Therefore, it is called 5.1 channel).Dolby Digital enables stereo surround sounds, and sets the cutofffrequency of the surround treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz forDolby Pro Logic. As such, the sound movement and “being-there”feeling are enhanced much more than Dolby Pro Logic.• To enjoy software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the sourcecomponent using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver.(See page 7.)NOTEDolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two categories—multi-channel (up to 5.1 channel) and 2 channel software.
