DOLBY PRO LOGIC
The Dolby Pro Logic feature and the center and surround
speakers (standard) assure full-scale home theater sound. When
playing back laser discs or video software that have been
specially recorded with four-channel sound (left, right, center,
surround) and steering logic (for directing sound), astonishingly
realistic sound surrounds the listener to create a new level of
audio/visual entertainment.
Independent control of the four channels allows the listener to
enjoy the same type of sound reproduction experienced in movie
theaters. Voices are reproduced in the front and center sound
field, while ambient sounds like cars and crowds are reproduced
on all sides of the listener for an incredibly lifelike audio/video
experience. Please read the following carefully to “tune” the
system’s output to match the characteristics of your listening
space.
