The new surround modes are for 7.1 channel systems. Are your back channel speakers selected? If you have not yet selected Back channel speakers, press the MENU button on the remote (or the Menu button on the front panel) and go to the Speaker setup, Size setup menu page, > Back speakers . Dolby Pro Logic IIx Dolby Pro Logic IIx: This extends two channel or 5.1 channel source material to the center channel, surround channels and back channel speakers in a 7.1 channel system. Pro Logic IIx produces a spacious, enveloping effect. It is designed for use with any stereo, Dolby 2.0, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1 or Surround EX signal. With a single back channel speaker it is known as 6.1 channel, and with two back channel speakers it is known as 7.1 channel. There are two types of Pro Logic IIx: Pro Logic IIx Movie and Pro Logic IIx Music. These are our recommended surround modes if you have a 6.1 or 7.1 channel system. Please note that Pro Logic IIx Movie is not compatible with Dolby Digital 5.1 with a 6.1 channel system. We encourage you to rediscover how exciting and alive your older recordings will sound. - Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie : This version of Pro Logic IIx is optimized for movies and computer games. By feeding the surround and back channel speakers different signals, it produces a more spacious, enveloping effect. - Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music : This version of Pro Logic IIx is optimized for music listening; it is designed to produce very natural-sounding surround ambience from stereo sources such as CDs. It has three parameters not found in Pro Logic IIx Movie: - Center Width : This adjusts the apparent width of the center-channel signal. - Panorama : This wraps the sound of the front left and right speakers around the listening area. - Dimension : This moves the surround field toward the back or front of the room. These settings are made on the Dolby/DTS setup page of the Audio Setup menu. Note: Pro Logic IIx operates with the same menu settings you already made for Pro Logic II.
