Amplifier Connection (TO AUDIO AMP)

For a full Home Theater sound experience, an external Dolby Digital decoder and a multichannel amplifier must be

Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround sound delivers digital-quality sound. Dolby Digital provides five discrete full-
bandwidth channels for front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right, plus a LFE (Low Frequency
Effect) subwoofer channel.
