The DTS technologies are explained below. See 
www.dtstech.com for more detailed information.
DTS Digital Surround
DTS Digital Surround is a 5.1-channel audio coding 
system from DTS Inc. now widely used for DVD-Video, 
DVD-Audio, 5.1 music discs, digital broadcasts, and 
video games. It can deliver up to six discrete audio 
channels, comprising five full range channels, including 
an LFE channel. Higher sound quality is achieved 
through the use of a low compression rate, and high 
rates of transmittance during playback.
DTS-ES
DTS-ES (the ES stands for Extended Surround) is a 
decoder that is capable of decoding both DTS-ES 
Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 encoded sources. 
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 gives ‘true’ 6.1 channel sound, with 
a completely separate (discrete) surround back channel. 
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 has a surround back channel matrixed 
into the surround left/right channels. Both sources are 
also compatible with a conventional DTS 5.1 channel 
decoder.
DTS Neo:6
DTS Neo:6 can generate 7.1 channel surround sound 
from any matrixed stereo source (such as video or TV) 
and from 5.1 channel sources. It uses both the channel 
information already encoded into the source, as well as 
its own processing to determine channel localization 
(with two channel sources, the “.1” subwoofer channel is 
generated by bass management in the receiver). Two 
modes (Cinema and Music) are available using DTS 
Neo:6 with two channel sources.
DTS 96/24
DTS 96/24 is an extension of the original DTS Digital 
Surround which offers high quality 96 kHz/24-bit audio 
using a DTS 96/24 decoder. This format is also fully 
backward compatible with all existing decoders. This 
means that DVD players can play this software using a 
conventional DTS 5.1 channel decoder.
DTS-EXPRESS
DTS-EXPRESS is a low-bitrate encoding technology 
supporting up to 5.1 channels with fixed data transfer 
rates. This format is incorporated with sub audio on HD 
DVD and secondary audio on Blu-ray Disc while boasting 
the potential applicability to upcoming broadcasts and 
memory audio contents.
DTS-HD Master Audio
DTS-HD Master Audio is a technology that delivers master 
audio sources recorded in a professional studio to listeners 
without any loss of data, preserving audio quality. DTS-HD 
Master Audio adopts variable data transfer rates, 
facilitating data transfer to the maximum rate of 24.5 Mbps 
in the Blu-ray disc format, 18.0 Mbps in the HD-DVD 
format, which by far exceeds that of a standard DVD. These 
high data transfer rates enable lossless transmission of 96 
kHz/24-bit 7.1-channel audio sources without deteriorating 
the quality of the original sound. DTS-HD Master Audio is 
an irreplaceable technology that can reproduce sound 
faithfully as intended by the creator of music or movies.
