DOLBY PRO LOGIC II

MOVIE

that decodes full-range, discrete left, center right, right surround and left surround channels

MUSIC

from matrix surround encoded programs and conventional stereo sources when

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

an analog input or a digital input with PCM or Dolby Digital 2.0 recordings is in use. The

GAME

Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode is optimized for movie soundtracks that are recorded with matrix

 

surround, by creating separate center, rear left and rear right signals. while the Pro Logic II Music

 

mode should be used with musical selections that are recorded with matrix surround or even with

 

normal stereo mode, creating separate rear left and rear right signals in any case. The Pro Logic II

 

mode creates compelling five-channel surround sound from conventional stereo recordings. Game

 

mode ensures that special effects are routed to the surround channels, while delivering their full

 

impact using the subwoofer, thus fully immersing the game player in the universe of the video game.

 

 

Logic 7 Cinema

Exclusive to Harman Kardon for AV receivers, Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the

Logic 7 Music

maximum surround information from either surround-encoded programs or conventional stereo

 

material. Depending on the number of speakers in use and the selection made in the SURROUND

 

SELECT menu, the “5.1” versions of Logic 7 modes are available when the 5.1 option is chosen.

 

The Logic 7 C (or Cinema) mode should be used with any source that contains Dolby Surround or similar

 

matrix encoding. Logic 7 C delivers increased center-channel intelligibility, and more accurate placement of

 

sounds with fades and pans that are much smoother and more realistic than with former decoding techniques.

 

The Logic 7 M or Music mode should be used with analog or PCM stereo sources. Logic 7 M enhances the listening

 

experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater rear ambience. Both Logic 7 modes

 

also direct low-frequency information to the subwoofer (if installed and configured) to deliver

 

maximum bass impact.
