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.
 
DTS 96/24
 
This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. 
This is high-resolution DTS with a 96 kHz 
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.
 
DTS-ES Matrix

soundtracks, that use a matrix-encoded back-

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 
7.1-channel playback. It uses seven full-band-
width channels of matrix decoding for 
matrix-encoded material, providing a very 
natural and seamless surround sound experi-
ence that fully envelops the listener.

(e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).
 
Neo:6 Music
 
Use this mode with any stereo music 
source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette, TV,
