Technology Overview
DTS Digital Surround
DTS Digital Surround is a discrete 5.1-channel digital audio format that delivers five discrete full-range channels
(Left, Center, Right, Left Surround and Right Surround) plus a separate Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel.
DTS-ES Extended Surround
DTS-ES is the only digital audio format capable of delivering 6.1 channels of discrete audio in the consumer
electronics market.
DTS Neo:6
DTS Neo:6 provides up to six channels of matrix decoding from stereo or 5.1 material.
Cinema mode
The Cinema mode is used with stereo television for movie soundtracks. The result is improved dialogue and
surround presence. This mode also upmixes a DTS 5.1 input to create a 6.1-channel soundfield.
Music mode
The Music mode is used with any stereo music recording and provides a wider listening space.
Note:For a 6.1-channel soundfield, the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION switch must be set to 6.1/7.1.
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital (also referred to as AC-3) delivers five discrete full-range channels (Left, Center, Right, Left Surround
and Right Surround) plus a separate LFE channel.
Dolby Digital EX
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 movie soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an
advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without
adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.
Movie mode
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is
enhanced soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.
Music Mode
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space.
