Dolby Digital EX*
Dolby Digital EX takes the Dolby Digital 5.1-channel setup one step further with an additional center
surround channel (reproduced through one or two speakers) for extra dimensional detail and an
enveloping surround sound effect. If your home theater system has a receiver or preamp/processor
with Dolby Digital EX decoding and speakers to support 6.1 or 7.1 playback, you can hear Surround
EX soundtracks as they were meant to be heard, with the increased realism created by the extra
surround channel.
Dolby Digital Live
A real-time encoding technology, Dolby Digital Live converts any audio signal into a Dolby Digital
bitstream for transport and playback through a home theater system. With it, your PC or game console
can be hooked up to your Dolby Digital-equipped audio/video receiver or digital speaker system via a
single digital connection, eliminating the confusion of multiple cables and ensuring the integrity of the
audio signal.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx
With Dolby Pro Logic IIx, any movie, CD, TV program or video game can be enjoyed through this
enhanced surround sound technology. Dolby Pro Logic IIx is the first and only technology to expand
any existing stereo- or 5.1-channel audio for a 6.1- or 7.1- channel playback, creating a seamless,
natural surround soundfield that immerses you in the entertainment experience.
Dolby Headphone
Dolby Headphone technology allows users to wear any set of headphones and listen to music, watch
movies, or play video games with the dramatic surround effects of a 5.1-channel soundtrack. Listeners
can enjoy the spacious, natural soundfield for hours.
