using the Dolby 3 Stereo mode.

Surround speakers : Place to the direct left and right, or slightly behind, the

listening position at even heights, approximately 1 meter above the ears of
the listeners. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere.
Required for surround playback.

Subwoofer : Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.

• Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers listed above, if you don't

have a center speaker or a subwoofer, you can divide those signals between the available
speakers in the following steps to obtain the best possible surround reproduction from the
