Panasonic TX-28DK2 - Dolby Pro Logic Surround Menu

32
Normally stereo reproduction uses left and right sp eakers, but Dolby Pro Logic Surround also uses a centre channel and a rear
channel. The centre channel sharpens sound perspective and dialogue clarity w hilst the rear channel is used to im merse the v iewer
in ambience and special effects.
To u se D olby Pro Logic Surround when receiv ing television programmes that have been encoded with Dolby Surround
inform ation, y ou must be able to receive NI CA M Stereo tra nsm issions. If N I CA M Stereo transmissions are not tra nsm itted in y our
area then the Dolb y Surround information will not be present and Pro Logic decoding will produce a centre channel only output
(unless you are playing back from a stereo V CR , Digital Versatile Disc etc.).
Dolby Pro Logi c Surround operates best with videos, laserdiscs and TV programmes that bear the Dolby Surround logo, bu t ca n
also b e u sed to good effect with stere o sou rces not encod ed in Dolb y Surroun d and mono sources, aff ord in g compatib ili ty w ith any
source.

Allows setting of the distance from the listening position to the re ar speakers. If the rear surround speakers
are closer to you than the centre speaker, you may hear dialogue “le akage” from the rear surround
speakers. It may be necessary to reduce the output level of the rear channel to rectify this phenomenon.
