DOLBY SURROUND

With this unit’s built-in Dolby Digital decoder and surround speaker system (the center and surround speaker units supplied in addition to the left and right front speakers), video software recorded in Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic can be played back in full scale home theater sound.

Dialogs are heard in the front and center sound field, while ambient sounds like cars and crowds are reproduced on all sides of the listener, all in all for an incredibly lifelike audio-visual experience.

Dolby Pro Logic has four independent channels; left, center, right, and surround. These four channels are encoded into the two tracks of a conventional stereo program source. This unit’s Dolby Digital decoder recovers these four channels on playback. Dolby Pro Logic software is marked with the Hlogo.

Dolby Digital, in contrast to Dolby Pro Logic, is digitized, and has separate left and right surround channels plus an additional low-frequency effects (LFE) channel. Thus it is also referred to as “5.1-channel” Dolby Digital, with the LFE channel counted as “0.1” channel.

Dolby Digital software is marked with the logo.
