• Dolby Digital Plus: An enhanced version of Dolby Digital that offers higher surround sound audio quality and supports up to 7.1 channels.

• Dolby Digital: Delivers up to 5.1 discrete channels. This adds realism and depth to the surround sound experience for sporting events, dramatic movies, and other types of programming.

• Pulse-Code Modulation (PCM) stereo: PCM is a method of encoding used for uncompressed digital audio and a multi-channel version that can also support 7.1 channels. “Stereo” refers to a 2-channel digital audio track.

Note: If Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital, or PCM stereo is selected, your media equipment (TV, A/V receiver, or soundbar) should also support this format to avoid audio or visual issues.
