I have found that, for stereo only material (almost all laserdiscs, a few DVDs, lps, and audio tapes) the Dolby Pro Logic II Music codec is superb in adding a surround feel. I hate the original Pro Logic, finding it harsh and distorted, but Dolby let surround guru Jim Fosgate develop the PL II algorhythym and it is truly musical, better than its DTS competition, surprising since DTS discrete and matrix 5.1 and 6.1 soundly trounces Dolby Digital. You have to just trust your ears. Having heard what PL II Music (which I prefer to PL II Movie) can do for stereo I will never go back to plain stereo.
