Dolby Pro Logic gz
Dolby Pro Logic gz introduces a new dimension to Home Entertainment
through the addition of a pair of front height channels. Compatible with
stereo, 5.1-channel and 7.1-channel content, Dolby Pro Logic gz provides
enhanced spaciousness, depth and dimension to movies, concert video
and video game playback while maintaining the full integrity of the source
mix.
Dolby Pro Logic gz identifies and decodes spatial cues that occur naturally
in all content, directing this information to the front height channels,
complementing the performance of left and right surround sound
speakers. Content that is encoded with Dolby Pro Logic gz height channel
information can be even more revealing, with perceptually discrete
height channel information bringing an exciting new dimension to home
entertainment.
Dolby Pro Logic gz, with front height channels is also an ideal alternative
for households that cannot support the placement of back surround
speakers of a typical 7.1-channel system but may have bookshelf space
available to support the addition of height speakers.
