Dolby Pro Logic
The Pro Logic mode uses the built-in circuit to
steer the Left, Center, Right and Mono Surround
channel audio signals and uses all ve speakers
to play both stereo and Dolby Pro Logic program
source, such as TV and VCR.
You can use this mode with any stereo program
source (such as VCR/TV) to enjoy multi-channel
sound experience.
Dolby Digital
The Dolby Digital mode lets you enjoy full digital
surround from software processed in the Dolby
Digital format. Dolby Digital provides better
sound quality and a more powerful presence
than conventional Dolby Surround. This unit is
equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel so that
you can enjoy enhanced full digital surround
sound. The new system provides stereo separation
of the rear speakers (Rear-Right, Rear-Left). Adding
the subwoofer channel to the 5 channels for bass
sounds (counted as 0.1 channel) results in 5.1
channels that bring you the most sophisticated
Dolby Digital sound enjoyment.
