Digital video discs - 12 cm, single or double sided, single or dual layer. DVDs are high density optical discs on which high quality picture and audio are recorded by means of digital signals.
DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW
Most DVD-R and DVD+R (one recording only), DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs 
(rewritable), depending on the DVD

You can use this mode with any stereo program source (such as VCR/TV) to enjoy multi-channel sound experience.
Dolby Digital
The Dolby Digital mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from software processed in the Dolby Digital format. Dolby Digital provides better sound quality and a more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround. This unit is equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel so that you can enjoy enhanced full digital surround sound. The new system provides stereo separation of the rear speakers (Rear-Right, Rear-Left). Adding the subwoofer channel to the 5 channels for bass sounds (counted as 0.1 channel) results in 5.1 channels (or 6 Channels) that bring you the most sophisticated Dolby Digital sound enjoyment.
