Dolby Virtual Speaker The Dolby Virtual Speaker features a virtual surround sound field. This implements an effect as if there are multiple speakers in the listening room. Dolby Headphone When headphones are used in music listening, the audio of the left (or right) channel reaches only the left (or right) year so the listener cannot feel the presence of acoustic images on the front. The Dolby Headphone simulates a virtual room and include its acoustic characteristics in the left and right headphone signals. As a result, the listener can hear the same components as in speaker listening through the left and right years and therefore feel as if the sound source is located on the front of the listener. Because of the same processing in "Pro Logic II surround MOVIE mode with Dolby Headphone" and "Pro Logic II surround GAME mode with Dolby Headphone", their respective effectiveness is the same. Dolby Digital EX Dolby Digital EX is an extension of Dolby Digital technology, Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 6. 1channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives three surround channels from the two in the original recording. This is achieved by using three different surround signals, surround left, surround right, and surround back, each driving its own array of speakers. Think of it as adding a center channel for the rear speakers, which give more diffuse and natural surround effect, even if you wanted the ability to completely encircle the audience with sound, positioning sound effects exactly where they would be heard in real life. For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX which contain a digital flag that will automatically activate this feature. However, for titles released prior to late 2001, this feature has to be activated manually. Although Dolby Digital soundtracks incorporate a separate low frequency channel, connecting a subwoofer will also improve deep bass performance in the other surround modes. The indication "LFE" appears in the display when a signal is being input for this channel. DTS The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVD software. DTS is a strictly digital format and cannot be decoded inside most CD, LD or DVD players. For this reason, if you attempt to listen to DTS encoded software through the analog output of your new CD, LD or DVD player, you will experience digital noise in most cases. This noise can be quite loud if the analog output is connected directly to a high power amplification system. Proper measures for playing the digital output as described below should be taken to avoid this situation. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an external 5. 1 channel DTS Digital Surround decoder system or an amplifier with a built-in DTS Digital Surround decoder must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU or TosLink) of a CD, LD or DVD player.
