    stereo mode and prologic mode

    Well I think that it is really pro logic II because it outputs to all 5 speakers and the sub. If I remember right pro logic is just the front speakers right? But anyways. Dolby digital sounds about right with the bass, pro logic is too quiet and stereo is way too much bass. see my other post...
