set in a similar way by pressing

The Dolby Pro Logic II Surround system is the next generation in Dolby Surround decoding. It 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. Diferent mode Pro Logic II mode are available:
Pro Logic - it offers users the robust surround processing of the original Pro Logic. Music - it’s recommended as the standard mode for autosound music systems (without
video), and is optional for A/V systems.
Movie - It can be called simply “Pro Logic II”. It has stereo surround channels and no surround filter, unlike Pro Logic which has a mono surround channels
and a 7KHz surround filter. Movie mode is the standard required for all A/V systems.
Dimension - A simple control that alters the ratio of L+R to L-R for the two-channel
input signals. It allows the user to gradually adjust the soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear. If a recording is too spacious or strong from the surrounds, it can be adjusted “forward” to get a better balance.
Likewise, if a stereo recording is somewhat too “mono” or “narrow” sounding, it can be adjusted toward the rear to get a more enveloping, immersing result.
Panorama - Extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side-wall imaging.
Center Width Control - With Pro Logic decoding, dominant center signals can come only from the center speaker. If no center speaker is present, the decoder splits the center signals equally to the left and right speakers to create a “phantom” center image. The Center Width control allows variable adjustment of the center image so it may be heard only from the center speaker; only from the left/right speakers as a phantom image; or from all three front speakers to varying degrees.
Note: Pro LogicII mode is disabled when playing MP3/WMA.
3 Stereo
3 Stereo produces three channels (front left, center, front right) of sound from a two channels analog signal. It is not a surround format so it does not require surround speakers.
Soundfield Effects
The digital Soundfield Effects recreates the effects of sounds reflected from walls or ceilings to obtain the sound presence of real environments.
-Stadium: recreates a large stadium using very long reverberation times.
-Stage: recreates a stage environment, emphasizing sound from the front speakers.
-Hall: recreates a hall using lots of reflections. Suitable for orchestral music such as classical and opera.
-Disco: recreates the disco or club music effect. It is suitable for all types of music that are played in disco.
-Live: suitable for all types of music.

To rent (purchase) DivX VOD files
DivX VOD files are similar to DVD video rental discs. The difference lies in the access to the media. DivX VOD files are downloaded after paying a rental from certain commercial web sites. Prior to downloading a VOD you need to input the registration number of your DVD player on the purchase form of the site.
Follow the instructions below to find the registration number of your player:
1.Insert a disc.
2.In the DVD menu, select DivX. The registration number is displayed on the screen of the television set.
3.Write down this VOD 8-character registration number in order to fill in the form on the web site you purchase your DivX VOD files from.
Note: If you cannot play a DivX VOD file recorded on a CD-R disc after downloading it, the rental period allocated during purchasing from the web site may have expired. It may also be that the recorded file is not compatible with your player because of different versions or incorrect download parameters. The parameters used during the copying to CD-R may also be a cause. Since it is not possible here to supply all the information, parameters and advice relating to the use of DivX VOD files, we recommend that you visit specialised web sites such as www.divx.com/vod.
