For your reference:
•Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. Supporting
•Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in CDs. While CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, DVDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit ~ 192 kHz/24 bit.
•If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1 channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround mark. For information on Panasonic or Technics Dolby Pro Logic Surround Sound Decoders please contact your local dealer.
