listener. As well as music and movies, video games can also benefit from the dramatic
spatial effects and vivid imaging.

• Dolby PLII Music
Use this mode to add 5.1 surround to stereo sources such as music CDs and DVDs.
• Dolby PLII Game
Use this mode when playing game discs.

ing. “Sp Config” (presence of speakers), “Crossover”, “Sp Distance”, “A/V Sync”
