Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital provides discrete multichannel (up to a maximum of 5.1) audio. This is the same audio system as is installed in movie theaters. To enjoy Dolby Digital sound you need to connect this unit's optical digital input to the digital output on a DVD player with Dolby Digital decoding capability.

DOLBY

DIGITAL

Dolby Surround Pro Logic

When you play a 2-channel audio disc marked Dolby Surround Pro Logic using an AV amplifier equipped for Dolby Pro Logic, the audio is converted into 4-channel audio.

Dolby Pro Logic gives enhanced spatial and directional effects, creating theater-like sense of presence and ambience.

DOLBY SURROUND

PRO·LOGIC

DTS for Digital Theater Surround

DTS is a surround system delivering multi-channel audio from up to 6 independent sources. To hear DTS discs, you need to connect the digital output on DTS-capable DVD players and other units to this unit's digital input.

Dynamic Range Control

Dolby Digital has a function for compressing the difference between the loudest and softest sounds: Dynamic Range Control. This control ensures sounds with an increased dynamic range are heard clearly even at low volume levels.

Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse Code Modulation

This is a recording technology used on music CDs. Some DVD-Video discs also contain PCM sound tracks. While music CDs are recorded at 44.1 kHz/16 bits, DVD-Video discs' sound tracks are recorded at 48 kHz/16 bits to 96 kHz/24 bits, thereby offering better quality audio than music CDs.

Optical Digital Input

By receiving optical digital input audio signals in a digital signal format, the chance is minimized that the sonic quality deteriorates in the course of transmission. An optical digital input is an input designed to receive digital signals optically. (To take advantage of the digital input, output units such as DVD players must have optical outputs.)
