Dolby Pro Logic
is
a decoding system
that
was
developed
to
get
a
better
sense
of
presence from
sources encoded
with
Dolby Surround.
The
feeling of position
has been improved by
the
addition of
a separate center speaker channel.
Dolby Surround
was
developed
to
allow
enjoyment
of
Dolby Stereo, a
cinema
system,
in
private
homes. This
system reproduces sound
close
to
that of the original
movie
through use
of
an analog
matrix.
This
unit
has two types
of
Dolby Pro
Logic.
•
SURROUND:
the
surround speakers are

• 3
STEREO:
the

are not

add
surround-like
effects to
sources not formatted with
Dolby Surround, Dolby

or
DTS.
Various
effects, like
a concert
hall
or jazz
club,
can be achieved by introducing width or
reverberation
to
the
original
sound.

DTS
Dolby
Digital is
a
discrete
6
(5,1)
channel
digital
surround system developed
for
cinema
use.
The sound
signals
in
Dolby
Digital
format are
compressed
to
1/10 their original size, allowing
an
entire
movie
to
be recorded on a
single
DVD.
Not
all
Dolby
Digital
sources are recorded
with
6
channels.
Some
sources
marked
Dolby
Digital
may
be recorded
in
Dolby Surround, a 2 channel
system.

DTS
is
a
discrete 6
(5.1)
channel
digital
surround
system developed
for
cinema
use.
Sources
encoded
in
DTS
are only
compressed
to
a quarter
of
the size
of
the
original to
preserve
sound
quality.
DTS
sources are
produced
with the intention that
all
speaker channels
will
be used.
