better than in the previous Dolby
Surround. A Dolby Digital audio input can

The Digital Theatre System Digital
Surround (simply called DTS) is a
multichannel digital signal format that can
process higher data rates than with Dolby
Digital. Although both Dolby Digital and
DTS are 5.1 channel media formats, discs
bearing the "DTS" symbol are thought to
provide better sound quality due to the
lower audio compression required. It also
offers a broader dynamic, producing
magnifi cent sound quality.
A DTS input can be defaulted to one of
the following options: [DTS+NEO:6
Music], [Neo:6 Cinema], [Neo:6 Music],
[Stereo Downmix] or [None].
