The surround system reproducus eideo software programs carrying the I'1r1[_ mark with similar acoustic effects to movie
theaters.
The DOIJ_Y PRO LOGIC mode controls the audio signals of the Front Left/Rigid, Center and Rear surround channels using the built-in
diroctivity enhancer cercuit to reproduce the feeling of sound motions very realistically.
TheDOLB Y3 STEREO mode can reproduce the motions ofsoundeven when oulythu frontand center speakers are used,byproviding proper
acoustic position using the diroctivity enhancer circuit,
