Dolby Digital is the world wide audio standard for DVD-Video.

Dolby Digital EX

Available when the receiver is configured for 6.1 channel operation. Dolby Digital EX introduces a centre rear channel to the 5.1 playback format.This additional channel provides increased spatiality and realism for audio effects that pan from front to back, as well as enhanced localization of surround channels that originate from directly behind the listener.

When used with movies or other programs that have special encoding, Dolby Digital EX reproduces specially encoded soundtracks so that a full 6.1 soundfield is available. When the receiver is set for 6.1 operation and a Dolby Digital signal is present, the EX mode is automatically selected.
