in 5.1ch mode, however the 5.1ch surround
sound will be converted to 2ch to be output on
your camcorder.
*
Dolby Digital 5.1 Creater compresses sound
effectively while maintaining high quality
sound. It creates Dolby Digital 5.1ch surround
sound by using disc spaces effectively. A disc
created by Dolby Digital 5.1 Creater can be
played back with DVD recorders/DVD players
compatible with your discs. If you have a 5.1ch
surround system, such as a home theater, you
will enjoy more powerful sound.
**
The surround speakers output stereo sound
from 6 channels, that is, 5.1ch from front
speakers (Left/Right/Center) and rear speakers
(Left/Right), and 0.1ch from a sub woofer that
covers the deep bass range under 120Hz. The
sub woofer channel is counted as 0.1 because
of a deep bass. It reproduces 3D sound imaging
providing more exciting and powerful sound
compared with ordinary stereo sound that
produces just left and right sound move.
