A disc created by Dolby Digital 5.1 Creater can be played back with DVD recorders/DVD players compatible with your discs. If you have 5.1ch surround system such as a home theater, you will enjoy more powerful sound.
**The surround speakers output stereo sound from 6 channels, that is, 5.1ch from front speakers (Left/Right/Center) and rear speakers (Left/Right), and 0.1ch from a sub woofer that covers the deep bass range under 120Hz. The sub woofer channel is counted as 0.1 because of a deep bass. It reproduces 3D sound imaging providing more exciting and powerful sound compared with ordinary stereo sound that produces just left and right sound move.
