Selecting the center mode
The center mode is related to the PROLOGIC and THEATER sound fields. (See “Taking
advantage of the sound fields” on page 75 for a detailed explanation on sound fields.) You
must have rear left and right speakers, or one center speaker other than the front left and
right speakers for these sound fields.
You can select NORMAL, WIDE, PHANTOM, or 3CH LOGIC as the center mode. Each
mode is designed for a different speaker configuration. Select the most suitable mode
considering the following conditions:
If you have front and rear speakers, and a small center speaker
Select NORMAL. The center channel bass sound is output from the front speakers. This is
because small center speakers cannot reproduce bass sound sufficiently.
If you have front and rear speakers, and a large center speaker
Select WIDE. The combination of this speaker configuration and mode selection is ideal for
Dolby Pro Logic Surround sound.
If you have only front and rear speakers
Select PHANTOM. The center channel sound is output from the front speakers.
If you have only front and center speakers
Select 3CH LOGIC (3 Channel Logic). The rear channel sound is output from the front
speakers. You can enjoy some surround sound atmosphere, even if you don’t have surround
(rear) speakers.
