The 5.1-channel digital surround format of DOLBY DIGITAL/DTS/ MPEG2* enables you to individually play five full-range (20Hz-20kHz) channels (left and right front, center, two surround channels) plus an LFE (Low Frequency Effect) channel for the low-range effect sound. It will create a realistic sound as heard in theaters and concert halls.

DOLBY DIGITAL Surround

DVD videos that have the mark are recorded using this

D I G I T A L

system.

DTS Surround

DVD videos and audio CDs that have the

 

mark are recorded

using this system.

 

 

MPEG2*

 

 

DVD videos that have the

 

 

 

mark are recorded using

 

 

 

 

this system. MPEG2 may have 8 channels. In this case, left and right center speakers in addition to the above speaker configuration are used.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC Surround

This surround format consists of 4 channels (left and right front, center, and monaural surround channel) and emphasizes the center channel. This format is very effective for panning music, conversation, and three-dimensional sound movement output from three front channels. It also simulates the atmosphere and surround effects of the sound reflected from the side and rear walls of the theater.
