Dolby Surround Setup

Dolby Pro Logic Surround is a system for decoding Dolby Surround sound that is standardized for TV programmes and movies. By selecting the proper centre mode and adjusting the speaker volume, you can reproduce highly precise localization and dynamic panning of sounds of Dolby Surround encoded software.

To obtain the best possible surround effect, you will require at least one additional pair of speakers and/or a centre speaker.

Adjusting the speaker volume

The test tone feature lets you set the volume of your rear speakers and/or centre speaker to the same level as that of the front speakers to maximize the Dolby Pro Logic Surround effect. (If all of your speakers are equal in performance, you don't have to adjust the speaker volume.)

Using the controls on the remote, you can adjust the volume level from wherever you're listening.

2Press SOUND FIELD ON/OFF to turn on the sound field.

3Press SOUND FIELD MODE +/– repeatedly to select “PRO LOGIC”.
