FEATURES

channel.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is the latest version of Dolby Laboratories' benchmark surround technology

Movie, Music and

that decodes full-range, discrete left, center, right, surround right and surround left channels

Emulation

from either matrix surround-encoded programs or conventional stereo sources.

The Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode is optimized for movie soundtracks, while the Pro Logic II Music

mode should be used with musical selections. The Pro Logic II Emulation mode re-creates original

Pro Logic processing for those who prefer that presentation.

Logic 7 C

Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either

Logic 7 M

surround-encoded programs or conventional stereo material. The Logic 7 C, or Cinema, mode

should be used with any source that contains Dolby Surround or similar matrix encoding.

Logic 7 C delivers increased center-channel intelligibility, and more accurate placement of sounds

with fades and pans that are much smoother and more realistic than with other decoding

techniques. The Logic 7 M, or Music, mode should be used with analog or PCM stereo sources.

Logic 7 M enhances the listening experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater

rear ambience. Both Logic 7 modes also direct low-frequency information to the subwoofer

(if installed and configured) to deliver maximum bass impact.

Dolby 3 Stereo

Uses the information contained in a surround-encoded or two-channel stereo program to

create center-channel information. In addition, the information that is normally sent to the

rear-channel surround speakers is carefully mixed in with the front left and front right

channels for increased realism. Use this mode when you have a center channel speaker

but no surround speakers.

Theater

This mode uses matrix surround decoding to simulate a standard movie or

stage theater.

Hall 1, 2

The Hall modes offer a matrix surround choice that simulates a small (Hall 1) or medium-sized

(Hall 2) chamber hall.

5-Channel Stereo

This mode takes advantage of multiple speakers to place a stereo signal at both the front and

back of a room. Ideal for playing music in situations such as a party, it places the same signal

at the front left and surround left, and front right and surround right speakers. The center

channel is fed a summed mono mix of the in-phase material of the left and right channels.

Surround

This mode turns off all surround processing and presents the pure left- and right-

Off (Stereo)

channel presentation of two-channel stereo programs.
