DOLBY PRO LOGIC : choose this setting to play back
movies and music (especially Laser Discs, video cassettes
and TV broadcasts with DOLBY SURROUND sound). Not
only does Dolby Pro Logic surround provide you with sound,
it also gives you a clear perception of the position and
direction of the sound. Make sure your 'Speaker Positioning'
is correct. (see 'INSTALLATION')
With a great number of recently made movies, the sound
track is specially encoded with the Dolby Surround mode
carrying the DOLBY STEREO or
SURROUND trademark. The front speakers provide the
dialogue and the normal stereo effect, while the rear
speakers reproduce the surround signals. This position
provides excellent results when watching television
programs, video software, video discs or video tapes of
stereo television broadcasts encoded with Dolby Surround.
Note : In DOLBY PRO LOGIC mode, the rear speakers are
used as "EFFECT SPEAKERS" and may not
produce sound at all times.
