The “LOGIC7 ® On” function of the harman/
kardon LOGIC7 ® Surround Sound system per-
mits the playback of discrete 5.1 and stereo re-
cordings with an optimal surround sound
platform for each passenger. Music and films on
CD or audio and video DVDs with high-resolution
surround formats, such as MLP, DTS or Dolby
Digital, are played with optimum sound.
The LOGIC7
® distributes the 5.1 surround infor-
mation over the 12-channel system architecture
to provide the optimum sound in all seats. This
produces the sound characteristics as intended
by the sound engineer during the original record-
ing.
harman/kardon LOGIC7
® converts all two-chan-
nel stereo sound sources into multi-channel sur-
round sound. The surround information stored
during the original recording is read out using
LOGIC7
® and likewise distributed over the
12 channels. No effects are created during the
process, anything that was always on the record-
ing is just made audible again.
Moreover, harman/kardon LOGIC7
® draws the
audible sound source away from the individual
loudspeakers, thus creating a natural 360°
sound platform for each passenger.
i
By selecting “LOGIC7® Off”, the playback
of all playable formats is performed as on the ex-
isting medium. Due to the spatial conditions in
the vehicle, optimal sound is not possible in all
seats.
