to select from:

Logic II, especially suited to movie sources

Logic II, especially suited to music sources

speakers (for single channel sources, the one
channel is output from all the speakers)
Note
• You can't use the surround mode with 96/88.2 kHz
PCM.

Listening in stereo

Just as you can listen to any source in surround sound,
you can also choose to listen to sources in stereo. In this
case, all sound will be played through the front left and
right speakers and the subwoofer.
Multichannel sources are mixed down to stereo so that
you still hear the full soundtrack.
