For your reference:
• Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a digital sound compression
technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories
Licensing Corporation.
Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well
as stereo (2-channel) sound, this technique
enables a large quantity of sound data to be
efficiently recorded on a disc.
• Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in
CDs. While CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit,
DVDs are recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/
24 bit.
• If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder,
you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from
the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1
channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as
from titles with the Dolby Surround mark.
For information on Panasonic or Technics Dolby
Pro Logic Surround Sound Decoders please
contact your local dealer.
