RE: Dolby Pro-Logic on Yamaha Receiver
The centre channel should not `pack any bass` since it`s used to mainly carry the dialogue track and should sound clear and not muddy. If the DVD, Video or TV broadcasts soundtrack is correctly encoded for `Dolby Surround` having the receiver in Prologic mode should create a good soundfield, but this also depends on how the soundtrack has been encoded.
I have a RXV-596 Yamaha receiver and each channel is set to `small` with the subwoofer setting to `sw` (not `both` or `main`) this will direct all lower frequencies to the subwoofer (where they belong) and beef-up the sound considerably.
Do not, I repeat, do not set your surround speakers to `both` or `main` since any standard surround speakers cannot fully reproduce the lower frequencies which need to be carried by the subwoofer and, at best, they`ll sound strained and at worst you`ll damage them unless they have a low frequency cut-off circuit.
Something that will help the sound of your system overall is to correctly balance the volume of your speakers & subwoofer using an inexpensive SPL meter from your local Radioshack. Email me if you need to know how to carry this out, the improvement it`ll make to the sound can be readily heard.
