DPL = Dolby ProLogic (Surround) =
Two discrete channels multiplexed in your decoder (receiver etc.)
into center and rear channels (both rear channels have the same output)
basic surround feeling.DD = AC-3 = Dolby Digital =
Five discrete channels - 3 fronts, 2 rears and discrete sub-woofer
high compression ratio utilized to put all channel on media. DTS = Digital Theater Surround =
Similar to DD but lower compression ratio, thus supposed to sound
better.
Today, DD is the minimal recommended entry point when purchasing HT
and DTS is very common too. DPL is supported by all DD/DTS decoders.
Hope this helps, -Avi.
