Overview; Getting Started; Unpacking - Sony SAVA-57 Operating Instructions Manual

Overview

The SAVA-57 is an active home theater speaker system
incorporating a Dolby Pro Logic decoder and super
woofer speakers.
You can enjoy five different types of surround sound,
accommodating a variety of program sources, with a
simple setup.
Built-in center speakers let you enjoy Dolby
Pro Logic Surround sound
The use of a center speaker is a key factor in obtaining
a full surround effect when playing sources encoded
with the Dolby Pro Logic Surround sound system.
Center speakers in a movie theater make central
sounds, such as dialogue, clearer and create a unified
sound image.
The SAVA-57 incorporates a center speaker into the
front speakers, which enables you to enjoy Dolby Pro
Logic Surround sound.
The left and right front speakers are equipped with
center channel speakers (see below) angled inwards at
15° to reproduce the center channel sounds.
