• | IVA PRO LOGIC: The Dolby Surround Pro Logic decoder, in conjunction with the IVA processor, sim- |
|
|
|
|
| ulates five loudspeaker channels (front left, center, right and rear left and right) for surround sound in |
|
|
|
|
| the headphones. This channel configuration will not change. |
|
|
|
|

|
| PRO LOGIC and IVA are lit. |
|
|
|
|
• | IVA LOGIC7: The LOGIC7 decoder is on and constantly monitors the input signal. Depending on the |
|
|
|
|
| input signal format, the decoder will generate the required number of audio signals. The IVA proces- |
|
|
|
|
| sor will simulate the corresponding number of loudspeakers (up to eight for LOGIC7 input signals). |
|
|
|
|
| LOGIC7 and IVA are lit. |
|
|
|
|
• | IVA STEREO: The IVA processor converts the stereo input signal to a binaural signal. The ear match- |
|
|
|
|
| ing function provides a natural sonic perspective with no inside localization. |
|
|
|
|
| We recommend this mode for natural reproduction of stereo music and speech signals. |
