Dolby Digital (AC-3)
The Dolby Digital (AC-3) surround format lets you enjoy up
to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digi-
tal (AC-3) program sources (such as LD or DVD software
marked
). Compared with previous Dolby Surround,
Dolby Digital (AC-3) provides even better sound quality,
greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.
Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center,
surround left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true
5.1 channel Dolby Digital (AC-3) surround sound, NV-701
lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (AC-3) (and Dolby Surround) pro-
gram sources, even if you connect only the front speakers.

* LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers sepa-
rate non-directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more
dynamic deep bass sound effects.
Although only Dolby Digital (AC-3) soundtracks incorporate
a separate low frequency channel, connecting a subwoofer
will also improve deep bass performance in the other sur-
round modes.
The indication "LFE" appears in the display when a signal is
being input for this channel.
