23 1 In this format, the audio signal is converted to digital data and recorded in two
channels without compression. Because the capacity of a DVD video disc is
large, it can store more data with better accuracy than a CD.
Note: "LPCM" is displayed only for DVD video discs.
This fully discrete format divides the music signals into 5.1 channels: Front
Left (L), Front Right (R), Center (C), Left Surround (LS), Right Surround (RS)
and Subwoofer (SW: 0.1 channel) for recording and playback. The number of
channels that are recorded depends on the software. (1 to 5.1 channels)
This format records signals from four channels [Front Left (L), Front Right
(R), Center (C), and Monaural Surround (S)] in two channels, decodes those
channels through a Dolby Pro Logic decoder, and then outputs the resulting
signals in four channels.
This format requires more data than Dolby Digital, and provides higher quality
surround playback.
Similar to Dolby Digital, this fully discrete format divides the music signals
into 5.1 channels: Front Left (L), Front Right (R), Center (C), Left Surround
(LS), Right Surround (RS) and Subwoofer (SW: 0.1 channel) for recording
and playback.
