Have you ever wondered why those great films that you saw at the cinema never seem quite so great when you watch them on your TV at home. The picture still looks great, the storyline is as gripping the second lime around, but ihe sound is lacking the extra depth and realism of the cinema. This was improved a lew years ago with the introduction of NICAM stereo sound, hut now the latest technology is available to turn your living room into your very own private cinema - Dolby Pro-Logic Surround Sound. You may he surprised to know that
many TV and satellite programmes are already broadcast with Dolby Pro-Logic Surround Sound, the technology that brings that big screen experience to your TV viewing.
