DTS Neo: 6TM surround www. gateway. com 47 Chapter 3: Using the Receiver Mode Dolby DigitalTM Description Dolby Digital discs support recordings of up to 5. 1 channels of digital signals, which reproduce much better sound quality, spatial expansion, and dynamic range characteristics than the previous Dolby Surround effects. This mode uses a matrix decoder to create the back (sometimes referred to as surround center) signal from the surround left and right signals in a Dolby Digital 5. 1 channel source and provides 6. 1 channel surround playback. For the best results, this mode should be selected during playback of sources recorded in Dolby Digital Surround EX. When Dolby Digital EX sources are decoded with a Dolby Digital EX decoder, the format is automatically detected and Dolby Digital EX mode is selected. However, some Dolby Digital EX sources may be detected as Dolby Digital sources. In this case, the Dolby Digital EX mode should be selected manually. Dolby Digital EXTM Dolby Pro LogicTM Dolby Pro Logic is a specially encoded two-channel surround format which consists of four channels (front left, center, front right, and surround). The surround channel is monaural and is played through both surround speakers. This mode applies conventional two-channel signals such as digital PCM or analog stereo signals as well as Dolby Surround signals to surround processing. Dolby Pro Logic II surround includes Dolby Pro Logic II Cinema, Dolby Pro Logic II Music, and Dolby Virtual signal formats. Though the number of audio channels is 5. 1 (which is the same as Dolby Digital), MPEG Multichannel discs are much better at matching individual sounds to the correct position in the sound stage. MPEG Multichannel works well when using the 7 CH DIRECT INPUTs to playback the sound from an additional multichannel decoder. For details, see to the user's guide for your connected 7-channel component.
