Sound field description

Pro Logic II is a further development of Dolby Pro Logic and was developed especially for the surround-sound playback of pure stereo sources, alongside the other well-known decoding of Pro Logic sound material (mainly films).

With Pro Logic II, this part handles the Music sound field, with the freely definable parameters Center Width, Dimension and Panorama. Through this, you get a realistic, enveloping sound, which you would expect from 1 5.1 Channel System. It greatly enriches the usual stereo sound that you get from the Dolby Digital multi-channel system.

Surround

With this setting, the 5.1 Decoder always adapts itself to the current audio format of the selected source. This setting is recommended for use with Pro Logic quality television films, which are being shown in your living room with the original studio mix.

When you play a DVD, whether using the M51's internal drive or an external device over DIGITAL IN, the 5.1 audio format that the DVD requires is automatically selected. These are:

Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG

In this case, all other surround sound programmes are blocked.

Movie

The Movie mode has been optimised for use with films or programmes with a sound track in Dolby Surround. It is also suitable for video games. Movie mode has all the important properties of Pro Logic, while the Stereo Surround outputs, which cover the whole frequency range, give you a sound experience that much more closely resembles the quality of Dolby Digital.
