Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital (earlier called AC-3) delivers five discreet full-range channels (left
front, center, right front, left surround and right surround) plus a separate Low
Frequency Effects (LFE) channel.
Many soundtracks on the latest generation laser discs, DVDs and High Definition
Television (HDTV), are encoded with Dolby Digital technology.
When a 5.1 channel Dolby Digital program source is playing, such as from a game
console, Creative PC-DVD player or DVD player, the Dolby Digital indicator light
will illuminate automatically.
Note
: Not every section of a DVD will be 5.1-channel encoded. On many DVDs,
only the main movie program will be available in 5.1 channel sound. Other supporting
chapters (like a “Director’s Comment” section) may be in stereo or mono. These
sections will not light the Dolby Digital indicator even though the sound will be
properly reproduced by the PS2000 Digital.
Creative Multi Speaker Surround (CMSS)
CMSS is a 2-channel to 5.1-channel sound processor similar in some aspects to a
Dolby Surround Pro Logic processor.
The Music and Movie modes create a virtual 5.1 audio experience.
