Stereo” as available surround modes.
Most movies have multi-channel audio tracks, i.e. 5.1 channel or 7.1 channel audio in
DTS
®
, Dolby or PCM. Virtual surround modes such as “Multi ch Stereo”, “Dolby Pro
Logic II Movie” or “Dolby Pro Logic II Music” are not available (and not necessary)
when the source audio is already multi-channel.
It is best to use Surround = Direct in such cases as it enables the appropriate
multi-channel decoder.
