i Since some DVDs contain both stereo as
well as multi-channel audio formats, it may
be necessary to adapt the audio format
( Y page 209).
The LOGIC7 ® ON function of the harman/
i
®
kardon LOGIC7 surround sound system
makes it possible to play discrete 5.1 and
stereo recordings with optimal surround
sound for every passenger. Music on CDs
or audio DVDs with high-resolution
surround formats such as MLP, DTS or
Dolby Digital is played back optimally.
For an ideal sound experience on all seats,
®
LOGIC7 distributes 5.1 surround
94
information via the 13-channel system
architecture. The result is a sound as
intended by the sound engineers during the
original recording.
®
harman/kardon LOGIC7 converts all two-
channel stereo sound material into multi-
channel surround sound. With the help of
®
LOGIC7 , surround information stored
during the original recording are read out
and distributed through the 13 channels.
No effects are created during this process;
only that which was already there becomes
audible.
In addition, harman/kardon LOGIC7
moves the perceived sound source away
from the individual loudspeakers, thus
generating a natural 360° sound
experience for every passenger.
By selecting LOGIC7 ® OFF, all compatible
i
formats as they are present on the medium
are played back. Due to the vehicle's
spatial characteristics, an optimal sound
experience is not ensured on all seats.
