About Dolby Digital

The escXcite features Dolby Digi-
tal multichannel signal process-
ing, a system developed by
Dolby Laboratories.

Dolby Digital, unlike “matrixed”
systems (such as Dolby Pro
Logic) that derive multichannel
sound from a two-channel
source, is capable of delivering
information for one subwoofer
and five full-range channels as
discrete and individual channels
in digital AC-3 data format from
sources such as a DVD player.
The result is clear and accurate

digital sound to each speaker,
along with availability of stereo-
surround effects (Dolby Pro
Logic features mono surrounds).

Dolby Digital is capable of deliv-
ering several different formats
of surround sound, the most
robust one being the 5.1-chan-
nel mode, which provides sepa-
rate signals for five satellite
speakers as well as for a sub-
woofer. The escXcite features a
“5.1-Ch” indicator that illumi-
nates when a Dolby Digital 5.1-
channel encoded signal is pre-

sent. Dolby Digital can also pro-
vide other AC-3 digital multi-
channel signals, as well as 2-
channel signals, which can be
decoded via Dolby Pro Logic
processing into multichannel
surround sound. 

About DTS

DIGITAL SURROUND

THE FINEST 5 .1 SURROUND
SOUND TECHNOLOGY ON THE
MARKET TODAY!
An amazing new technology for
surround-sound entertainment,
DTS Digital Surround is an
encode/decode system that
delivers six channels (5.1) of
master-quality, 20-bit audio. 

In the encoding process, the
DTS algorithm encrypts six
channels of 20-bit digital audio
imformation in the space 
previously allotted for only two
channels of 16-bit linear PCM.
Then during playback, the DTS
decoder reconstructs the 
original six channels of 20-bit
digital audio. 

Each of these six channels is
audibly superior to the 16-bit
linear PCM audio found on con-
ventional compact discs.

• Wall-mount brackets. 
• Floor stands available sepa-

rately for the satellites.

• Credit-card-type, full-

function remote control.

• JBL “error-free” speaker

cables simplify connection 
and eliminate possibility of
out-of-phase wiring.

• Center foot for horizontal

placement of the center 
channel.
