Dolby Pro Logic II decoder

Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II is a new format for playing multichannel audio signals that offers improvements over
conventional Dolby Pro Logic. It can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Dolby Surround, but
also regular stereo sources into five channels (front left/right, center and surround left/right). In addition,
various parameters can be set according to the type of source and the contents, so you can adjust the
sound field with greater precision.
