Because each channel is completely independent, a realistic sound field with a “three-dimensions” feel is achieved which gives the sound a sense of distance, movement and relative position, creating a real and powerful sense of presence. Some Dolby Digital programs carry information that allow you to compress the dynamic range of sound track, without degrading the sound quality, for softer sound effects when watching movies late at night.
