DOLBY PRO LOGIC II and DOLBY PRO LOGIC IIx

This is the conventional two-channel stereo mode with sound from your left and right speakers. The DMC-1 bass management lets you use your subwoofer to handle the lower frequency range. Dolby Pro Logic II has several options which can be set using the On Screen Display (OSD) menus. These include:

MOVIE mode for Dolby Surround soundtracks. These are decoded by the DMC-1 into separate channels: left and right channels for off-screen imaging, a center channel for most on-screen dialog, and stereo surround channels for ambience and special effects.

MUSIC mode for listening to any stereo material. This mode also includes three options:

•Center Width, which spreads the center channel across the front soundstage.

•Panorama, which wraps the left and right channels around you.

•Dimension, which adjusts the front/rear balance of the PLII or PLIIx effect.

Try the PLII or PLIIx MUSIC modes for all of your stereo programs, and adjust these extra options to suit your taste.

PRO LOGIC IIx extends the Dolby Pro Logic II technology by adding stereo full range surround back channels. Use this feature instead of Dolby Pro Logic II if you are using the surround back channels in your system. This mode also features the Music and Movie modes as described above.

PLII MATRIX mode can be used for mono sources, or for FM programs with poor stereo reception.

PLII PRO LOGIC mode emulates the original standard surround mode. It can be used for source material which is not of optimum quality, or if you just feel nostalgic for the way things were.

PARTY

This extra stereo mode copies the front speaker signals to the other speakers in your system. This mode adds tremendous presence to your stereo sources and is great for parties and casual listening alike. The OSD menu can be used to select which speakers are active in this mode.

JAZZ CLUB

In this DSP mode, the surrounds simulate the ambiance caused by rear reflections and effects of a small to medium sized venue. This is useful for adding surround sound effects to stereo sources. The ambiance effect can be varied using the OSD MODES menu.

DTS Neo:6

The CINEMA option can produce up to six full range, separate channels and a subwoofer output from stereo matrix surround sources. This enhances the playback of sources such as surround sound video tapes, Laser Discs and broadcast TV programs.

The MUSIC option can expand normal stereo programs into six channels. It does so in a natural sounding way, which enhances the listening experience.
