MODE ADJUST PRO LOGIC

The Dolby PRO LOGIC mode is designed for playback of Dolby Surround-encoded sources. It decodes four channels from Dolby Surround-encoded sources, and uses a mono surround channel with a high-frequency rolloff above 7kHz.

This mode is useful for comparison purposes, particularly with the L7 FILM, Dolby PLIIx MOVIE and DTS Neo:6 CIN listening mode.

MODE ADJUST +

This mode is designed for playback of matrix-encoded digital stereo film sources. DTS NEO:6 derives six channels when both side and rear speakers are present (rear channels will be in parallel). It derives five channels when only side or rear speakers are present.

In addition to THX processing, THX re-equalization is applied to simulate high-frequency rolloffs that occur in movie theaters. Most films are mixed for movie theaters, and may sound too bright when played back in home theaters without re-equalization.
