What is the difference between Dolby Digital-ready and full Dolby Digital receivers?
A full-fledged Dolby Digital receiver includes a built-in decoder to process the multichannel signal encoded on many DVD discs and Dolby Digital broadcasts. To most manufacturers, Dolby Digital-ready means that the receiver has 5.1-channel input to accommodate an outboard decoder, but it cannot decode the Dolby Digital without one.
