The Panorama Sound decoder
"Panorama Sound" achieves a significant improvement of the
stereophonic sound with normal playback of stereo sound (2
channels left/right).
The integrated microcomputer ensures that the sound has depth
and is three-dimensional, even without additional amplifiers and
speakers. Thus the sound becomes "3-D".
Note:
To enjoy video playback with "Panorama Sound", a
stereo video recorder is needed.
The Dolby Virtual Surround Sound Decoder
Dolby Virtual Surround Sound is a special method for recording
sound which was principally developed for cinema film. In order
to use these atmospheric sound effects at home as well, video
tapes, television broadcasts and video discs are also produced
with this technology.
The integrated Dolby Virtual Surround Sound Decoder repro-
duces the Dolby Stereo cinema effect on a conventional home
entertainment system. On playback of the "Dolby Pro Logic Sur-
round Tone", Dolby Virtual Surround Sound achieves a 3-D
sound similar to that of a home theatre system.
Even without additional speakers, the corresponding modifica-
tion of the sound creates an outstanding surround effect. The lis-
tener is surrounded by the sound as if in a concert hall.
When buying video tapes, video discs and CDs, look for the
Dolby logo
. It indicates that all sound and image carri-
ers have recordings in Dolby Pro Logic Surround quality.
VHS video cassettes only marked with the logo do not
contain the necessary Dolby Surround information.

Surround Sound.
