Available Surround Sound Formats - Medion MD 83533 Bedienungsanleitung

MPEG4
MPEG4 is a compression technology for multimedia/video data ("MPEG" = "Moving Picture Experts
Group").

Available surround sound formats

The unit recognises two different surround sound formats.
Dolby Digital 5.1
In Dolby Digital sound format the audio material is saved digitally. In this instance, up
to five separate full-frequency audio channels (front left and front right, centre, rear left
and rear right) as well as an effect or depth channel (5.1) are stored separately. Discs
and media recorded in the Dolby Digital format are marked with the trademarks shown here.
Because each channel is completely independent, a realistic, almost "three-dimensional" effect is pro-
duced, creating the impression of distance, movement, and relative position in the room.
Your unit can read and decode this audio data and outputs to the 5.1 outputs. On the other hand the
original signal can be sent to an external decoder/amplifier via the digital outputs.
dts (Digital Theatre Systems)
The dts abbreviation is used for a less frequently used sound format in which up to 6 (5.1)
separate channels are saved to a sound medium. Discs and media recorded in the dts for-
mat are marked with the trademarks shown here.
Your unit can read this audio data and sends it to the digital outputs ("DIGITAL OUT") for decoding.
