Dolby Digital
Digital multi-channel audio standard developed by Dolby 
Laboratories. It supports transmission and recording of high-
quality digital audio signals from monaural up to 5.1 channels 
using an amount of data that is a fraction of the PCM audio 
format. The main features of Dolby Digital include:
•  Downmixing optimized for monaural, stereo and Pro Logic 
configurations as well as for playback of 6.1-channel audio.
•  Transfer of information related to the dynamic range and the 
conversation level adjustment.
• Wide range of operating bit rates.
Dolby Digital EX/Dolby EX
These extensions of Dolby Digital add the surround back channel 
to the Dolby Digital channels to deliver a surround effect with 
enhanced presence and listener envelopment.
Dolby Pro Logic II
This is a matrix decoding technology developed by Dolby 
Laboratories. It generates 5-channel surround audio with 
rich feeling of presence from any stereo source, delivering an 
excellent multidimensional sound field effect even from an 
ordinary stereo music content including CD music. It offers three 
modes including the Movie mode optimized for movie playback, 
the Music mode for music playback and the Game mode for 
game play.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Matrix decoding technology developed by improving Dolby 
Pro Logic II. It accepts any stereo or 5.1-channel audio input 
and generates 7.1-channel surround audio with a more natural, 
smoother surround sound field. It also offers three modes 
optimized for each source content, including the Movie mode 
for movie playback, the Music mode for music playback and the 
Game mode for game play.
Dolby Digital Plus
This is an audio technology developed based on Dolby Digital by 
improving both the sound quality and functions. It delivers multi-
channel surround audio with completely discrete channels. The 
compatible bit rates have been expanded to between 32 kbps 
and 6 Mbps from between 96 and 640 kbps with Dolby Digital.
The excellent coding efficiency makes this technology capable 
of delivering quality audio in max. 7.1 channels without 
affecting the bit rates assigned for the video and other services. 
Compatibility with existing home theater systems incorporating 
the Dolby Digital technology is also secured.
Dolby True HD
This loss-less (reversible) audio technology has been developed 
by Dolby Laboratories and reproduces high-quality studio-
mastered audio data perfectly with bit-order accuracy. It is 
compatible with up to 7.1 channels when the sampling frequency 
is 95 kHz and up to 5.1 channels when the sampling frequency is 
192 kHz.
Dolby Headphone
This stereo audio technology has been developed by Dolby 
Laboratories and Lake DSP (presently Dolby Australia) and 
features reproduction of surround audio through stereo 
headphones.
Dolby Virtual Speaker
This is a speaker virtual technology that can generate an ideal 5.1-
channel home theater environment using only a pair of speakers.
DTS Digital Surround
Digital surround format developed by DTS Corporation. It 
features low compression rate and high sound quality, and is 
capable of reproducing max. 5.1 channels.
DTS-ES
This is a 6.1-channel audio technology developed by adding the 
surround back channel to DTS Digital Surround.
The signal of this format can also be played on existing DTS 5.1-
channeel components. DTS-ES consists of two types, which are 
DTS ES Matrix and DTS-ES Discrete 6.1.
DTS-ES Matrix
With this format, the audio for the surround back channel added 
to the DTS 5.1-channel audio is allocated to the two surround 
channels during recording. When the signal is decoded, the audio 
for the surround back channel is restored from the surround 
channels to deliver the 6.1-channel audio.
DTS-ES Discrete
With this format, the audio for the surround back channel added 
to the DTS 5.1-channel audio is recorded in an independent 
channel.
DTS Neo:6
This is a matrix decoding technology developed by DTS 
Corporation, capable of delivering max. 6.1 channels from any 
2-channel source. It includes two modes, including the DTS Neo 6 
CINEMA mode optimized for movie playback and the DTS Neo 6 
MUSIC mode optimized for music playback.
DTS 96/24
5.1-channel digital audio format developed as an evolution of the 
DTS 5.1-channel format. It enables high-quality playback with 96 
kHz sampling frequency and 24-bit quantization (the signal of 
this format can also be reproduced on existing DTS 5.1-channel 
player components).
