Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 channel
which carries the " " mark. This mode provides the effect of
being in a movie theatre or live concert house-an effect with an
intensity which can only be obtained through DOLBY PRO LOGIC
SURROUND. The effect of the front/back/left/right movement of
the sound image, as well as the sense of fixed position in the
sound image, is much clearer and more dynamic than before.
II
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels
from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-
purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties
of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal
colorations.
MOVIE mode:
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all
programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced
soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete
5.1-channel sound.
MUSIC mode:
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings.
MATRIX mode:
The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that
the directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used
to enhance mono signals by making them seem "larger." The
Matrix mode may also find use in auto systems, where the fluc-
tuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause
disturbing surround signals from a logic decoder. The ultimate
"cure" for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the
audio to mono.
