Some players provide PCM audio and multichannel audio signals on separate<br />

connectors; others provide dual-purpose connectors that must be<br />

switched between PCM and multichannel output. A standard extension to<br />

IEC 958, designed by Dolby and described in ATSC A/52, is used for Dolby<br />

Digital audio signals. This extension, with additions from Philips and others,<br />

is being formalized as IEC 1937.
