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

SX-RI 000 for surround speakers, the SX-C1 000 for a center
speaker and the SX-AVI 000 for front speakers. Check your
current type and placement of the speakers and select the
recommended Dolby Pro Logic mode accordingly.
