Stereo Listening Modes
The Pro Logic IIx Music mode converts stereo music into surround sound. Use it with any stereo music source, including CDs, FM radio, and MP3 players. The Music mode includes three controls, which are adjustable through the Model 1070's Surround Configuration
Panorama: Extends the front stereo image to the surround speakers for a “wraparound” effect.
Dimension: Lets you correct for “dry” recordings by extending the soundfield towards the back of the listening/viewing area and to decrease apparent rever- beration by “collapsing” the image towards the front.
Center Width: This blends sound from the center channel into the left and right channelstocreateamoreseamlessfrontsoundstage.Youcanvarytheeffectfrom one extreme (where the center channel speaker is shut off and only a “phantom” signal derived from the left and right speakers remains) to the other (where only the center channel speaker reproduces center channel information.)
The Pro Logic IIx Game mode sends surround channel bass signals to the subwoofer to preserve visceral impact.

Stereo Listening Modes
The Model 1070 offers advanced technology for stereo listening, too.
Stereo
This mode routes sound only to your front left and right
7-Channel Stereo/5-Channel Stereo
This mode routes the signal from a stereo recording to all of the speakers in your system. There’s minimal processing so you’ll enjoy very even sound quality as you move around the
Dolby Virtual Speaker
Strictly speaking, this isn’t a surround format at all. Using advanced algorithms (mathematical manipulations), it duplicates the sound field generated by a full
Dolby Headphone
You could call this “Dolby Virtual Speaker for Headphones” because that’s a pretty accurate description of what it does. This circuitry creates a convinc- ing surround effect that’s ideal for private listening with conventional stereo headphones. The math behind it is complicated. The enjoyment isn’t.
DTS
This is a similar technology to Dolby Digital but uses a higher sampling rate. In its standard form, DTS provides
DTS-ES
The Model 1070 automatically senses the presence of either
Bypass
Like Stereo mode, Bypass also routes sound only to your front left and right speakers. The difference between the two is that Bypass has no DSP (digital signal processing), so there’s no surround modes, etc. As you might expect, Bypass delivers a somewhat cleaner sound than Stereo mode.
