Dolby Digital (AC-3) *
Dolby Digital are digital sound compression techniques developed by the Dolby
Laboratories for digital multi-channel audio signals. The Dolby Digital system supports
any configuration of audio channels, from stereo (2-channel) sound, up to 5.1 digital
surround.
Your DVD player
will always deliver a high-quality 2-channel (stereo) signal to the audio output, regardless
of whether the soundtracks on DVD movies are in 2-channel stereo, in Dolby Surround,
in Dolby Digital (AC-3) or in MPEG2 audio multichannel. In some cases the soundtracks
may be single channel (mono) only, then the output will also be mono only.
In order to benefit from the full digital 5-channel surround sound (Dolby Digital or
MPEG2 audio) you need an external appropriate decoder, which has to be hooked up to
the special optical or coaxial audio digital output (page 36/37).

MPEG2 audio multichannel
The newly-developed MPEG2 audio multichannel technology is implemented for digital
sound compression.
The MPEG2 audio multichannel system supports any configuration of audio channels,
from stereo (2-channel) sound, up to 7.1 digital channels including 5.1 surround sound.
