Concepts

Dolby Digital or Dolby 5.1 or AC-3, is an audio coding system containing up to 6
discrete channels of sound, with 5 channels for normal-range speakers (20 Hz - 20,
000 Hz) (Right front, Center, Left Front, Right Rear and Left Rear) and one channel
(20 Hz - 120 Hz) for the LFE, or subwoofer.

Dolby E is a professional coding system optimized for the distribution of surround and
multichannel audio through two-channel postproduction and broadcasting
infrastructures, or for recording surround audio on two audio tracks of conventional
digital video tapes, video servers, communication links, switchers, and routers.

converter can be switched off.
