Surround sound
If your vehicle is equipped with the harman/
kardon LOGIC
7
®
Surround Sound system,
you can choose between
LOGIC 7
®
On
and
LOGIC7 ® Off
for surround sound.
Harman/kardon LOGIC 7
®
Surround Sound is
available for the following operating modes:
R
Radio (FM only)
R
Satellite radio
R

R
AUX
i The
LOGIC7 ® On
function of the harman/
kardon LOGIC 7
®
Surround Sound system
permits the playback of discrete 5.1 and
stereo recordings with an optimal surround
sound platform for each passenger.
The LOGIC
7
®
distributes the 5.1 surround
information over the 13-channel system
architecture to provide the optimum sound
experience from all seats. This produces
the sound characteristic as intended by the
sound engineer during the original
recording.
Harman/kardon LOGIC
7
®
converts all
two-channel stereo sound material into
multi-channel surround sound. The
surround information stored during the
original recording is read out using
LOGIC
7
®
and likewise distributed over the
13 channels. No effects are created during
this process; only that which was already
there becomes audible.
In addition, harman/kardon LOGIC
7
®
moves the perceived sound source away
from the individual loudspeakers, thus
generating a natural 360° sound
experience for each passenger.
i By selecting
LOGIC 7 ® Off
, all compatible
formats are played back as they are
present on the medium. Due to the
vehicle’s spatial characteristics, an optimal
sound experience is not ensured from all
seats.
