This unit has built-in Dolby Pro Logic circuitry so you can enjoy Dolby Surround. Dolby Pro Logic is a decoding system that was developed to get a better sense of presence from sources encoded with Dolby Surround. The feeling of position has been improved by the addition of a separate center speaker channel. If your DVD player only has 2-channel output, you can still enjoy surround sound when playing 5.1 channel software by using Dolby Pro Logic.
