the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby 
Surround Pro Logic reproduces left-to-right 
panning more naturally and localizes sounds 
more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby 
Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of 
surround speakers and a center speaker. The 
surround speakers output monaural sound.
