DOLBY PLgx This mode can be selected when the Dolby Pro Logic gx decoder is used to
play back 2-channel sources in 6.1/7.1-channel surround sound including the
surround back channel(s).
By adding the surround back channel(s), a more enveloping surround
environment is produced, compared to Dolby Pro Logic g.
There are three playback modes: "Movie" mode that is optimized for movie
playback, "Music" mode that is optimized for music playback, and "Game"
mode that is optimized for game play.

surround sound experience.

6.1/7.1 channel surround sound with added surround back channel(s).
