Dolby Digital identifi es the use of Dolby Digital audio
coding for such consumer formats as DVD and DTV.
As with fi lm sound, Dolby Digital can provide up
to fi ve full-range channels for left, center, and right
screen channels, independent left and right surround
channels, and a sixth (“.1”) channel for low-frequency
effects.
Dolby Surround Pro Logic
II
is an improved matrix
decoding technology that provides better spatiality
and directionality on Dolby Surround program
material; provides a convincing three-dimensional
soundfi eld on conventional stereo music recordings;
and is ideally suited to bring the surround experience
to automotive sound. While conventional surround
programming is fully compatible with Dolby Surround
Pro Logic
II
decoders, soundtracks will be able to be
encoded specifi cally to take full advantage of Pro
Logic
II
playback, including separate left and right
surround channels. (Such material is also compatible
with conventional Pro Logic decoders.)
Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output
channels from 5.1-channel sources. This is done
using a matrix decoder that derives three surround
channels from the two in the original recording. For
best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with
movies soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital
Surround EX.
About Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Dolby Pro Logic II x technology delivers a natural
and immersing 7.1-channel listening experience
to the home theater environment. A product of
Dolby's expertise in surround sound and matrix
decoding technologies, Dolby Pro Logic II x is a
complete surround sound solution that maximizes
the entertainment experience from stereo as well as
5.1-channel encoded sources.
Dolby Pro Logic II x is fully compatible with Dolby
Surround Pro Logic technology and can optimally
decode the thousands of commercially available
Dolby Surround encoded video cassettes and
television programs with enhanced depth and
spatiality. It can also process any high-quality
stereo or Advanced Resolution 5.1-channel music
content into a seamless 6.1- or 7.1-channel listening
experience.
The Dolby Headphone technology provides a
surround
sound listening experience over headphones.
When listening to multichannel content such as DVD
movies over headphones, the listening experience
is fundamentally different than listening to speakers.
Since the headphone speaker drivers are covering
the pinna of the ear, the listening experience differs
greatly from traditional speaker playback. Dolby
utilizes patented headphone perspective curves to
solve this problem and provides a non-fatiguing,
immersive, home theater listening experience. Dolby
Headphone also delivers exceptional 3D audio from
stereo material.
Dolby Virtual Speaker is a technologycertified
by Dolby Laboratories that creates a virtualized
surround sound experience from two speakers using
a multichannel Dolby Digital source. Additionally,
Dolby Virtual Speaker can simulate the surround
sound effect produced by Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby
Pro Logic I I .
Dolby Virtual Speaker retains all the original
Multichannel audio information and provides the
listener with the sensation of being surrounded by
additional speakers.
Dolby

TrueHD is Dolby’s next-generation lossless
technology developed for high-defi nition disc-based
media. Dolby TrueHD delivers tantalizing sound
that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio master,
unlocking the true high-definition entertainment
experience on next-generation discs. When coupled
with high-defi nition video, Dolby TrueHD offers an
unprecedented home theater experience that lets
you enjoy sound as stunning as the high-defi nition
picture.
Dolby Digital Plus is a highly sophisticated and
versatile audio codec based on Dolby Digital and
designed specifically to adapt to the changing
demands of future audio, video delivery, and audio
storage systems while simultaneously retaining
backwards compatibility with the existing Dolby
Digital 5.1-channel home theater systems in use
today.
Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories.
“Dolby”, “Pro Logic”, “Surround EX”, and the double-D
symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.
Circle Surround I I (CS-I I ) is a powerful and versatile
multichannel technology. CS-I I is designed to enable
up to 6.1 multichannel surround sound playback
from mono, stereo, CS encoded sources and other
matrix encoded sources. In all cases the decoder
extends it into 6 channels of surround audio and a
LFE/subwoofer signal. The CS-II decoder creates a
listening environment that places the listener “inside”
music performances and dramatically improves
both hi-fi audio conventional surround-encoded
video material. CS-I I provides composite stereo rear
channels to greatly improve separation and image
positioning– adding a heightened sense of realism to
both audio and A/V productions.
CS-II is packed with other useful feature like dialog
clarity (SRS Dialog) for movies and cinema-like bass
enrichment (TruBass). CS-II can enable the dialog
to become clearer and more discernable in movies
and it enables the bass frequencies contained in the
original programming to more closely achieve low
frequencies–overcoming the low frequency limitations
of the speakers by full octave.

HDCD
®
(High Defi nition Compatible Digital
®
) is a
patented process for delivering on Compact Disc the
full richness and details of the original microphone
feed.
HDCD encoded CDs sound better because they are
encoded with 20-bits of real musical information as
compared to 16-bits for all other CDs.
HDCD overcomes the limitation of the 16-bit CD
format by using a sophisticated system to encode
the additional four bits onto the CD while remaining
completely compatible with the CD format.
When listening to HDCD recordings, you hear more
dynamic range, a focused 3-D sound stage, and
extremely natural vocal and musical timbre. With
HDCD, you get the body, depth and emotion of the
original performance not a fl at, digital imitation.

• dts Digital Surround
DTS was introduced in 1994 to provide 5.1 channels
of discrete digital audio into home theater systems.
DTS brings you premium quality discrete multichannel
digital sound to both movies and music.
DTS is a multichannel sound system designed to
create full range digital sound reproduction.
The no compromise DTS digital process sets the
standard of quality for cinema sound by delivering
an exact copy of the studio master recordings to
neighborhood and home theaters.
Now, every moviegoer can hear the sound exactly as
the moviemaker intended.
DTS can be enjoyed in the home for either movies or
music on of DVD’s, LD’s, and CD’s.
• dts Neo:6
®
The advantages of discrete multichannel systems
over matrix are well known.
But even in homes equipped for discrete multichannel,
there remains a need for high-quality matrix decoding.
This is because of the large library of matrix surround
motion pictures available on disc and on VHS tape;
and analog television broadcasts.
The typical matrix decoder of today derives a center
channel and a mono surround channel from two-
channel matrix stereo material. It is better than a
simple matrix in that it includes steering logic to
improve separation, but because of its mono, band-
limited surround it can be disappointing to users
accustomed to discrete multichannel.
Neo:6 offers several important improvements as
follow,
• Neo:6 provides up to six full-band channels of
matrix decoding from stereo matrix material. Users
with 6.1 and 5.1 systems will derive six and fi ve
separate channels, respectively, corresponding to
the standard home-theater speaker layouts.
• Neo:6 technology allows various sound elements
within a channel or channels to be steered
separately, and in a way which follows naturally
from the original presentation.
• Neo:6 offers a music mode to expand stereo
nonmatrix recordings into the fi ve- or six-channel
layout, in a way which does not diminish the subtlety
and integrity of the original stereo recording.
• dts Digital Surround ES
®
DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new multichannel
digital signal format developed by Digital Theater
Systems Inc. While offering high compatibility with the
conventional DTS Digital Surround format, DTS-ES
Extended Surround greatly improves the 360-degree
surround impression and space expression thanks
to further expanded surround signals. This format
has been used professionally in movie theaters since
1999.
In addition to the 5.1 surround channels (FL, FR, C,
SL, SR and LFE), DTS-ES Extended Surround also
offers the SB (Surround Back) channel for surround
playback with a total of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES
Extended Surround includes two signal formats with
different surround signal recording methods, as DTS-
ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1.
• dts Digital Surround 96/24
The stereo CD is a 16-bit medium with sampling at
44.1 kHz. Professional audio has been 20- or 24-
bit for some time, and there is increasing interest
in higher sampling rates both for recording and for
delivery into the home. Greater bit depths provide
extended dynamic range. Higher sampling rates
allow wider frequency response and the use of anti-
alias and reconstruction fi lters with more favorable
aural characteristics.
DTS 96/24 allows for 5.1channel sound tracks to be
encoded at a rate of 96kHz/24bits on DVD-Video
titles.
When DVD-video appeared, it became possible to
deliver 24-bit, 96 kHz audio into the home, but only in
two channels, and with serious limitations on picture.
This capability has had little use.
DVD-audio allows 96/24 in six channels, but a
new player is needed, and only analog outputs are
provided, necessitating the use of the D/A converters
and analog electronics provided in the player.
DTS 96/24 offers the following:
1. Sound quality transparent to the original 96/24
master.
2. Full backward compatibility with all existing
decoders. (Existing decoders will output a 48 kHz
signal)
3. No new player required: DTS 96/24 can be carried
on DVD-video, or in the video zone of DVD-audio,
accessible to all DVD players.
4. 96/24 5.1-channel sound with full-quality full-
motion video, for music programs and motion
picture soundtracks on DVD-video.
DTS-HD Master Audio is capable of delivering audio
that is a bit-for-bit identical to the studio master.
DTS-HD Master Audio delivers audio at super high
variable bit rates -24.5 mega-bits per second (Mbps)
on Blu-ray discs and 18.0 Mbps on HD-DVD - that
are signifi cantly higher than standard DVDs . This bit
stream is so “fast” and the transfer rate is so “high”
that it can deliver the Holy Grail of audio: 7.1 audio
channels at 96k sampling frequency/24 bit depths
that are identical to the original. With DTS-HD Master
Audio, you will be able to experience movies and
music, exactly as the artist intended: clear, pure, and
uncompromised.
