The Dolby Pro Logic II Surround system is the next generation in Dolby Surround decoding. It creates five
This is done using an advanced,
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
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
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.
