Getting Ready for Dolby Surround Sound
This section describes about selecting the speaker
configuration and then adjusting the speaker volume and
the delay time of the rear speakers so that you can enjoy the
Dolby surround sound.
Placement of Speakers and Selecting the PRO
LOGIC MODE
The Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder has the same
functions for playback, such as movie theaters and gives a
theater-like experience in your listening room, naturally
reproducing the audio sound field.
The STR-GX909ES/STR-GX808ES incorporates a decoder
which reproduces the specially encoded surround sound of
Dolby surround video programs.

mode according to your speaker configuration by pressing
the DOLBY PRO LOGIC MODE button. Each time the
DOLBY PRO LOGIC MODE button is pressed, the DOLBY
