Digital Cinema Sound (DCS)
This is the generic name of the surround
sound produced by digital signal processing
technology developed by Sony. Unlike
previous surround sound fields mainly
directed at the reproduction of music,
Digital Cinema Sound is designed
specifically for the enjoyment of movies.
Dolby Digital
This sound format for movie theaters is
more advanced than Dolby Pro Logic
Surround. In this format, the rear speakers
output stereo sound with an expanded
frequency range and a subwoofer channel
for deep bass is independently provided.
This format is also called “5.1” because the
subwoofer channel is counted as 0.1 channel
(since it functions only when a deep bass
effect is needed). All six channels in this
format are recorded separately to realize
superior channel separation. Furthermore,
since all the signals are processed digitally,
less signal degradation occurs.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
As one method of decoding Dolby
Surround, Dolby Pro Logic Surround
produces four channels from two-channel
sound. Compared with the former Dolby
Surround system, Dolby Pro Logic Surround
reproduces left-to-right panning more
naturally and localizes sounds more
precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby
Pro Logic Surround, you should have one
pair of rear speakers and a center speaker.
The rear speakers output monaural sound.
Self-diagnosis Function
(When letters/numbers appear in the
display)
When the self-diagnosis function is
activated to prevent the system from
malfunctioning. In this case a five-character
service number (e.g., C 13 00) with a
combination of a letter and digits appears on
the screen and the front panel display. Refer
to the following table.
