Dolby TrueHD
1131 831 531
Dolby TrueHD delivers sound that is on par with
the original soundtrack, letting you experience
the world of true high-definition entertainment from Blu-ray
Discs. With lossless encoding in up to 18 Mbps bit rate, Dolby
TrueHD creates a synergy with high-definition video to offer you
a home cinema experience like never before.
Loudness Management
1131 831
Dolby TrueHD Loudness Management frees you from
annoying volume fluctuations that often occur when
switching channels, programmes, or input sources, by
maintaining a consistent loudness-level. The function turns
on/off during content playback, activating or deactivating
post processing within the decoder. When the function is
turned off, audio is delivered in a lossless mode.
DTS-HD Master Audio/DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
1131 831 531
With DTS-HD Master Audio, you can
enjoy sound that is bit-for-bit identical
to the studio master, at 192 kHz/24-bit for 5.1 channels and 96
kHz/24-bit for 7.1 channels. DTS-HD Master Audio delivers audio
at extremely high variable bit rates of 24.5 Mbps, which far
exceeds standard DVDs. DTS-HD Master Audio offers movies
and music in the pure, original state as intended by the artists.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio can deliver up to 7.1 channels of
96 kHz/24-bit high-resolution sound. The rich audio is virtually
equivalent to the original movie sound, yet less disc space is
required than for DTS-HD Master Audio.
