Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either
surround-encoded programs or conventional stereo material. The Logic 7 C or Cinema mode
should be used with any source that contains Dolby Surround or similar matrix encoding.
Logic 7 C delivers increased center-channel intelligibility, and more accurate placement of sounds
with fades and pans that are much smoother and more realistic than with other decoding
techniques. The Logic 7 M or Music mode should be used with analog or PCM stereo sources.
Logic 7 M enhances the listening experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater
rear ambience. Both Logic 7 modes also direct low-frequency information to the subwoofer
(if installed and configured) to deliver maximum bass impact.
