About Dolby Surround Sound The sound tracks of many programs, including current TV shows and movies that are on video cassette and laser disc, use Dolby Surround Sound. This enhanced audio soundtrack complements the action as it happens on the screen. Surround sound uses four separate channels to direct off-screen audio effects, on-screen dialog, left-to right panning, and music, bringing you right into the action. In the past, you would have to go to a movie theater to experience all the benefits of surround sound. But now, with the special sound decoder that is built into this receiver, you can experience Dolby Surround Sound right in your living room, with sound that even rivals what you would experience in a movie house. Amplifier This receiver employs a parallel push-pull output circuit. This circuit design allows the output impedance to be lowered, while allowing current flow and total power dissipation to increase. The result is better performance into low impedance loads, and at high power output levels. * Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.
