Other Information
The  AVR-4310CI  is  equipped  with  a  digital  signal  processing  circuit 
that lets you play program sources in the surround mode to achieve 
the same sense of presence as in a movie theater.
Dolby Digital
Dolby  Digital  is  a  multi-channel  digital  signal  format  developed  by 
Dolby Laboratories.
A total of 5.1-channels are played: 3 front channels (“FL” , “FR” and 
“C”), 2 surround channels (“SL” and “SR”) and the “LFE” channel for 
low frequencies.
Because of this, there is no crosstalk between channels and a realistic 
sound  field  with  a  “three-dimensional”  feeling  (sense  of  distance, 
movement and positioning) is achieved.
A  real,  overpowering  sense  of  presence  is  achieved  when  playing 
movie sources in AV rooms as well.
Dolby Digital Plus
Dolby  Digital  Plus  is  an  improved  Dolby  Digital  signal  format  that  is 
compatible with up to 7.1-channels of discrete digital sound and also 
improves sound  quality thanks  to extra data bit rate  performance. It 
is  upwardly  compatible  with  conventional  Dolby  Digital,  so  it  offers 
greater flexibility in response to the source signal and the conditions 
of the playback equipment.
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a high definition audio technology developed by Dolby 
Laboratories, using lossless coding technology to faithfully reproduce 
the sound of the studio master.
This format is compatible with a maximum sampling frequency of 96 
kHz and up to 7.1-channels, so it is used for applications particularly 
prioritizing sound quality.
Dolby Pro Logic g
Dolby Pro Logic g is a matrix decoding technology developed by Dolby 
Laboratories.
Regular  music  such  as  that  on  CDs  is  encoded  into  5-channels  to 
achieve an excellent surround effect.
The surround channel signals are converted into stereo and full band 
signals (with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) to 
create  a  “three-dimensional”  sound  image  offering  a  rich  sense  of 
presence for all stereo sources.
