Dolby Digital

Laboratories for digital audio multichannel signals.The Dolby Digital
system supports any audio channel configuration, from stereo sound
(2 channels) up to the digital “surround” sound 5.1.

- or with DVD films whose sound has been recorded through Dolby Digital
5.1 channels.
In both cases, your Pro Logic decoder must be connected to the 2- channel
analog output of your TV/DVD set (see page 24 cinch audio outputs).

PCM
The linear PCM is a signal recording format used for CDs.
CDs are recorded in 44.1kHz /16bits.
DVDs are recorded in 48kHz / 16 bits, or even up to 96kHz / 24 bits.
