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. So you can 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, from
low to high, is routed to the center speaker.

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 it is usually focated closest to the TV.
° Position the left and right channel speakers at equal distances from
the TV set and approximately six 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 slightly above ear fevel.
_ SIMULATED STEREO
This function transforms monaural signals into simulated stereo sound.
Use it when you wish to experience a sense of stereo presence when
istening to AM broadcasts, and other monaural signal sources.
NOTE:
The simulated stereo function can also be used with stereo sound
sources, but it will result in an effect somewhat different from the normal
stereo sound,
