Dolby Pro Logic: A two-channnel analog format that proivides

sound through four speakers (Front Left and Right, Center, and a

single Rear (Surround)) when using a Dolby ProLogic Decoder. It

is compatible with a Stereo, but you will only have two-channel

sound (left and right) at the Stereo.

DTS (Digital Theater System): Developed by Digital

Theater Systems, Inc., of the United States. Sound is com-

pressed to reduce its recording size. Since the compression

level is less than Dolby Digital, the quantity of data is greater

when decoded, providing clarity and depth in the sound.The

sound has a wider dynamic range and higher resolution.

Note:

- Surround Sound is not available when you are using

headphones.The SURROUND light will turn off.
