Dolby Digital
This movie theater sound format is more advanced than
Dolby Surround Pro Logic. In this format, the surround
speakers output stereo sound with an expanded frequency
range, and a subwoofer channel for deep bass is
independently provided. This format is also called "5.1" with
the subwoofer channel designed as the 0.1 channel (since it
functions only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six
channels in this format are recorded separately for superior
channel separation. Furthermore, since all the signals are
processed digitally, less signal degradation occurs.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output
channels from 2 channel sources. This is done using an
advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts
the spatial properties of the original recording without adding
any new sounds or tonal colorations.
DTS
Digital audio compression technology developed by Digital
Theater Systems, Inc. This technology conforms to 5.1-
channel surround. This format comprises of stereo rear
channel and there is discrete subwoofer channel in this
format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high
quality digital audio. The good channel separation is realized
due to the all channel data being recorded discretely and
processed in digitally.
S-Force PRO Front Surround
Sony's long-term involvement in surround technology (and
the vast amounts of acoustic data accumulated as a result) has
led to the development of all-new processing method and
advanced DSP to handle this task effectively, which we call
S-Force PRO Front Surround. Compared with previous front
surround technologies, S-Force PRO Front Surround
reproduces a more convincing sense of distance and space,
resulting in a true surround sound experience without the
need for rear speakers.
S-Master
S-Master is an all-digital amplifier technology developed by
Sony, which effectively minimizes the occurrence of sound
fragmentation and jitter, delivering superb dialog clarity and
faithful reproduction of the original sound. The compact
amplifier section supports a higher power efficiency and
improved thermal performance.
