Center Mode Choices:
When using a center speaker:
@ NORMAL-Low range frequencies, which have little effect on
directionality and positioning, are routed to the left and right
front speakers. This allows you to use a relatively small size
speaker as the center speaker.
® WIDE-If you use a large size center speaker, choose this setting.
The full frequency range of the Dolby Surround center channel,
is routed to the center speaker.

@ PHANTOM-The signal which would have been sent to the
center speaker is divided equally between the left and right
front speakers.
With DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND, monaural source sound
will be heard only from the center channel at settings other
than the PHANTOM position.
To get the most out of the surround system, place the speakers
as shown below.

If the rear speakers are positioned at an extreme distance from
the front and center speakers, the surround level becomes unable
to adjust and the surround effect will not be fully achieved.
NOTES;
® To avoid interference with the picture on a nearby TV set, use
magnetically shielded speaker systems. This is particularly
important for the center speaker since it is usually located
closest to the TV.
® Position the left and right channel speakers at equal distances
from the TV set and approximately 1.8 m (6 feet) from each
other.
® Position the center speaker above, below, or behind the TV
set. Sound may not appear to coincide with the picture if you
pasition it next to the TV set.
@ Rear speakers are best positioned slightly above ear level.
