Sound mode type	Description
Dolby PLgxz1	This mode can be selected when the Dolby PLgx decoder is used to play back 2-channel sources in 6.1/7.1-channel
	surround sound including the surround back channel(s).
	By adding the surround back channel(s), a more enveloping surround environment is produced, compared to Dolby Pro
	Logic g. There are three playback modes: “Cinema” mode that is optimized for movie playback, “Music” mode that is
	optimized for music playback, and “Game” mode that is optimized for game play.
Dolby PLg	This mode can be selected when the Dolby PLg decoder is used to play back 2-channel sources in 5.1-channel surround
	sound with an enveloping surround sound experience.
Dolby PLgzz2	This mode can be selected when the Dolby PLgz decoder is used to play back 2-channel sources in 7.1-channel surround
	sound with added front height channels.

	large movie theater or concert hall.

Dolby Digital EXz1	Using the Dolby Digital EX decoder, this mode plays Dolby Digital sources in 6.1/7.1-channel surround sound with added
