You can choose from the following settings:
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.
When not usinq a center speaker: DOLBY PRO-LOGIC
SURROUND and PRO-LOGIC THEATER
• 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.

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.
NOTE:
• 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 Jt 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 position
it next to the TV set.
• Rear speakers are best positioned shghtly above ear level.
