Dolby® Pro Logic® IIx
The age of 7.1 surround sound for the home is here. But it's not just reserved for DVD movies encoded in Dolby Digital EX. With Dolby Pro Logic IIx, any movie, CD, TV program or video game can be enjoyed through this enhanced surround sound technology.

Pro Logic IIx is the first and only technology to expand any existing stereo- or 5.1-channel audio for a 6.1- or 7.1- channel playback, creating a seamless, natural surround soundfield that immerses you in the entertainment experience.

Three listening modes–Movie, Music or Game—allow you to tailor the audio to meet the different needs of the programming. In Game mode, for instance, special effects signals are routed to the surround channels for fuller, dramatic impact. Music mode features three additional user controls:
* Dolby Center Width adjusts the balance of the main vocals in the center and front channels.
* Dolby Panorama creates a seamless, wraparound surround effect.
* Dolby Dimension lets you set a deeper or shallower surround soundfield.
