Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a multichannel digital signal format developed by Dolby 
Laboratories.
A total of 5.1-channels are played: 3 front channels (“FL” , “FR” and 
“C”), 2 surround channels (“SL” and “SR”) and the “LFE” channel for 
low frequencies.
Because of this, there is no crosstalk between channels and a realistic 
sound  field  with  a  “three-dimensional”  feeling  (sense  of  distance, 
movement and positioning) is achieved.
A  real,  overpowering  sense  of  presence  is  achieved  when  playing 
movie sources in AV rooms as well.

Surround

Dolby Surround

The AVR-2309 is equipped with a digital signal processing circuit that 
lets you play program sources in the surround mode to achieve the 
same sense of presence as in a movie theater.

Dolby Pro Logic 

g

Dolby Pro Logic 

g

 is a matrix decoding technology developed by Dolby 

Laboratories.
Regular  music  such  as  that  on  CDs  is  encoded  into  5-channels  to 
achieve an excellent surround effect.
The surround channel signals are converted into stereo and full band 
signals (with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) to 
create  a  “three-dimensional”  sound  image  offering  a  rich  sense  of 
presence for all stereo sources.

Dolby Pro Logic 

g

x

Dolby  Pro  Logic 

g

x  is  a  further  improved  version  of  the  Dolby  Pro 

Logic 

g

 matrix decoding technology.

Audio signals recorded in 2-channels are decoded to achieve a natural 
sound with up to 7.1-channels.
There  are  3  modes:  “Music”  suited  for  playing  music,  “Cinema” 
suited for playing movies, and “Game” which is optimized for playing 
games.

Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories.
“Dolby”, “Pro Logic” and the double-D symbol are trademarks 
of Dolby Laboratories.
