APPENDIX Surround Mode Dolby Pro Logic II Game Dolby Pro Logic Description Variant of Dolby Pro Logic II that emphasizes use of the surround channels and subwoofer for total immersion in the video gaming experience. Original version of Dolby Pro Logic that steered a mono signal containing information below 7kHz to the surround channels. Dolby Pro Logic IIx Mode Group Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie An expansion of Dolby Pro Logic II that adds a surround back channel which may be played through one or two surround back speakers. The Dolby Pro Logic IIx modes may be selected not only with Dolby Digital bitstreams, but thanks to the AVR 354's post-processor, they may also be used with some DTS bitstreams to add a surround back channel to 5.1 modes. This mode is similar to Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, with an added surround back channel. Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music This mode is similar to Dolby Pro Logic II Music, including the availability of center width, dimension and panorama adjustments. Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music adds a surround back channel. Dolby Pro Logic IIx Game This mode is similar to Dolby Pro Logic II Game, with the added benefit of a surround back channel. Dolby Virtual Speaker Mode Group Dolby Virtual Speaker Reference Simulates 5.1 channels when only two speakers are present, or a more enveloping sound field is desired. When only two main speakers are present, the Reference mode virtualizes a full surround presentation with accurate localization. Dolby Virtual Speaker Wide mode may be used with two main speakers to widen the front Wide soundstage by virtualizing the locations of the left and right speakers. DTS Digital Using a different encoding/decoding method than Dolby Digital, it also provides up to five discrete main channels, plus an LFE channel.
