AMPLIFIER
DOLBY 3 STEREO : Choose this setting to play back
movies and music (especially Laser Discs, video cassettes
and TV broadcasts with DOLBY SURROUND sound) when
not using the rear speakers. You get a clear perception of
the position and direction of the sound.
DOLBY 3 STEREO combines the front and rear signals so
that you can enjoy a regenerated sound field, which has
comparatively more lively presence and a more expansive
feeling from the three front channels (front left, front right
and center speakers) than that of ordinary stereo
regeneration.
OFF : Turns off the center and rear speakers for normal
stereo operation.
Note : Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3 Stereo will not work
properly if the signal passes through a graphic equalizer.
Please refer to your equalizer operating instructions for
guidance on switching off (or defeating) the equalizer.
