What is Dolby Digital
Surround?
Some DVDs have up to 5.1 channel soundtrack
recorded in Dolby Digital (AC-3) format. Using an
amplifier with 5.1 channel inputs and the 5 (+1*)
speakers, you can enjoy more real audio presence in
the comfort of your own home.
Even if you have fewer than 5 (+1*) speakers, the
player distributes the output signal to the speakers
appropriately.
You can also enjoy the VES (Virtual Enhanced
Surround) system using the DCS (Digital Cinema
Sound) method that Sony developed. The VES system
realize surround sound only with front speakers.
