Dolby Digital, unlike “matrixed”
systems (such as Dolby Pro
Logic) that derive multichannel
sound from a two-channel
source, is capable of delivering
information for one subwoofer
and five full-range channels as
discrete and individual channels
in digital AC-3 data format from
sources such as a DVD player.

of surround sound, the most
robust one being the 5.1-chan-

SOUND TECHNOLOGY ON THE
MARKET TODAY!
An amazing new technology for
surround-sound entertainment,
DTS Digital Surround is an
encode/decode system that
delivers six channels (5.1) of
master-quality, 20-bit audio.
In the encoding process, the
DTS algorithm encrypts six
channels of 20-bit digital audio
imformation in the space
previously allotted for only two
channels of 16-bit linear PCM.
Then during playback, the DTS
decoder reconstructs the
original six channels of 20-bit
digital audio.
