PLIIx MUS & PLII MUSIC
The Dolby PLIIx MUS (MUSIC) and Dolby PLII MUSIC listening modes
are designed to playback 7.1 or 5.1 discrete channels decoded from
2-channel music sources. The seven or five main channels are full
frequency. The .1 channel, often referred to as LFE information, has a
limited frequency range of up to 120Hz. The PLIIx listening mode is
only available when the front, side and rear speakers are present.
Note:
The PLIIx MUS mode does not appear in the list of available listening modes
if either the side or rear speakers are missing from the configuration.
See “Listening Mode Menu Option & Parameter Descriptions” on page 5-37 for detailed
descriptions.
PL +
This mode is designed for playback of Dolby Surround-encoded
sources and decodes four channels: three front channels and one
mono surround channel with a high-frequency rolloff above 7kHz.
This mode is recommended for home theaters with THX-certified
speakers. Dolby PL + THX mode:
• Applies THX re-equalization to simulate high-frequency rolloffs
that occur in movie theaters. Most films are mixed for movie
theaters, and may sound too bright when played back in home
theaters without re-equalization.
• Applies THX timbre matching to minimize timbre differences
between the front and surround channels, which results in
smoother sound movements between them.
