DTS (DTS Digital Surround)

During playback of a DVD disc recorded in DTS format, the surround mode is set to DTS automatically.

DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 5.1 channels with lower audio compression than Dolby Digital. It provides the clarity and dynamics of the original master soundtrack.

Dolby Digital

During playback of a DVD disc recorded in DOLBY DIGITAL format, the surround mode is set to DOLBY DIGITAL automatically.

Dolby Digital delivers up to 5 totally discrete, full-frequency audio channels (front left and right, center, and surround left and right), plus 0.1 channel called LFE (Low-Frequency Effects). LFE delivers a separate non-directional bass signal to the sub-woofer for more dynamic deep bass sound effects.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is an advanced matrix decoder that gives you 5.1-channel surround sound (front left, center, front right, surround left and surround right) from any stereo program material, as well as Dolby Surround encoded material.

Compared with Pro Logic’s monaural, limited-bandwidth surround channel, Pro Logic II can provide two full-range surround channels.

<DOLBY PRO LOGIC II will not work on monaural source.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II MOVIE:

This mode is optimized for movies or Dolby Surround encoded materials. This mode is also appropriate for use with video games.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II MUSIC:

The Music mode creates a rich and enveloping surround ambience from stereo sources such as music CDs.

Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Pro Logic is a matrix decoder that decodes the four channels of surround sound (front left, center, front right and surround) that have been encoded onto the stereo soundtracks of Dolby Surround encoded material such as VHS movies. The surround channel is monaural, but is played through two surround speakers.

MATRIX

This mode emphasizes the sense of expansion for music source.

CHURCH

This mode provides reverberations as if you are in a stone- built church.

THEATER

This mode provides a three dimensional surround effect similar to that of a movie theater.

HALL

This mode is suitable for orchestral music such as classical music or opera.

STADIUM

This mode provides the expansive sound field to achieve the true stadium effect when watching baseball or soccer games.
