Notes:

• If the Remote Control is not going to be used for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage caused
by battery leakage corrosion.

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
or amplifier.
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 II 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
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
when the Unit is connected to a DTS Digital Surround processor or amplifier. This Unit can recognizes D VDs
that have been recorded with DTS Digital Surround. Look for this logo on your D VD Unit.
"DTS", and "DTS Digital Surround" are registered trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

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.

ADJUSTING THE SOUND

Pro Logic Emulation Mode

The Pro Logic emulation mode offers users the same robust surround processing as original Pro Logic, in case the source
content is not of optimum quality, or if there is a desire to hear the program more "as it used to be". When this mode is
used, it is called Pro Logic, as before. There is no "Pro Logic I" mode. The Pro Logic emulation mode is optional. Dolby
does not require PLII products to use the original Pro Logic decoding algorithm. However, if the DSP contains the original
Pro Logic code, and if the product maker would like to use it, this is quite acceptable and even encouraged. A 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.
