About Dolby Digital
The escXcite features Dolby Digi-
tal multichannel signal process-
ing, a system developed by
Dolby Laboratories.
Dolby Digital, unlike “matrixed”
systems (such as Dolby Pro
Logic) that derive multichannel
sound from a two-channel
source, is capable of delivering
information for one subwoofer
and five full-range channels as
discrete and individual channels
in digital AC-3 data format from
sources such as a DVD player.
The result is clear and accurate
digital sound to each speaker,
along with availability of stereo-
surround effects (Dolby Pro
Logic features mono surrounds).
Dolby Digital is capable of deliv-
ering several different formats
of surround sound, the most
robust one being the 5.1-chan-
nel mode, which provides sepa-
rate signals for five satellite
speakers as well as for a sub-
woofer. The escXcite features a
“5.1-Ch” indicator that illumi-
nates when a Dolby Digital 5.1-
channel encoded signal is pre-
sent. Dolby Digital can also pro-
vide other AC-3 digital multi-
channel signals, as well as 2-
channel signals, which can be
decoded via Dolby Pro Logic
processing into multichannel
surround sound.
About DTS
DIGITAL SURROUND
THE FINEST 5 .1 SURROUND
SOUND TECHNOLOGY ON THE
MARKET TODAY!
An amazing new technology for
surround-sound entertainment,
DTS Digital Surround is an
encode/decode system that
delivers six channels (5.1) of
master-quality, 20-bit audio.
In the encoding process, the
DTS algorithm encrypts six
channels of 20-bit digital audio
imformation in the space
previously allotted for only two
channels of 16-bit linear PCM.
Then during playback, the DTS
decoder reconstructs the
original six channels of 20-bit
digital audio.
Each of these six channels is
audibly superior to the 16-bit
linear PCM audio found on con-
ventional compact discs.
• Wall-mount brackets.
• Floor stands available sepa-
rately for the satellites.
• Credit-card-type, full-
function remote control.
• JBL “error-free” speaker
cables simplify connection
and eliminate possibility of
out-of-phase wiring.
• Center foot for horizontal
placement of the center
channel.
