Immerse Yourself in Next-Generation Surround Sound

Next-Generation Audio Has Arrived

Dolby® Digital Plus is a next-generation audio technology that offers movie and music producers more channels, less compression, and higher data rates. What that means for you is a chance to experience exceptional high-definition (HD) surround sound while being able to take advantage of all the incredible advances that today’s new media offer.

By delivering up to 7.1 channels of engaging surround sound, Dolby Digital Plus assures you a more compelling entertainment experience from Blu-ray Disc™ players, HD broadcasts, and online HD media. It’s like having a seat in the control room right alongside the producer or director—amazing audio and incredible detail.

Go Interactive with Blu-ray Disc

Dolby Digital Plus also lets you take advantage of all the exciting interactive features that Blu-ray Discs bring to your entertainment experience. Whether it’s delving into a director’s commentary, downloading a variety of up-to-date content, or choosing a soundtrack in another language, you can access and enjoy every minute of the bonus content found on these discs. If you want to get the most from the Blu-ray format, you’ll want Dolby Digital Plus.
