Dolby Digital
The Dolby Digital mode lets you enjoy full digital
surround from software processed in the Dolby Digital for-
mat. Dolby Digital provides better sound quality and more
powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround.
This unit is equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel so
that you can enjoy enhanced full digital surround sound.
Being different from Dolby Pro Logic in which only four
channels ( Front Left, Front Right, Centre and Rear ) are
used, the new system provides stereo separation of the rear
speakers (Rear-Right, Rear-Left ). These 5 channels, togeth-
er with the subwoofer channel for bass sounds ( counted as
0.1 channel ), constitute as 5.1-Channel ( or 6 Channels )
Input for Dolby Digital that brings you the most sophisticat-
ed sound enjoyment.
Digital Theater Systems (DTS)
DTS is a digital surround system which delivers six channels
of master-quality, 20-bit audio. It offers five full-range
channels plus a special low frequency effect (LFE) channel
for subwoofer, resulting commonly know 5.1 channels. It
can be applied with existing 5.1 speaker configurations.
DTS is available in DVD, SAT/CAB and CD mode.
