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.
