DOLBY SURROUND RECORDING DOLBY SURROUND 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 recorded in Dolby Surround, astonishingly realistic sound surrounds the listener to create a new level of audio/visual entertainment. Independent control of the five sound 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. Check the following: • Before using the DOLBY PRO LOGIC, adjust the proper balance of speaker sound levels. • Make sure the supplied speakers are properly connected and positioned (see page 5). • Make sure the TV set and video unit are properly connected (see page 7). • Make sure the laser disc, video tape, etc., support H. ADJUSTING SPEAKER LEVEL DOLBY PRO LOGIC f,g En MANUAL SELECT h PRO LOGIC f,g DOLBY NR system The Dolby Noise Reduction system reduces tape hiss noise. For optimum performance when playing back a tape recorded with the DOLBY NR system, turn on the DOLBY NR system. The unit is equipped with a built-in test signal generator called a noise sequencer for easy balance adjustment of all 5 channels. The sequencer outputs a noise signal that "travels" from channel to channel, enabling the simple adjustment of sound level to achieve, at the listening position, the same apparent loudness from each channel. 1 Press DOLBY PRO LOGIC to select NORMAL. "NORMAL" is displayed. If "PHANTOM" or "3 STEREO" is displayed, press DOLBY PRO LOGIC repeatedly until "NORMAL" is selected. ENGLISH 23
