For the past few years, Dolby Laboratories had revamped the AC-2 single channel coding technology the next level of sound technology.  Then came AC-3, a derivative of the AC-2 but multichannel music compression technology.  AC-3 is widely known for its high-quality, low-complexity multichannel audio coder that encodes a multiplicity of channels as a single entity, thereby, enabling it to operate at lower data rates (bit rates) for a given level of audio quality than an ensemble of equivalent single channel coders. It is fundamentally an adaptive transform-based coder that uses a filterbank-based coding giving its greatest advantage to realistic, acoustic sounds pleasing to the human ears.

AC-3 has been used in producing Dolby Digital film soundtracks throughout film and recording studios worldwide.  It is being installed in nearly every theaters worldwide and it is now ready to be installed right in your living room.  Now you can enjoy high quality sounds right from your own home with the K-560 Home Theater System.
