Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a highly sophisticated and versatile audio
encoding/decoding technology. Dolby Digital technology can
transmit mono, stereo (two-channel), or up to 5.1-channel
surround sound (discrete* multichannel audio).
In 5.1-channel surround sound, the three front channels
(Left/Center/Right) deliver crisp, clean dialogue and accurate
placement of on-screen sounds, while twin surround channels
(Left Surround/Right Surround) wrap around the audience and
immerse them in the action. The LFE (Low-Frequency Effects)
channel delivers real impact for explosions and other effects that
can, literally, be felt as well as heard.
The superior coding efficiency of Dolby Digital-and its ability
to deliver high-quality discrete multichannel audio without
compromising video quality has made it the designated audio
standard for DVD worldwide.
* The sound information contained in each of the six available
channels is distinct and independent. These six channels
are described as a "5.1-channel" system, because there are
five full-bandwidth channels with 3 Hz to 20 kHz frequency
range for Front Left and Right, Center, and Surround, plus one
"Low Frequency Effects" (LFE) subwoofer channel devoted to
frequencies from 3 to 120 Hz.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby® Pro Logic® II technology processes any high quality stereo
(two-channel) movie and music audio into five playback channels
of full-bandwidth surround sound. A matrix surround decoding
SR technology, Dolby Pro Logic II detects the directional cues that
occur naturally in stereo content and uses these elements to
create a five-channel surround sound playback experience.
Dolby Pro Logic II is fully compatible with all Dolby Pro Logic
technologies. It provides optimal audio for playback in a 5.1-
channel home theater system for the thousands of videocassettes
and TV programs encoded in four-channel Dolby Surround (the
encoding counterpart to Dolby Pro Logic's decoding technology).
(Dolby Pro Logic II surround Movie mode)
Dolby Pro Logic II also enables video game consoles to encode
five-channel surround sound information into a stereo signal
with virtually no impact on the console's CPU, which means all
this extra audio won't slow your game down. (Dolby Pro Logic II
surround Game mode)
Dolby Pro Logic II can bring new life to your CD collection. Play
your music through your home theater system, and you'll hear
seamless, natural sound with new depth and detail. It's almost
like hearing a newly remastered CD. (Dolby Pro Logic II surround
Music mode)
