Dolby Pro Logic
II
is a matrix decoding technol-
ogy in which the updated digital matrix technol-
ogy is applied and Dolby Pro Logic is further im-
proved. It realizes excellent 5.1 channel repro-
duction of Dolby surround source as well as ste-
reo sound sources such as CDs, thereby caus-
ing a surround channel to be full-ranged (20 Hz
to 20 kHz) and become stereo. Therefore, you
can enjoy any stereo sources with dynamic
sound of 5.1 channel. According to a source to
be reproduced, Music Mode or Matrix Mode can
be selected.

Music Mode
This mode is suitable for stereo sources like
CDs. By optimizing frequency characteristics of
the surround channel, a broader and deeper
sound is assured. In addition, since broadness
of the sound field varies with recording condi-
tions of music sources, there is Adjusting Mode
which makes a finer tuning available.
●
Matrix Mode
This mode is suitable for AM/FM radio.
