DTS
The DTS digital surround-sound format sup-
ports up to 5.1 discrete channels and uses less
compression for high-fidelity reproduction.
Use it with DVDs and CDs that bear the DTS
logo.

sampling rate and 24-bit resolution, providing
superior fidelity. Use it with DVDs that bear
the DTS 96/24 logo.
DTS-ES Discrete
This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete
soundtracks, that use a discrete surround back
channel for true 6.1/7.1-channel playback.
The seven totally separate audio channels
provide better spatial imaging and 360-degree

pan across the surround channels. Use it with
DVDs that bear the DTS-ES logo, especially
those with a DTS-ES Discrete soundtrack.

with DVDs that bear the DTS-ES logo, espe-
cially those with a DTS-ES Matrix
soundtrack.
DTS Neo:6
This mode expands any 2-channel source for

ence that fully envelops the listener.
