Setting up the speakers
for Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Pro Logic Surround improves the sound
image by using four separate channels. These
channels manipulate the sound to enhance the
action as it happens on the screen.
Since the center speaker cannot produce
enough bass, the bass sound of the center
channel is output from the front speakers.
Positioning the center and
rear speakers
1 Place the front speakers at an angle of
45 degrees from your listening
position.
2 Place the center speaker so it is placed
at about the same height as the front
speakers. Align the center speaker with
the front speakers or place it a little
behind the front speakers’ position.
3 Place the rear speakers facing each
other at about 60 to 90 cm above your
listening position.
