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.
