Dolby Pro Logic Surround Setup

What is Dolby Pro Logic
Surround?
Dolby Pro Logic Surround is a decoding system
standardized in TV programmes and movies. Dolby
Pro Logic Surround improves sound image by using
four separate channels. These channels manipulate the
sound and enhance the action as it happens on the
screen.
Specifying the centre mode
To take advantage of Dolby Pro Logic Surround, you
should connect at least one pair of rear speakers and/
or one centre speaker, plus a TV and a VCR. Also, to
enjoy a full effect, you need to select the appropriate
centre mode (WIDE, NORMAL, PHANTOM, or 3 CH
LOGIC modes) on the amplifier, according to your
speaker system.
WIDE mode
Select this mode if you have front and rear speakers and a
large centre speaker. With this mode, you can take full
advantage of Dolby Surround sound.

NORMAL mode
Select this mode if you have front and rear speakers and a
small centre speaker. Since a small speaker cannot produce
enough bass, the bass sound of the centre channel is output
from the front speakers.
