Dolby Digital (AC-3)
The
Dolby
Digital
(AC-3)
surround
format
lets
you
enjoy
up
to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from Dolby digital
(AC-3) program sources (such as Laserdisc software marked
DX] [casy snore) ) Compared with previous Dolby surround,
Dolby Digital (AC-3) provides even better sound quality,
greater
spatial
accuracy,
and
improved
dynamic
range.
Some Dolby Digital (AC-3) programs carry information that
lets you compress the dynamic range of the sound track,
without degrading the sound quality, for softer sound
effects when you listen late at night ("Midnight mode").
