PLII MUSIC

Dolby Pro Logic IIx technology is an extension to Dolby Pro Logic II that enables the listener to experience natural and seamless 6.1- or 7.1-channel (six or seven speakers and a subwoofer) surround sound from any native two-channel (stereo) or 5.1-channel source.

The PLIIx listening mode is only available when the front, side and rear speakers are present.

Activating the DOLBY PLIIx MUS listening mode

The DOLBY PLIIx MUS listening mode is a dynamic listening mode and cannot be assigned as a preferred listening mode for 2-channel Dolby Surround-encoded film sources. To activate the DOLBY PLIIx MUS listening mode, play the 2-channel source input, and select the DOLBY PLIIx MUS listening mode using the front-panel or remote control Mode buttons.

When the 2-CH parameter is set to USE LAST, the RV-8 will automat- ically activate the DOLBY PLIIx MUS listening mode if this listening mode was activated the last time a 2-channel Dolby Surround- encoded film source was present.

Note:

The DOLBY PLIIx MUS mode does not appear in the list of available listening modes if either the side or rear speakers are missing from the configuration.
