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 Delay time not adjustable
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 No surround channels
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 Delay time not adjustable
stage theater.
Hall 1, 2 The Hall modes offer a matrix surround choice that simulates a small (Hall 1) or medium-sized Delay time not adjustable
(Hall 2) chamber hall.
5-Channel Stereo This mode takes advantage of multiple speakers to place a stereo signal at both the front and No delay is available for
back of a room. Ideal for playing music in situations such as a party, it places the same signal this mode
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- No surround channels
Off (Stereo) channel presentation of two-channel stereo programs.
