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

	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.
