is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial
properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.

Movie Mode
The Movie mode in Pro Logic II is very similar to that of the original Pro Logic decoder. The main
difference is that it has stereo surround channels and no surround filter, unlike Pro Logic which has a mono surround
channel and a 7 kHz surround filter. Movie mode is the standard required for all A/V systems. When an autosound unit
has a video screen, it is also considered an A/V system. It can be called simply "Pro Logic II".

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. It is recommended that Music mode be identified as the "Music" version
of Pro Logic II, to distinguish it from the Movie mode.
