Surround
The AVR-3808CI is equipped with a digital signal processing circuit
that lets you play program sources in the surround mode to achieve
the same sense of presence as in a movie theater.
Dolby Surround
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by
Dolby Laboratories.
A total of 5.1-channels are played: 3 front channels ("FL " , "FR" and
"C"), 2 surround channels ("SL " and "SR") and the "LFE" channel for
low frequencies.
Because of this, there is no crosstalk between channels and a realistic
sound field with a "three-dimensional" feeling (sense of distance,
movement and positioning) is achieved.
A real, overpowering sense of presence is achieved when playing
movie sources in AV rooms as well.
Dolby Digital Plus
Dolby Digital Plus is an improved Dolby Digital signal format that is
compatible with up to 7 .1-channels of discrete digital sound and also
improves sound quality thanks to extra data bit rate performance. It
is upwardly compatible with conventional Dolby Digital, so it offers
greater flexibility in response to the source signal and the conditions
of the playback equipment.

Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a high definition audio technology developed by Dolby
Laboratories, using lossless coding technology to faithfully reproduce
the sound of the studio master.
This format is compatible with a maximum sampling frequency of 96
kHz and up to 7 .1-channels, so it is used for applications particularly
prioritizing sound quality.
Surround speaker
Dolby Pro Logic g
Dolby Pro Logic g is a matrix decoding technology developed by Dolby
2 to 3 feet /
Laboratories.
60 to 90 cm
Regular music such as that on CDs is encoded into 5-channels to
achieve an excellent surround effect.
The surround channel signals are converted into stereo and full band
signals (with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater)
to create a "three-dimensional" sound image offering a rich sense of
presence for all stereo sources.
Dolby Pro Logic gx
Dolby Pro Logic gx is a further improved version of the Dolby Pro Logic
g matrix decoding technology.
Audio signals recorded in 2-channels are decoded to achieve a natural
sound with up to 7 .1-channels.
There are 3 modes: "Music" suited for playing music, "Cinema"
suited for playing movies, and "Game" which is optimized for playing
games.

digital surround 5.1-channel data.
DTS-ES™ Discrete 6.1
DTS-ES™ Discrete 6.1 is a 6.1-channel discrete digital audio format
adding a surround back (SB) channel to the DTS digital surround sound.
Decoding of conventional 5.1-channel audio signals is also possible
according to the decoder.
DTS-ES™ Matrix 6.1
DTS-ES™ Matrix 6.1 is a 6.1-channel discrete digital audio format
inserting a surround back (SB) channel to the DTS digital surround
sound through matrix encoding. Decoding of conventional 5.1-channel
audio signals is also possible according to the decoder.
DTS NEO:6™ Surround
DTS NEO:6™ is a matrix decoding technology for achieving 6.1-
channel surround playback with 2-channel sources. It includes "DTS
NEO:6 CINEMA" suited for playing movies and "DTS NEO:6 MUSIC"
