DTS
Digital audio compression technology that the
Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This
technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround.
The rear channel is stereo and there is discrete
sub woofer channel in this format. DTS
provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high
quality digital audio. The good channel
separation is realized because the all channel
data is recorded discrete and processed in
digital.
DVD
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving
pictures even though its diameter is the same as
a CD.
The data capacity of a single-layer and single-
sided DVD, at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times
that of a CD. Furthermore, the data capacity of
a dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a
single-layer and double-sided DVD 9.4 GB,
and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one
of the worldwide standards for digital
compression technology. The picture data is
compressed to about 1/40 of its original size.
The DVD also uses variable rate coding
technology that changes the data to be allocated
according to the status of the picture.
The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as
well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy more
real audio presence. Furthermore, various
advanced functions such as the multi-angle,
multilingual, and Parental Control functions are
provided with the DVD.
