Digital Cinema Sound (DCS) (page 64) Technology that Sony developed to enjoy surround in a home using 4 or more speakers. It simulates the sound of a movie editing studio instead of the usual concert hall so that you can enjoy the surround sound of a movie theatre in the comfort of your own home.

Dolby Digital (page 25, 92)

 

Digital audio compression technology

 

developed by Dolby Laboratories. This

 

technology conforms to 5.1-channel

 

surround sound. The rear channel is stereo

 

and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in

 

this format. Dolby Digital provides the same

 

5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital

 

audio found in Dolby Digital cinema audio

 

systems. Good channel separation is realized

 

Additional

because all of the channel data are recorded

 

discretely and little deterioration is realized

 

because all channel data processing is digital.
