Direct In this mode, audio from the input source is output without surround-sound
processing. The “Sp Config” (presence of speakers), “Sp Distance” and
“A/V Sync” settings are enabled, but much of the processing set via AUDIO
is disabled. See “Advanced Setup” for more details (
➔ 36).
*1
Stereo Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and subwoofer.
Mono 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 chan-
nels of some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other sources contain-
ing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke DVDs.
Multichannel This mode is for use with PCM multichannel sources.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx *2
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.
• 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 Pro Logic IIz
Height 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. *3
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. *4
