Dolby Digital lets you enjoy Digital TV, Digital Satellite as well as DVD, LD software in digital surround, which is the next step above Dolby Pro Logic. In Comparison with Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital can provide separate left surround and right surround channels, for more precise localization of sound and a more convincing, realistic ambience.

And, with Dolby Digital all five main channels can be full ranged and a subwoofer can be added to each channel, if desired.

By providing up to 5.1 channels of digital audio independently. Dolby Digital lets you enjoy better sound quality and more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround.

Pro Logic II, the next generation in Dolby Surround Pro Logic technology, brings the excitement of surround sound to any existing stereo mix, while making existing Dolby Surround mixes sound more like discrete 5.1-channel surround sound. It works with CDs, VHS tapes and TV shows, and MP3 files and radio broadcasts-converting all of these source to surround sound, without the artifacts by other matrix-decoding technologies.
