Dolby Pro Logic is an active process that enhances sound localiza-
tion through the use of a high separation decoding method providing
improved spatiality and a wider listening area. The sense of direc-
tionality is enhanced by the Left, Center, Right and Surround chan-
nels. Dolby Pro Logic is best utilized with sources encoded in Dolby
Surround.
Software encoded with Dolby Surround can be identified with this
mark (DVD, CD, Video CD, Laser Disc, Video tape).
