x 5.1ch surround sound
A system that plays back sound on 6
speakers, 3 at the front (left, right and center)
and 2 at the rear (right and left) with an
additional low-pass sub woofer counted as
a 0.1 channel for frequencies of 120Hz or
lower. The sub woofer is only counted as 0.1
channel because its playback band is narrow.
The all-round audio reproduction is more
realistic than stereo, which only reproduces
movement of sound from side to side.

by Dolby Laboratories Inc. which
compresses audio efficiently while
preserving high sound quality. It enables
recording of 5.1ch surround sound while
using the hard disk space of the camcorder
more efficiently. DVD created by Dolby
Digital 5.1 Creator can be played back on a
DVD devices compatible with Dolby Digital
5.1. If you own a 5.1ch system (such as a
home theater system) you can enjoy a
powerful sound.

Photomovie to view still images on a DVD
device that does not support JPEG playback.
Still images converted to a Photomovie are
played back continuously like a slide show.
Resolution is slightly reduced.
