Dolby Pro Logic II is the next generation in Dolby Surround decod- ing. The Pro Logic II decoder takes 2 channels in and 5 channels out. It is designed specifically to decode all existing Dolby Surround programs with improved spatiality and directionality. Pro Logic II is also designed for use with stereo music recordings that are not encoded. This feature draws the listener into a three-dimensional space rather than hearing a flat, two-dimensional presentation. There are 4 modes in which the Pro Logic II decoder can operate:

DOLBY PLII MOVIE

The movie mode is the improved counterpart to the original Pro Logic decoder. It is the choice for the majority of Dolby Surround encoded material.

DOLBY PLII MUSIC

The music mode is for use with unencoded stereo music recordings. The music mode features dimension and center width controls, see PLII Control, on page 45, to enhance the music surround experience.

DOLBY PLII MATRIx

The matrix mode is useful for monaural recordings.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

The Dolby Pro Logic mode provides the same surround processing as the original Pro Logic and is best used with source content that is not of optimum quality.

DTS Neo:6 provides up to six full-bandwidth channels of information from stereo encoded material. 7.1 and 6.1 systems will derive six channels from the signal while 5.1 systems will derive five channels from the signal. DTS Neo:6 includes two modes: DTS NEO:6 CINEMA for two channel matrixed movie material and DTS NEO:6 MUSIC for stereo encoded music material.
