Digital audio formats

The System can play back the following digital audio formats.

Linear PCM: Uncompressed digital audio, the same format used for CDs and most studio masters.

Dolby Digital *2: Compressed digital audio, developed by Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel encode to create the realistic surround sound.

DTS *3 (Digital Theater Systems):

Compressed digital audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., which enables multi- channel like Dolby Digital. As the compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it provides wider dynamic range and better separation.

MPEG Audio: Another compressed digital audio which also enables multi-channel encode to create the realistic surround sound. However, this System downmix the multi-channel signals into 2 channels (decoded PCM) and play it back.

*1 A hybrid file system used to provide compatibility with ISO 9660 for accessing any type of files on the disc. (UDF stands for Universal Disk Format.)
