Tool. Three audio settings are available.

Personal Video Recorder on page 41). Enabling this option
most often improves DVD playback quality.

The TV page provides settings for the Video Capture Source. If
your system has multiple video decoders, select the one that
Multimedia Center TV should use as its default.

Includes the LFE (subwoofer)
channel in the 2-channel stereo

true LFE data in the Dolby Digital 5.1
sound tracks).
The Multimedia Center supports standard DVD-Video, which provides
stereo and compressed, multi-channel surround sound using Dolby
®
Digital or DTS
®
encoding. DVD-Audio (DV-A) is a separate standard,
which requires a DVD-Audio player.
