Description
[n this mode, audio from the input source is output without surround-sound
processing. The speaker configuration (presence of speakers) and speaker
distance settings are enabled, but much of the processing set via Home menu
is disabled. A/V Sync does not have effect on the analog audio. See
"Advanced Setup" for more details (_ page 34).
Sound is output from the front left and right speakers and subwoofer.
Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono soundtrack, or use
it with the foreign language soundtracks recorded in the left and right
channels of some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other sources
containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke DVDs.
This mode is for use with PCM multichannel sources.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx expands any 2-channel source for 7.l-channel
playback. 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, ff
you're not using any surround back speakers, Dolby Pro Logic II will be
used instead of Dolby Pro Logic IIx.

TV, DVD, VHS).

sources for 7. l-channel playback.
Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height is designed to more effectively use existing
program material when height channel speaker outputs are present. Dolby
Pro Logic IIz Height can be used to upmix a variety of sources from movies
and music, but are particularly well-suited to upmix game content.
These modes expand 5. l-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
dimension and provides an enveloping surround sound experience, perfect
for rotating and fly-by sound effects.
