Listening in surround sound

You can listen to any source—stereo or multichannel, analog or digital—in surround sound. Surround sound is generated from stereo sources using one of the Dolby Pro Logic decoding modes.

The listening mode choices that appear in the display will vary according to the type of source that’s playing.

•Pro Logic – 4.1 channel surround sound for use with any two-channel source

•PL II Movie – Pro Logic II 5.1 channel surround sound, especially suited to movie sources, for use with any two-channel source
