see 'INSTALLATION')

With a great number of recently made movies, the sound track is specially encoded with the Dolby Surround mode

carrying the DOLBY STEREO or DOLBY SURROUND trademark. The front speakers provide the dialogue and the normal stereo effect, while the rear speakers reproduce the surround signals. This position provides excellent results when watching television programs, video software, video discs or video tapes of stereo television broadcasts encoded with Dolby Surround.

Note : In DOLBY PRO LOGIC mode, the rear speakers are used as "EFFECT SPEAKERS" and may not produce sound at all times.
