Digital audio formats

audio formats.
Linear PCM: Uncompressed digital audio,
the same format used for CDs and most studio
masters.
Dolby Digital *

: Compressed digital audio,
developed by Dolby Laboratories, which
enables multi-channel encode to create the
realistic surround sound.
DTS *

(Digital Theater Systems):
Compressed digital audio, developed by Digital
Theater Systems, Inc., which enables multi-
channel like Dolby Digital. As the compression
ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it provides
wider dynamic range and better separation.

audio which also enables multi-channel encode
to create the realistic surround sound. However,
this System downmix the multi-channel signals
into 2 channels (decoded PCM) and play it
back.

compatibility with ISO 9660 for accessing
any type of files on the disc. (UDF stands for
