original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal colorations.
Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes—Movie mode and Music mode:
Pro Logic II Movie (PL II MOVIE)—suitable for reproduction of
Dolby Surround encoded sources bearing the mark
You can enjoy soundfield very close to the one created with discrete
5.1 channel sounds.
Pro Logic II Music (PL II MUSIC)—suitable for reproduction of
any 2 channel stereo music sources. You can enjoy wide and deep

selected, which gives "wraparound" sound effect with side-wall
