Dolby
Pro
Logic
II 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.
MOVIE mode:
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television
shows and all
programs
encoded in
Dolby
Surround.
The result is enhanced soundfield
directionality
that
approaches
the
quality
of discrete 5.1-channel sound.
MUSIC mode:
The Music mode is for use with
any
stereo music
recordings.
MATRIX mode:
The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode
except
that the directional enhancement
logic
is
turned off. It
may
be used to enhance mono
signals
by making
them seem
"larger."
The Matrix mode
may
also find use in auto
systems,
where the fluctuations
from
poor
FM stereo
reception
can otherwise cause
disturbing
surround
signals
from a
logic
decoder. The
ultimate "cure" for
poor
FM stereo
reception may
be
simply
to force the audio to mono.
BYPASS
Outputs
the sound from the front left and
right speakers
and subwoofer.
