Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a very advanced
sound format, producing 6.1 or 7.1 output
channels from stereo or multi-channel
sources, for further details also see page
34.
Three different modes are available:
Pro
Logic IIx Movie
,
Pro Logic IIx Music
and
Pro
Logic IIx Game
.
Pro Logic IIx Music gives music a more
three dimensional representation, providing
more spaciousness and transparency. Pro
Logic IIx Music allows three parameters to
be tuned to optimize its performance:
