Neo:6 Music

Pro Logic II Movie improves the sound quality, channel separation and
steering of Stereo, Dolby Surround, Dolby Pro Logic (or similar) matrix
encoded movie soundtracks.

Pro Logic II Movie is optimised for movie and television sound tracks
and doesn’t allow, different to Pro Logic II Music, any user configuration.

Pro Logic II Movie will make use of a subwoofer, if available.

This mode is automatically selected when a Dolby Digital-encoded disc
is played. The Dolby Digital logo will illuminate in the display window.

This mode is automatically selected

(1)

when an MPEG-2-encoded disc is

played. The MPEG-2 logo will illuminate in the display window.

This surround mode is available as an option. The chapter ‘how to
enable an option’ that can be found at the end of this manual, explains
how to enable DTS Neo:6.
DTS Neo:6 includes two different modes:

This mode is designed to enhance PCM (stereo) movie soundtracks or
TV broadcasts by generates a pseudo 7.1 mix from a stereo mix. Please
note Neo:6 Movie cannot be used with DD2 (stereo) encoded movies,
unlike Pro Logic II Movie.

Neo:6 Music can be used with any PCM (stereo) music recording and
produces a pseudo 7.1 mix output. This can result in a wider sound
space and better imaging.
