Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Pro Logic is a specially encoded 2 channel surround for-
mat designed to provide theater-like surround sound from Dolby
Surround encoded sources (such as video and Laserdisc soft-
ware marked
). This unit is equipped with a
Dolby Surround decoder to let you enjoy the wide variety of
currently available Dolby Surround home video software.
* Optional in this mode.
Dolby 3 Stereo
Dolby 3 Stereo is available for systems that do not set surround
speakers. When in the Dolby 3 Stereo mode the surround infor-
mation is redirected to the front left and right speakers. This
mode is designed for use with Dolby Surround program sources,
but can also improve sound field unity for programs that are
not Dolby Surround edcoded. Dialog positioning and sound im-
age definition, however, may not be as accurate when used with
programs that are not Dolby Surround edcoded.

How to use the speaker stabilizer (cushions)
When the surround speaker system installation is unstable due
to the floor condition, apply the provided stabilizer (cushions)
on four positions on the bottom of each speaker. (Except for
CRS-N551)
Recommended speaker installation
It is recommended that the surround speakers are installed
straight to the left and right of the listening position or slightly
behind, at a height of about 1 meter higher than the listener’s
ears. Each surround speaker should be installed so that the
longer sides are horizontal.
Hanging on a wall
The surround speakers can be hung on a wall.
When hanging the surround speakers, select a rigid and hard
place on the wall which can withstand the weight of the speak-
ers.
1. Attach the provided mounting hardware onto the rear panel of each
speaker using the provided screw. (Except for CRS-N551)
2. Install a screw, which is commercially available, with sufficient
strength on the wall. When screwing in, leave the head and upper
stem of the screw projected by 7 to 9 mm from the wall surface.
3. Mount each speaker by hooking up the hole of the speaker rear panel
on the screw attached to the wall.
4. Check that the speakers are firmly mounted.
