compression

Dolby Pro-Logic II sounds compressed? Are you talking about a PLII soundtrack that's sometimes included on a DVD or the PLII format itself? On a DVD, the soundtrack is indeed compressed to usually about 192kb/s (basically 2-channel Dolby Digital) and sounds pretty lifeless. However, the PLII format itself was originally made to expand 2 channels of uncompressed audio to 5.1 channels of uncompressed audio for non-discrete surround sound and, at least to my ears, sounds worlds better than Dolby Digital 5.1 despite not being discrete.
