Multi-channel output of 2-
channel sources — Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II produces 5 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.
The Pro Logic II mode options and switching
order are indicated below.
MUSIC: Provides a deep, wide sound space to
stereo audio recordings.
MOVIE: Provides enhanced sound field
directionality that approaches the quality of
discrete 5.1-channel sound to stereo television
shows and all programs encoded in Dolby
Surround.
