DESCRIPTION
DTS was introduced in 1994 to provide 5.1 channels of discrete digital
audio into home theater systems.
DTS brings you premium quality discrete multi-channel digital sound
to both movies and music.
DTS is a multi-channel sound system designed to create full range
digital sound reproduction.
The no compromise DTS digital process sets the standard of quality
for cinema sound by delivering an exact copy
of the studio master recordings to neighborhood and home theaters.
Now, every moviegoer can hear the sound exactly as the moviemaker
intended.
DTS can be enjoyed in the home for either movies or music on of
DVD’s, LD’s, and CD’s.

DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new multi-channel digital signal
format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc. While offering high
compatibility with the conventional DTS Digital Surround format, DTS-
ES Extended Surround greatly improves the 360-degree surround
impression and space expression thanks to further expanded
surround signals. This format has been used professionally in movie
theaters since 1999.
In addition to the 5.1 surround channels (FL, FR, C, SL, SR and LFE),
DTS-ES Extended Surround also offers the SC (Surround Center)
channel for surround playback with a total of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES
Extended Surround includes two signal formats with different
surround signal recording methods, as DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-
ES Matrix 6.1.

Dolby Digital identifies the use of Dolby Digital (AC-3) audio coding for
such consumer formats as DVD and DTV. As with film sound, Dolby
Digital can provide up to five full-range channels for left, center, and
right screen channels, independent left and right surround channels,
and a sixth ( ".1") channel for low-frequency effects.
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II is an improved matrix decoding
technology that provides better spatiality and directionality on Dolby
Surround program material; provides a convincing three-dimensional
soundfield on conventional stereo music recordings; and is ideally
suited to bring the surround experience to automotive sound. While
conventional surround programming is fully compatible with Dolby
Surround Pro Logic II decoders, soundtracks will be able to be
encoded specifically to take full advantage of Pro Logic II playback,
including separate left and right surround channels. (Such material is
also compatible with conventional Pro Logic decoders.)
Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 5.1-
channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives
three surround channels from the two in the original recording. For
best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movies soundtracks
recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX.

Circle Surround II (CS-II) is a powerful and versatile multi-channel
technology. CS-II is designed to enable up to 6.1 multi-channel
surround sound playback from mono, stereo, CS encoded sources
and other matrix encoded sources. In all cases the decoder extends it
into 6 channels of surround audio and a LFE/subwoofer signal. The
CS-II decoder creates a listening environment that places the listener
“inside” music performances and dramatically improves both hi-fi
audio conventional surround-encoded video material. CS-II provides
composite stereo rear channels to greatly improve separation and
image positioning – adding a heightened sense of realism to both
audio and A/V productions.
CS-II is packed with other useful feature like dialog clarity (SRS Dialog)
for movies and cinema-like bass enrichment (TruBass). CS-II can
enable the dialog to become clearer and more discernable in movies
and it enables the bass frequencies contained in the original
programming to more closely achieve low frequencies – overcoming the
low frequency limitations of the speakers by full octave.
