Dolby Surround Setup
Dolby Pro Logic
(STR-DE815G and STR-D760Z)
Dolby Pro Logic Surround is a decoding system
standardized in TV programs 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 center mode
To take advantage of Dolby Pro Logic Surround, you
should connect at least one pair of rear speakers and/
or one center speaker, plus a TV and a VCR. Also, to
enjoy a full effect, you need to select the appropriate
center mode (WIDE, NORMAL, PHANTOM, or 3 CH
LOGIC modes) on the receiver, according to your
speaker system.
WIDE mode
Select this mode if you have front and rear speakers and a
large center 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 center speaker. Since a small speaker cannot produce
enough bass, the bass sound of the center channel is output
from the front speakers.

PHANTOM mode
Select this mode if you have front and rear speakers but no
center speaker. The sound of the center channel is output
from the front speakers.
3 CH LOGIC mode
Select this mode if you have front and center speakers but no
rear speakers. The sound of the rear channel is output from
the front speakers to let you experience some of the
surround sound without using rear speakers.
Adjusting the speaker volume
To enjoy Dolby Pro Logic Surround sound, select the
appropriate center mode. Then adjust the volume of
each speaker using the test tone that the receiver
provides. The test tone feature lets you set the volume
of your speakers to the same level. (If all of your
speakers have equal performance, you do not have to
adjust the speaker volume.)
Using the remote lets you adjust the volume level from
your listening position.
