A
This is mono (monophonic) sound.
S
This is stereo (stereophonic) sound. Two independent audio signal channels are reproduced through two speakers.
D
This is 5.1-channel surround sound. This surround system has five main channels of sound and a sixth subwoofer
channel (called the point-one channel).
F
This is 7.1-channel surround sound. This is a further sound enhancement to 5.1 channel sound with two additional
speakers that provide greater sound envelopment and more accurate positioning of sounds.
G
This is DTS-ES surround sound. This surround system can produce a discrete or a matrix-encoded sixth channel from
existing DTS 5.1 encoded material.
H
This is Dolby Digital EX surround sound. This provides a center back surround channel from 5.1-channel sources.
