It began with the thrill of surround sound in the cinema, then in the home. Now Dolby Laboratories is bringing new forms of audio entertainment to your car, van, or SUV, like the X5. Dolby's audio system for the automobile provides an enhanced audio (and/or video!) experience for all passengers, not just those in the front seats.

Dolby Headphone lets passengers enjoy full surround sound—without disturbing the driver.

A vehicle provides a great environment for multichannel sound, as many already have multispeaker stereo systems that are easily upgraded for surround playback. Only a surround processor and a center speaker are needed to make it happen: unparalled surround sound can be had from stereo or multichannel sources.

Dolby Headphone provides all the excitement of home theater surround sound over conventional headphones, allowing rear -seat passengers to enjoy their favorite forms of entertainment without disturbing the driver.

Dolby Surround Pro Logic II turns your vehicle into a concert hall on wheels, providing a natural, enveloping sound field that is a vast improvement over conventional stereo. Auto systems with Pro Logic II ensure great imaging for driver and passengers alike, so that any ordinary stereo source-radio, CD, cassette, or MiniDisc-provides an exhilarating surround sound experience.

Dolby Digital, the 5.1-channel surround format experienced in the cinema, and at home from DVD, HDTV, and games, is now available in mobile entertainment systems that turn your vehicle into an awesome cinema or gaming arena in motion.

MLP Lossless, a technology used by the new DVD-Audio format, provides demanding music listeners with the ultimate in high-fidelity, 5.1-channel sound. For mobile sound enthusiasts, DVD-Audio is yet another option for multichannel sound in the car.

You'll experience new levels of clarity, definition, and spatiality from all your favorite programs with in-car entertainment technologies from Dolby
