sound will be converted to 2ch to be output on 
your camcorder.

 Dolby Digital 5.1 Creater compresses sound 

effectively while maintaining high quality 
sound. It creates Dolby Digital 5.1ch surround 
sound by using disc spaces effectively. A disc 
created by Dolby Digital 5.1 Creater can be 
played  back with DVD recorders/DVD players 
compatible with your discs. If you have a 5.1ch 
surround system, such as a home theater, you 
will enjoy more powerful sound.

**

The surround speakers output stereo sound 

from 6 channels, that is, 5.1ch from front 
speakers (Left/Right/Center) and rear speakers 
(Left/Right), and 0.1ch from a sub woofer that 
covers the deep bass range under 120Hz. The 
sub woofer channel is counted as 0.1 because 
of a deep bass. It reproduces 3D sound imaging 
providing more exciting and powerful sound 
compared with ordinary stereo sound that 
produces just left and right sound move.
