necessary to adapt the audio format

The “LOGIC7
®
ON” function of the har-
man/kardon LOGIC7
®
surround sound system
makes it possible to play discrete 5.1 and stereo
recordings with optimal surround sound for ev-
ery passenger. Music on CDs or audio DVDs with
high-resolution surround formats such as MLP,
DTS or Dolby Digital is played back optimally.
For an ideal sound experience on all seats,
LOGIC7
®
distributes 5.1 surround information
via the 13-channel system architecture. The re-
sult is a sound as intended by the sound engi-
neers during the original recording.
harman/kardon LOGIC7
®
converts all two-chan-
nel stereo sound material into multi-channel sur-
round sound. With the help of LOGIC7
®
,
surround information stored during the original
recording are read out and distributed through
the 13 channels. No effects are created during
this process; only that which was already there
becomes audible.
In addition, harman/kardon LOGIC7
®
moves the
perceived sound source away from the individual
loudspeakers, thus generating a natural 360°
sound experience for every passenger.
