Dolby Pro Logic Surround Sound mode;
Choose this feature when playing Dolby Pro Logic
Surround encoded movies and music (especially Laser
Discs, video cassettes, and TV broadcasts with Dolby
Surround sound). Most currently-released Video
cassettes and Laser Discs and many TV broadcasts
include this feature. Not only does Dolby Pro Logic
surround you with sound, it also gives you a clear
perception of the position and direction of the sound.
You also have three Center channel options when using
the Dolby Pro Logic feature, “NORMAL,” “WTOE,” and
“PHANTOM.” These options have programmed
Surround (or delay) values for the Center channel. The
delay (or echo) effect is different in each mode:
- The NORMAL mode gives a true
Dolby Pro Logic sound.
- The WIDE mode can be used to add greater
acoustical separation of the Center Speaker.
- The PHANTOM mode diminishes the effect of
hearing a true Center channel. The Front Left
and Right Speakers give the effect of center
channel information. The Center Speaker is
actually not used.

Press either the PRO LOGIC CENTER MODE (+)
or (-) button until your choice of either
“NORMAL,” “WIDE,” or “PHANTOM” appears
in the display.
If your source is a Hi-Fi VCR or Laser Disc
Player, play a Dolby Pro Logic encoded videotape
or Dolby Pro Logic encoded Laser Disc. Make
sure your Television’s volume is completely turned
down. Now, adjust the Receiver’s VOLUiV'IE knob
to a normal listening level. (Or, press the
VOLUME (A) or (V) button on the remote.)
If your source is a CD Player, play a Compact
Disc. Adjust the Receiver’s VOLUME knob to a
normal listening level. (Or, press the VOLUME
(A) or (V) button on the remote.)
NOTE: If your Compact Disc is not Dolby Pro-Logic encoded,
you may wish to try Surround Mode on without Pro-Logic,
Adjust the Surround (or rear) volume by pressing
the SURROUND LEVEL (+) or (-) button until the
rear sound can be heard when playing a Dolby
Prologic encoded videotape in your VCR. (Or,
press the remote’s SELECT button until
“SURROUND LEVEL” appears in the display.
Then, press the (+) or (-) buttons to adjust the
Surround volume.) .
Adjust the Center volume by pressing the
CENTER LEVEL (+) or (-) button until the center
sound can be heard when playing a Dolby Prologic
encoded source. (Or, press the Remote’s SELECT
button until “CENTER LEVEL” appears in the
display. Then, press the (+) or (-) buttons to adjust
the Center volume.)
NOTES: The sound from the Surround Speakers and the Center
Speaker should be sufficiently heard, but it should not be as loud
as the sound from the front speakers.
If you play a video tape which is not Dolby Surround Sound
encoded, or use a non-stereo VCR as a TV chanel tuner, or select a
non-stereo TV station when in the Pro Logic mode, you may
receive sound from only the Center Speaker.
