Note
Dolby Pro Logic
ΙΙx

It can also expand 5.1-channel Dolby Digital and DTS so that you can hear them through 7.1
channels (when you have connected 2 surround back speakers) or 6.1 channels (when you
have connected 1 surround back speaker).
Use this mode when playing Dolby Digital Surround EX to make effective use of the
surround back channel.
