Dolby Digital
This format provides 5.1-channel surround sound. Dolby Digital source mate-
rial includes DVDs, digital TV broadcasts, many PlayStation 2
® video games,
all Xbox ® video games, laserdiscs, some cable and satellite programs, digital
cable programming, and D-VHS tapes.
Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded soundtracks contain an extra back
surround channel that’s been added to the soundtrack during mixing. This
additional channel places audio directly behind the listener to provide more
detailed imaging, enhanced depth, better ambience, and more precise sound
localization. You can play this “back” channel through one or two additional
surround speakers. There’s a list of Dolby Digital EX-encoded movies on the
Dolby web site,
www.dolby.com .
You can use Dolby Digital EX to play back non-EX encoded material but the
results probably won’t be precisely what you might expect. Instead, we recom-
mend that you use Dolby Digital +
Pro Logic IIx-C (movie mode) for more
predictable results.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Dolby Pro Logic Ilx is the most recent version of Dolby Pro Logic decoding. Pro
Logic II was a substantial improvement over original Pro Logic and Pro Logic
IIx is the 7.1-channel version of Pro Logic II. You can use it only when you’ve
got back surround speakers connected to the Model 1070. Otherwise, the Model
1070 provides standard Pro Logic II processing.
Pro Logic IIx’s Movie mode is excellent for decoding Dolby Surround-encoded
movie and TV soundtracks. It also works well with video games, especially those
encoded in Pro Logic II. Use this mode for VHS tapes, standard TV broadcasts,
and DVDs encoded in Dolby Digital 2.0.
