on the TV you use, you should generally adjust the TV to reduce
sharpness when viewing DVD videos.

The 5.1-channel digital surround format of DOLBY DIGITAL/DTS/
MPEG2* enables you to individually play five full-range (20Hz-20kHz)
channels (left and right front, center, two surround channels) plus an
LFE (Low Frequency Effect) channel for the low-range effect sound. It
will create a realistic sound as heard in theaters and concert halls.

MPEG2*
DVD videos that have the mark are recorded using
this system. MPEG2 may have 8 channels. In this case, left and right
center speakers in addition to the above speaker configuration are
used.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC Surround
This surround format consists of 4 channels (left and right front,
center, and monaural surround channel) and emphasizes the center
channel. This format is very effective for panning music, conversation,
and three-dimensional sound movement output from three front
channels. It also simulates the atmosphere and surround effects of
the sound reflected from the side and rear walls of the theater.
DVD videos that have the mark are recorded using
this system.
