Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is the surround sound processing technology that is used with soundtracks encoded with Dolby Surround. Designed to process high quality stereo (two-channel) audio into five playback channels, the technology detects directional cues that are present in the audio and creates a five-channel signal for the listener. Derived from the Dolby Stereo technology used in movie theaters in the 1970s and 1980s, Dolby Pro Logic II, introduced in 2000, was an improvement upon the original Dolby Pro Logic. DPL II expanded the accuracy of the original, decoding a stereo signal into a simulated 5.1-channel surround sound signal with enhanced steering. Featuring a mode specifically designed for video game systems, both Sony and Nintendo have offered DLP II as an option in lieu of other digital surround formats such as Dolby Digital.
