Dolby Headphones

In conventional headphones, sound is directed into the listener’s ears from two sides in order to preserve the stereo effects from the speakers.

The Dolby Headphone, however, generates signals that more closely emulate surround sound from the speakers to give you a more realistic multi-channel sound effect through your headphones.

It supports Dolby Pro Logic, Pro Logic II, and Dolby Digital as well as stereo and multi-channel signals. Dolby Headphone reproduces the sonic experience you receive through your speakers from stereo or multi-channel sources.

It provides three distinct modes:
o DH1: Referred to as Dolby Headphone Reference Room, this mode recreates a small, acoustically dry room, well-suited to both music and movie programs.
o DH2: This mode has an acoustically softer effect than DH1, and is best suited for music recordings.
o DH3: This mode gives a greater sense of distance and sonic dispersion to create a large room such as a concert hall or movie theater.
