Digital 5.1
Just as the ATSC has specified 1080i or 720p as the video formats required for
HDTV, they have also specified a recommended audio format: Dolby Digital 5.1.
Dolby Digital 5.1 provides 5 discrete channels of digital audio information for use by
A/V receivers capable of decoding the 5.1 channel signal. The audio signals are
broken into left-front, center, right-front, left-rear, right-rear and a low-frequency
effects channel (designed for subwoofers). The result when connected to a
compatible Dolby Digital 5.1 channel A/V receiver and speaker setup is a home
theater experience that provides much of the dynamic range, 360-degree imaging,
and sonic excitement of a real theater.
