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.
