Glossary
Dolby Digital
Digital audio encoding/decoding technology 
developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. It 
consists of front (L/R), center, surround (L/R) 
and sub-woofer channels. It is a designated 
audio standard for DVD-video and also known 
as 5.1ch surround. Since surround information 
is recorded and reproduced in stereo, more 
realistic sound with fuller presence is 
delivered than with Dolby surround.
Dolby Pro Logic II
This technology converts 2ch stereo recorded 
audio into 5.1ch for playback. There is a 
MOVIE mode for movies and MUSIC mode 
for stereo sources such as music. Old movies 
encoded in the traditional stereo format can be 
enhanced with 5.1ch surround sound.
Dolby Surround (Dolby Pro 
Logic)
Audio processing technology developed by 
Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Center and mono 
surround information is matrixed into two 
stereo channels. When reproduced, audio is 
decoded and output in 4ch surround sound. 
This is the most common audio processing 
method for DVD-video.
DTS Digital Surround
Digital audio encoding/decoding technology 
for theaters developed by Digital Theater 
Systems, Inc. It compresses audio less than 
Dolby Digital, delivering a higher quality 
sound reproduction.
Sampling frequency
To convert analog audio to digital, analog data 
should be quantified. This process is called 
sampling, and the number of times per second 
the analog data is quantified is called the 
sampling frequency. A standard music CD 
stores data quantified at 44,100 times per 
second, which is expressed as a sampling 
frequency of 44.1 kHz. Generally speaking, a 
higher sampling frequency means better sound 
quality.
