Dolby Digital Surround The Dolby Digital Surround system requires connection of all five speakers (front left, centre, front right, surround right, surround left) for correct surround sound reproduction. This 5.1 channel digital surround format allows for five individual full-range (20Hz - 20kHz) channels plus an LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel for the low-range (20Hz 120kHz) effects. It creates a realistic sound similar to theatre and cinema. A large number of DVD discs have recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. Dolby Pro Logic Surround The Dolby Pro Logic Surround system is a specially encoded two channel analogue format that will produce sound through four speaker channels (front left, centre, front right, mono surround) when a Dolby Pro Logic Decoder is used. It is also compatible with stereo systems but the user will only have two channels (Front Left & Right) of sound. Dolby 3 Stereo Dolby 3 Stereo produces sound through three speaker channels (front left, centre, front right) from a two channel analogue signal. It is not a surround format, so it does not require surround speakers. Stereo All sound is reproduced and played through the front left and right speakers. This enables standard stereo reproduction. 14 BASIC FUNCTIONS
