Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic IIx expands any 2-channel source for 7.1-channel play-
back. It provides a very natural and seamless surround-sound experience that
fully envelops the listener. As well as music and movies, video games can
also benefit from the dramatic spatial effects and vivid imaging. If you’re not
using any surround back speakers, Dolby Pro Logic II will be used instead
of Dolby Pro Logic IIx.
• Dolby PLIIx Movie
Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) movie (e.g.,
TV, DVD, VHS).
• Dolby PLIIx Music
Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) music source
(e.g., CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD).
• Dolby PLIIx Game
Use this mode with video games, especially those that bear the Dolby Pro
Logic II logo.
SXCN
• Dolby PLIIx Movie and Dolby PLIIx Music
These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx modes to expand 5.1-channel
sources for 7.1-channel playback.

Dolby EX These modes expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback.
They’re especially suited to Dolby EX soundtracks that include a matrix-
encoded surround back channel. The additional channel adds an extra dimen-
sion and provides an enveloping surround sound experience, perfect for
rotating and fly-by sound effects.
