Dolby
Digital
This movie theater sound lormat is more
advanced
than Dolby Surround

this t_>rmat, the surround
speakers output stereo
sound witl_ an expanded
fl'equency range, and a
subwootlzr chaunel for deep bass is
independently
provided.
This R_rmat is also
called "5.1" with the subwoollzr cham_el
designed as the 0.1 cbannel (since it functions
only when a deep bass effcct is needed). All six

separately
for superior channel separation.

since all the signals are processed
digitally,
less
signal degradation
occurs.

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five [ull-bm*dwidth
output channels
from 2 channel sources. This is
done using an advanced,

adding any new s<)tmds or tonal colorations.

shows and all programs
encoded
in Dolby
Surround. The result is enhanced
