Dolby Pro Logic g
Dolby Pro Logic g is a matrix decoding technology developed by Dolby
Laboratories.
Regular music such as that on CDs is encoded into 5-channels to achieve
an excellent surround effect.
The surround channel signals are converted into stereo and full band
signals (with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) to create
a "three-dimensional" sound image offering a rich sense of presence for all
stereo sources.
Dolby Pro Logic gx
Dolby Pro Logic gx is a further improved version of the Dolby Pro Logic g
matrix decoding technology. Audio signals recorded in 2-channels are
decoded to achieve a natural sound with up to 7.1-channels. There are
three modes: "Music" suited for playing music, "Cinema" suited for playing
movies, and "Game" which is optimized for playing games.
