[Dolby Pro Logic]

This unit is equipped with not only the Dolby Pro Logic decoder

but also the Dolby Digital decoder.

The unit and the center and surround speakers (standard) assure

full-scale home theater sound. When playing back discs or video

software that have been recorded in Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby

Digital Surround, astonishingly realistic sound surrounds the

listener to create a new level of audio/visual entertainment.

Independent control of the five channels allows the listener to

enjoy the same type of sound reproduction experienced in movie

theaters. Voices are reproduced in the front and center sound

field, while ambient sounds like cars and crowds are reproduced

on all sides of the listener for an incredibly lifelike audio/video

experience. Please read the following carefully to “tune” the

system’s output to match the characteristics of your listening

space.

Check the following:

• Before enjoying the DOLBY SURROUND sound, adjust the

speaker sound levels to the proper balance (see page 16).

• Make sure the speakers are properly connected and positioned

(see pages 4 and 5).

• Make sure the TV set and video unit are properly connected

(see page 3).

• Make sure the disc and video tape, etc., support Dolby Pro

Logic or Dolby Digital Surround.

SELECTING DOLBY SURROUND

The optimal Dolby Digital Surround and Dolby Pro Logic modes

and settings depend on the type and placement of the speakers.

It is recommended that the optional Aiwa speakers should be

used for all channels, for example, the SX-AVR2900 speaker

system.

Check the current type and placement of your speakers and

select the recommended mode accordingly.
