This system incorporates several listen modes to let youenjoy surround sound with a wide variety of program sources. Each produces multiple channels of surround-sound, but eachdoes it differently. Dolby Digital : Dolby Digital uses an encode/decode process based on its theatrical digital surround sound technology. The five mainchannels are full-frequency and independent, so sound can completely envelop you or soar anywhere in the room, just like at the movies.(only for XD-DV95 , XD-DV85, XD-DV80 and XD-A950)Compared with Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital has more clarity, greater surround envelopment, and more realistic sound movement betweenchannels. Dolby Pro Logic: Dolby Pro Logic is a decoding process which provides theater-like surround sound from Dolby Surround encoded sources(such as videotape and LaserDisc software that are marked with the Dolby Surround logo). It offers excellent sound movement across thefront of the room and a surround ambiance that seems to immerse you in a movie. Your system is equipped with a Dolby Pro Logic surrounddecoder to let you enjoy the wide variety of currently available Dolby Surround home video software. (only for XD-DV95 , XD-DV85, XD-DV80and XD-A950) Virtual surround: The surround signals output in the Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic modes have usually been set to offer rich feelingof presence when five speakers are used. The Virtual surround function offers a simulated surround effect using only the left and right frontspeakers. DTS : DTS has five full-frequency channels that create effects nearly identical to those in a theater. Sounds seem to zoom from one placeto another or entirely surround you. Like Dolby Digital, DTS has much-improved clarity, surround and sound movement capability comparedwith Dolby Pro Logic. This listen mode is available on DVD media. DTS is a strictly digital format that can be supplied only by a CD, LD, orDVD player that supports DTS sound.
