Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic IIx expands any 2-channel source for
7.1-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. If you’re not using any surround back
speakers, Dolby Pro Logic II will be used instead of
Dolby Pro Logic IIx.

Audyssey Dynamic Surround Expansion™
Audyssey Dynamic Surround Expansion™ is a scalable
system that adds new speakers to improve surround
impression. Starting with a 5.1 system Dynamic Sur-
round Expansion first adds Wide channels for the biggest
impact on envelopment. Research in human hearing has
proven that information from the Wide channels is much
more critical in the presentation of a realistic soundstage
than then Back Surround channels found in traditional
7.1 systems. Dynamic Surround Expansion then creates
a pair of Height channels to reproduce the next most
important acoustical and perceptual cues. In addition to
these new Wide and Height channels, Dynamic Sur-
round Expansion applies Surround Envelopment Pro-
cessing to enhance the blend between the front and
surround channels.
