Setting up your speakers
for Dolby Pro Logic
(MHC-DP800AV only)
Dolby Pro Logic Surround improves the sound
image by using four separate channels. These
channels manipulate the sound to be heard and
enhance the action on the screen.
Positioning the speakers
1 Place the front speakers at an angle of
45 degrees from your listening
position.
2 Place the center speaker at about the
same height as the front speakers.
Align the center speaker with the front
speakers or place it slightly behind the
front speakers.
3 Place the rear speakers facing each
other at about 60 to 90 cm above your
listening position.
Specifying the distance of
the speakers
Use the remote for the operation.
1 Press AMP MENU.
2 From your listening position, press v
or V repeatedly to select the parameter.
Adjustable parameters are described below.
3 Press b or B repeatedly to select the
setting you want.

If each of the front or rear speakers is not placed at an
equal distance from your listening position, set the
