For your reference
≥
Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed
by Dolby Laboratories.
Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2-
channel) sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound
data to be efficiently recorded on a disc.
≥
DTS Digital Surround is a 5.1-channel surround sound system,
which is widely used in movie theaters around the world. The
separation between channels is good and provides a very real
surround effect.
≥
Linear PCM is an uncompressed digital audio signal. While a CD is
recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, a DVD is recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up
to 96 kHz/24 bit. Therefore, the sound reproduced with these
signals is potentially better than that found on CDs. This player
reproduces linear PCM in two channels.
≥
Bitstream is a compressed digital audio signal. This signal can be
decoded into different channels to produce, for instance, 5.1-
channel surround sound.
≥
The digital audio output terminal (optical) converts electrical signals
into optical signals and transfers them to an amplifier. These optical
signals are immune to electrical interference, and they also have
minimal effect on other equipment.
