You might have heard of Dolby Audio™ when it comes to digital devices, but what exactly is it about? How you can make such technology benefited from your TV viewing experience? This article is right here to answer you.

What is Dolby Audio™?

Dolby Audio™ technology is founded by Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation and being built into a wide range of digital products, all you can find in TV, speaker, mobile, headset etc. It allows you to experience the best audio quality from the content you are enjoying, whether you are listening to a broadcast, streaming a movie or playing games, they are completely delivered in an amusing, crystal clear and powerful sound.

The key to Dolby Audio processing is metadata — data about the data. Dolby Audio metadata contains wide-ranging information about the audio signal. Created when the original audio is encoded, metadata accompanies the program from audio capture to the cinema, and through broadcast or online streaming or on a Blu-ray Disc™ to the device. The metadata instructs the Dolby Audio processor in your TV, smartphone, tablet, PC, set-top box, A/V receiver or Blu-ray™ player on how to decode the signal and how best to convey that signal to provide a better listening experience through volume levelling, dynamic range control, and surround sound.

Dolby Audio™ metadata provides a better listening experience through volume levelling, dynamic range control, and surround sound.

Dolby Audio™ on Smart-Tech TV

To optimize the quality of viewing experience for our users, all Smart-Tech TVs adapt Dolby Audio™ technology. You can switch between “Auto”, “Bypass”, “PCM”, “Dolby Digital Plus” and “Dolby Digital” in the setting.

Dolby Digital Plus™ creates you a home theatre surround sound experience. Based on both psychoacoustic and cognitive models of audio perception, Dolby Digital Plus delivers HD-quality audio for streaming, on-demand, and downloaded content by using advanced algorithms. The technology contains up to 7.1 discrete channels of high-fidelity surround sound which provides consistent cinema-style audio across your content that designed for evolving media, to connect you and with the characters of your favourite shows, movies and games much deeper.

Dolby Digital™ uses metadata, which is a set of instructions created during programming production and carried in the Dolby Digital bitstream. Allowing automatically provides a stereo version of the audio tracks so your favourite movies, TV shows, and other entertainment will sound great on Smart-Tech TV. With 5.1 channels of high-quality audio, Dolby Digital places you in the centre of the action. It expands the left and right traditional stereo channels to deliver an enveloping 360 degrees of sound.

*Auto helps to avoid volume fluctuation when changing between channels or sources on the Smart-Tech TV, to prevent a dramatic increase or decrease of audio from the TV Speakers. 

*Bypass allows you to connect a source device to a TV and have the TV pass the source’s surround sound signal through to a receiver or soundbar. It helps to cut down on the number of cables necessary for a surround sound setup, and without much impact on sound quality.

*PCM stands for “pulse-code modulation.” Only change to PCM if you have issues with audio delays or no audio. Having issues with Dolby generally means that your output device has compatibility issues with Dolby.

To enhance your entertainment experience on your Smart-Tech TV, plug in your device to optical cable and adjust on “SPDIF Delay” inside the setting.
