Dolby Pro Logic Surround

The Dolby Pro Logic Surround system is a specially encoded two channels analog format that will produce sound through four speaker channels (front left, center, front right, monaural surround) when a Dolby Pro Logic Decoder is used. It is also compatible with stereo systems but the user will only have two channels (Front Left & Right) of sound.

Dolby Pro Logic II Surround

Dolby Pro Logic II Surround creates five full bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.
