❒ LPCM (Linear PCM)
In this format, the audio signal is converted to digital data and recorded in two
channels without compression. Because the capacity of a DVD video disc is
large, it can store more data with better accuracy than a CD.
Note: “LPCM” is displayed only for DVD video discs.
❒ Dolby Digital
This fully discrete format divides the music signals into 5.1 channels: Front
Left (L), Front Right (R), Center (C), Left Surround (LS), Right Surround (RS)
and Subwoofer (SW: 0.1 channel) for recording and playback. The number of
channels that are recorded depends on the software. (1 to 5.1 channels)
❒ Surround Format
This format records signals from four channels [Front Left (L), Front Right
(R), Center (C), and Monaural Surround (S)] in two channels, decodes those
channels through a Dolby Pro Logic decoder, and then outputs the resulting
signals in four channels.
❒ dts
This format requires more data than Dolby Digital, and provides higher quality
surround playback.
Similar to Dolby Digital, this fully discrete format divides the music signals
into 5.1 channels: Front Left (L), Front Right (R), Center (C), Left Surround
(LS), Right Surround (RS) and Subwoofer (SW: 0.1 channel) for recording
and playback.
