DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND

direction of the dominant signal and cancels undesirable crosstalk,
thereby providing signal emphasis.

When using DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND, a delay time setting of
20 ms is commonly used. Use a different setting if you prefer.
¢ DOLBY 3 CH LOGIC
By adding the signal for the rear speakers to the signal for the front
speakers, the front three channels (front L, front R, and CENTER) provide
amuch wider, more spacious sound field than possible during ordinary
stereo playback.

is equipped with the following
3 positions for the CENTER MODE.
When using DOLBY 3 CH LOGIC, you can select NORMAL or WIDE.
When using center speaker:
¢ NORMAL
Low range frequencies, which have little effect on directionality and
positioning, are routed to the left and right front speakers. So you can
use relatively small size speakers as the center speakers.
e WIDE

frequency range of the center speakers, from low to high, is routed to
the center speaker.
