Appendix: Additional Decoding Modes
for the S–1000,

continued

User selectable modes available on the S–1000 are listed below:

Dolby Pro Logic II is the next generation in Dolby Surround decod-
ing. The Pro Logic II decoder takes 2 channels in and 5 channels
out. It is designed specifically to decode all existing Dolby Surround
programs with improved spatiality and directionality. Pro Logic II is
also designed for use with stereo music recordings that are not
encoded. This feature draws the listener into a three-dimensional
space rather than hearing a flat, two-dimensional presentation.

There are 4 modes in which the Pro Logic II decoder can operate:

DOLBY PLII MOVIE

The movie mode is the improved counterpart to the original Pro
Logic decoder. It is the choice for the majority of Dolby Surround
encoded material.

DOLBY PLII MUSIC

The music mode is for use with unencoded stereo music recordings.
The music mode features dimension and center width controls, see
PLII Control, on page 45, to enhance the music surround experience.

DOLBY PLII MATRI

x

The matrix mode is useful for monaural recordings.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

The Dolby Pro Logic mode provides the same surround processing
as the original Pro Logic and is best used with source content that is
not of optimum quality.

DTS Neo:6 provides up to six full-bandwidth channels of information
from stereo encoded material. 7.1 and 6.1 systems will derive six
channels from the signal while 5.1 systems will derive five channels
from the signal. DTS Neo:6 includes two modes:

DTS NEO:6 CINEMA

for

two channel matrixed movie material and

DTS NEO:6 MUSIC

for stereo

encoded music material.
