DOLBY PRO LOGIC

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 localisation. Pro Logic provides
four outputs which are called Left, Center, Right and
Surround (Rear). Front signals are produced from the pair
of Left and Right speakers and a Center speaker. The
surround signal is reproduced by two speakers placed at
the rear of the listening area. Although the surround
signal is mono, a pair of speakers is necessary to
produce the correct diffused sound field.
This Pro Logic decoder enables you to decode the
following mode : Dolby Surround, Center Phantom,
Dolby 3 Stereo or normal Stereo .
