Dolby Pro Logic is a decoding system that was developed to get a
better sense of presence from sources encoded with Dolby
Surround. The feeling of position has been improved by the addition
of a separate center speaker channel.
Software encoded with Dolby Surround can be identified with this
mark (DVD, CD, Video CD, Laser Disc, Video tape).
