xDolby Pro Logic II MOVIE/MUSIC

Dolby Pro Logic II produces five full-bandwidth output channels from 2 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.

Note

•When the input signal is multi channel source, Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Pro Logic II MOVIE/MUSIC are canceled and the multi channel source is output directly.

•When the bilingual broadcast sound is input, Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Pro Logic II MOVIE/MUSIC are not effective.

Note

•NEURAL SURROUND is activated as a PCM signal or 2 channel analog signal. The NEURAL SURROUND processing will be turned off automatically when another type of signal is input. The beginning of the sound may be dropped out when this processing is turned on/off. In this case, the sound field is set to “A.F.D. STD” automatically.
