Dolby Digital Dolby Digital is a sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories Inc. that gives movie theatre ambience to audio output when the Unit is connected to a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel processor QU or amplifier. DIGITAL This Unit automatically recognizes DVDs that have been recorded with Dolby Digital. Not all Dolby Digital sources are recorded with 6 channels. Some sources marked Dolby Digital may be recorded in Dolby Surround, a 2 channel system. Look for this logo on your DVD Unit. Dolby Pro Logic Il creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This € is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial DIGITAL properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations. “DTS” and “DTS Digital Surround” is a sound sytem which give movie theatre ambience to audio output whenthe Unitis connected to a DTS Digital Surround processor or amplifier. This Unitcan recognizes DVDs DIGITAL thathave been recorded with DTS Digital Surround. Look for this logo on your DVD Unit. "DTS", and "DTS Digital Surround" are registered trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc. SURROUND Movie Mode The Movie mode in Pro Logic Il is very similar to that of the original P ro Logic decoder. The main difference is thatithas stereo surround channels and no surround filter, unlike Pro Logic which has a mono surround channel and à 7 kHz surround filter. Movie mode is the standard required for all A/V systems. When an autosound unit has a video screen, itis also considered an A/V system. It can be called simply "Pro Logic Il". Music Mode The Music mode offers users some flexibility to control the end results to their own taste. Music mode should not be used with THX audio processing mode. Music mode is recommended as the standard mode for autosound music systems (without video), and is optional for A/V systems. Itis recommended that Music mode be identified as the "Music" version of Pro Logic Il, to distinguish it from the Movie mode. E-17 {continued to next page)

Pro Logic Emulation Mode The Pro Logic emulation mode offers users the same robustsurround processing as original P ro Logic, in case the source content is not of optimum quality, or ifthere is a desire to hear the program more ‘as it used to be". When this mode is used, itis called Pro Logic, as before. There is no "Pro Logic |" mode. The Pro Logic emulation mode is optional. Dolby does notrequire P Lil products to use the original P ro Logic decoding algorithm. However, ifthe DSP contains the original Pro Logic code, and if the product maker would like to use it, this is quite acceptable and even encouraged. À product must not offer both original Pro Logic and the Pro Logic emulation mode. Matrix Mode The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to enhance mono signals by making them seem "larger", The Matrix mode may also find use in auto systems, where the fluctuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause disturbing surround signals from a logic decoder. The ultimate "cure" for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the audio to mono. DTS and DTS Digital Out are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc. This Unit does not decode DTS Digital Surround signal. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround”" playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround'" decoder system must be connected to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack of the Main Unit.
