DOLBY DIGITAL MODE
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels
of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital program source. If
you connect a DVD player or an LD player equipped with a DOLBY
DIGITAL output to the DIGITAL (Dolby Digital)/DTS/PCM DIGITAL
IN jack (Optical or Coaxial digital IN) on your AV Receiver and play
DVD or laser discs with the Dolby Digital trademark, you will
experience exceptional sound quality, great spatial accuracy, and
improved dynamic range. This is because Dolby Digital delivers 5
totally discrete, full frequency audio channels (Front Left Right,
Center, Surround Left and Right), plus a "0.1" channel called LFE
(Low frequency-only effects channel).
Dolby Digital is a system developed by Dolby laboratories that
transmits 5.1 digital signals, The surround system developed for
movie theaters using this system is called “Dolby SR-D (Surround
Digital)”. Because each channel is completely independent, a
realistic sound field with a “three-dimensions” feel is achieved
which gives the sound a sense of distance, movement and relative
position, creating a real and powerful sense of presence. Some
Dolby Digital programs carry information that allow you to
compress the dynamic range of sound track, without degrading the
sound quality, for softer sound effects when watching movies late
at night.
