Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is the surround sound technology used in theaters showing the latest movies, and is now available to
reproduce this realistic effect in the home. You can enjoy motion picture and live concert DVD video discs encoded via the
Dolby Digital recording system with this dynamic realistic sound by connecting the TV/DVD to a 6 channel amplifier
equipped with a Dolby Digital decoder or Dolby Digital processor. If you have a Dolby Surround Pro Logic decoder, you will
obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as
well as from titles with the Dolby Surround mark.
