    It decodes digital information.

    "Decoder DDTS-100 is capable of decoding up to 6.1-channel audio to deliver a superior digital surround sound movie experience."

    Digital audio is often made with special 'codes' -hence encoding- that are specific instrucions on which sounds are to come out of which speakers.

    a Digital Audo decoder such as the one mentioned above, analyzes this code and sends the proper signal to the specified speaker, resulting in "True" surround sound.

    if there is no Digital Decoder present, all of the speakers will play the same sound, leaving you with quadrophonic or multiple-stereo sound--which is not truly surround sound.

    lmao @ decodes digital info:p

    maybe I'm wrong but the only point I can see to getting it is if you wanted more than one audio output device into one reciever/amp ... but you could do that for a lot less with a simple switch box ... another use would be for emulating 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound if you have a stereo only audio device ... IMO skip it, seems a waste of money to me
