output from the front speakers.
The test tone is output:
Delay time
Time lag between the surround sound output
from front speakers and rear speakers. By
adjusting the delay time of the rear speakers,
you can obtain the feeling of presence. Make
the delay time longer when you have placed
the rear speakers in a small room or close to
your listening position, and make it shorter
when you have placed them in a large room
or apart from your listening position.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
Decoding system of Dolby Surround sound
standardized in TV programs and movies.
Compared with the former Dolby Surround
system, Dolby Pro Logic Surround improves
sound image by using four separate channels:
off-screen audio effects, on-screen dialog,
left-to-right panning, and music. These
channels manipulate the sound to be heard
and enhance the action as it happens on the
screen. To take advantage of Dolby Pro Logic,
you should have at least one pair of rear
speakers and/or one center speaker. You also
need to select the appropriate center mode to
enjoy a full effect.
Dolby Surround
Encoding and decoding system of Dolby
Surround sound for consumer use. Dolby
Surround decodes the extra channels on the
Dolby Surround-encoded sound tracks of
movie videos and TV programs and produces
sound effects and echoes that make the action
seem to envelop you.

Glossary
Center mode
Speaker setting to enhance the Dolby Pro
Logic Surround mode. Select one of the
following four center modes according to
your speaker system.
• NORMAL mode
Select NORMAL mode if you connect a
small sized active center speaker to this

cannot produce enough bass, the bass
sound of the center channel is output from
the front speakers.
The test tone is output as shown on page 11.
• WIDE mode
Select WIDE mode if you connect an active
center speaker equivalent to the two front
speakers. With the WIDE mode, you can
take full advantage of Dolby Surround
sound.
The test tone is output as shown on page 11.
• 3 CH LOGIC mode
Select 3 CH LOGIC mode if you don't want
to use the rear speakers to output sound.
The sound of the rear channel is output
from the front speakers to let you
experience some of the surround sound
