PROLOGIC - Pro Logic decoding is a matrix decoding mode for two-channel sound-tracks and works
best with material that was specifically encoded in Dolby Surround. Here the surround chan-
nels have a mono, not stereo type of sound field. Here, the L, C, R, SUB, LS, and RS Output
channel lamps are on.
PROLOGIC THX - This mode is the same as Pro Logic and includes the addition of THX enhance-
ments. Here, the L, C, R, SUB, LS, and RS Output channel lamps are on, all speakers are
active, and the THX symbol is illuminated.
PLII MOVIE - Pro Logic II Movie decoding is an advanced matrix decoding mode for two-channel film
sound-tracks and is optimized for programs or movies that are encoded in Dolby Surround.
Here the surround speakers have greater spatial separation, providing a more stereo like
sound field. This mode is also appropriate for video games. This mode retains the important
features of Pro Logic, but with full-bandwidth stereo surround output, the listening experience
is much closer to the sound you get from Dolby Digital. Here, the L, C, R, SUB, LS, and RS
Output channel lamps are on.
PLII MVE + THX - This mode is the same as Pro Logic II Movie and includes the addition of THX
enhancements. This is also an excellent mode for film playback when THX enhancements are
preferred. Here, the L, C, R, SUB, LS, and RS Output channel lamps are on, all speakers are
active, and the THX symbol is illuminated.
PLII MATRIX - Pro Logic II Matrix produces surround sound from mono material. Here, the L, C, R,
SUB, LS, and RS Output channel lamps are on.
PLII VIRTUAL - Pro Logic II Virtual is the same as the Movie mode but here, no delay is applied to the
surround channels. - Here, the L, C, R, SUB, LS, and RS Output channel lamps are on.
PLII MUSIC - Pro Logic II Music creates a rich and enveloping surround ambience from stereo sources
such as CDs. In Pro Logic II Music mode, three controls permit you to fine-tune the sound-
field.
CENTER WIDTH control allows you to gradually spread the center channel sound into the
front left and right speakers. At its widest setting, all the sound from the center is mixed into the
left and right. This control may help achieve a more spacious sound or a better blend of the
front image.
PANORAMA wraps the sound of the front left and right speakers around you for an exciting
perspective.
