The Ultimate Home Theater Audio Experience

The Leading Edge in HD Sound Quality

While high-definition (HD) video has been around for some time, it has taken longer for HD audio formats to catch up. From the beginning, HD delivered a great picture. But due to the bandwidth constraints of entertainment media, the sound simply couldn’t match that same level of quality.

All that changed with the advent of HD disc formats like Blu-ray. These HD formats unlocked the full potential of HD by providing increased data capacity, finally making it possible to have audio every bit as spectacular as the HD video.

Still, sound technology never fulfilled that promise—until now. Dolby® TrueHD leverages the benefits of HD discs. It delivers 100 percent lossless audio—that is, audio bit-for-bit identical to the original studio master soundtrack, with none of the compromises in quality normally associated with compressed audio. At last, you can enjoy HD surround sound that’s every bit as good as your HD picture. Now, get ready for an unprecedented home theater experience.

One Cable Does It All

Say good-bye to confusing and cluttered cables. With Dolby TrueHD, a single HDMI™ 1.3 or later cable is all you need for your audio and video connection.

Manufacturers worldwide are building Dolby TrueHD into Blu-ray Disc™ players, A/V receivers, and home-theater-in-a-box systems. Some Blu-ray Disc players, meanwhile, feature Dolby TrueHD Digital Out. When connected to A/V receivers that include Dolby TrueHD technology, these Blu-ray players are capable of delivering the impressive benefits of Dolby TrueHD, such as 100 percent lossless audio and support for up to 7.1 channels of surround sound.

Look for the Dolby TrueHD or Dolby TrueHD Digital Out logo when shopping for your next piece of home theater gear. Then get ready for some incredible audio.
