DOLBY DIGITAL MODE

The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital program source. If you connect a DVD player or an LD player equipped with a DOLBY DIGITAL output to the DIGITAL (Dolby Digital)/DTS/PCM DIGITAL IN jack (Optical or Coaxial digital IN) on your AV Receiver and play DVD or laser discs with the Dolby Digital trademark, you will experience exceptional sound quality, great spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range. This is because Dolby Digital delivers 5 totally discrete, full frequency audio channels (Front Left Right, Center, Surround Left and Right), plus a "0.1" channel called LFE (Low frequency-only effects channel).

Dolby Digital is a system developed by Dolby laboratories that transmits 5.1 digital signals, The surround system developed for movie theaters using this system is called “Dolby SR-D (Surround Digital)”. Because each channel is completely independent, a realistic sound field with a “three-dimensions” feel is achieved which gives the sound a sense of distance, movement and relative position, creating a real and powerful sense of presence. Some Dolby Digital programs carry information that allow you to compress the dynamic range of sound track, without degrading the sound quality, for softer sound effects when watching movies late at night.
