Surround sound
There are various modes you can use to add surround effects or play stereo through more than just the normal two speakers.
Note
Dolby Pro LogicΙΙx
This feature adds surround effects to stereo sources.
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.

Dolby Surround.

stereo.

(Music)
This mode is effective on music sources.
(Dolby Digital EX)
Use this mode when playing movie software, especially if it is recorded in
Dolby Digital EX format.
It is effective on multi-channel sources.
If you have connected two surround back speakers, output from them will

indicator goes out and either “ DIGITAL EX” or “ EX” lights instead.
