ABOUT DOLBY SURROUND
What is Dolby Surround sound?
Dolby Surround sound isa multichannel sound processing system originally
developed to enhance the soundtracks of theatrical motion pictures. The
multichannel
capability
enables
film makers to present dialogue
and
sound effects in a more dimensional
manner that complements
the action
occurring on the screen. Forexample,
acarracing
from screen right to
screen left is accompanied
by the sound of the engine, screeching tires,
etc., moving inthesame
direction throughout
the theater.
How does Dolby Surround sound work in the home?
Designed by the highly renowned Dolby Laboratories,
the home version
of this system utilizes a matrix encoding scheme that combines4
separate
signals (left, right, surround, centre) into 2 channels, for distribution
on
stereo video tapes, laser discs, DVD, and other software. The built-in Pro
Logic surround decoder in the amplifier
restores the original left, right,
centre and surround channels, which stabilizes the action occurring at the
centre of the screen. The Pro Logic surround system recaptures the full
richness and depth of a film encoded in Dolby Surround, for enjoyment in
the comfort of your own home.
To achieve the best sound performance, select music sources which have
the
OI
DOLBY 8URR0UND\TM
mark.
