Getting the Most Out of Dolby
Pro Logic Surround Sound

sound, first select the center mode according to the
speaker system you have. Then, adjust each speaker
volume and delay time.
Note that you must have at least one additional pair of
speakers and/or one center speaker to do the following
adjustments.

designed for a different speaker configuration. Select
the mode that best suits your speaker’s system

sound.
2
Press Surround MODE repeatedly to select the
