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.
