Dolby Pro Logic

This state of the art Dolby Pro Logic
mini system enables you to experience
and enjoy a Home Cinema sound
ambience. The Pro Logic system allows
more accurate definition of the
individual sound sources. It produces
greater sound separation between
channels and provides pinpoint sound
localization. Pro Logic provides four
sound outputs: Left, Center, Right and
Surround (Rear). Front sounds are
produced from the pair of Left and
Right speakers and a Center speaker.
The surround sound is reproduced by
two speakers placed at the rear of the
listening area. Although the surround
sound is monaural (single-source), a pair
of speakers is necessary to produce the
correct diffused sound.

This Pro Logic decoder enables you to
decode the following modes: 

Dolby

Surround, Center Phantom, Dolby 3
Stereo 

or

 normal Stereo.

Setting up the Dolby Pro
Logic system

You must set up the system properly in
order to enjoy the Home Cinema
sound to the fullest. First, connect the
speakers.

Front Left and Right Speakers

For the best sound, place the Left and
Right speakers at an angle of
approximately 45 degrees to the
listener. If the speakers' magnetic field
affects the television picture, increase
the distance between the TV and the
speakers.

Center Speaker

For the best sound, place the center
speaker at the same height as the left
and right speakers. Place the center
speaker directly above or beneath the
television.

Rear (surround) Speakers

The surround speakers should be
placed at normal listening ear level or
mounted on the wall at the back of the
room. Most important, experiment
when placing the surround speakers in
order to obtain the best sound.
