DTS
The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and
DVD software. DTS is a strictly digital format and cannot be
decoded inside most CD, LD or DVD players. For this reason, if you
attempt to listen to DTS encoded software through the analog
output of your new CD, LD or DVD player, you will experience
digital noise in most cases. This noise can be quite loud if the
analog output is connected directly to a high power amplification
system. Proper measures for playing the digital output as de-
scribed below should be taken to avoid this situation. To enjoy DTS
Digital Surround playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital
Surround decoder system or an amplifier with a built-in DTS Digital
Surround decoder must be connected to the digital output (S/P
DIF, AES/EBU or TosLink) of a CD, LD or DVD player.
All models are incorporated with the DTS decoder.
DTS-ES
DTS-ES (Digital Theater System-Extended Surround) presents 6.1
channels surround system with additional Surround Back channel
which evolved from the conventional 5.1 channels surround
system. DTS-ES format that was recorded in DVD, CD or LD
comprises of two modes. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 produces the
discrete surround back which is completely independent and DTS-
ES Matrix 6.1 produces the surround back which synthesised
within the left and right surround channels using matrix technol-
ogy. DTS-ES has perfect compatibility with the conventional 5.1
channels surround system. 6.1 channels surround with an addi-
tional surround back presents a more natural presence and sur-
round effects by increasing the impression of the sound image
from back. Programs which are recorded using DTS-ES technol-
ogy consist of information flags which will be able to control the
Discrete and Matrix mode. Thus, it can automatically select the
best matched mode.
Neo:6
Neo:6 is a new technology which was developed by DTS. It can
produce high grade 6 channels surround with an astonishing
fidelity from 2 channels content. Neo:6 has 2 modes, "Cinema"
mode is for movie playback and "Music" mode is for music
playback.
DTS 96/24
DTS 96/24 made it possible to achieve a wide frequency range of
over 40 kHz by increasing the sampling frequency to 96 or 88.2
kHz. Moreover, DTS 96/24's ability of 24 bit resolution offers the
same frequency band and dynamic range as 96 kHz/24 bit PCM.
DTS 96/24 is, as with conventional DTS Surround, compatible with
multi-channels. Therefore, sources recorded using DTS 96/24
technologies can be played in high sampling frequency, multi-
channel audio with ordinary DVDs and CDs.
DTS has a ".1" or "LFE" channel.
The indication "LFE" appears in the display when a signal is being
input for this channel.

DSP mode
The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hall
to almost any type of program source. The way a sound is heard
in an actual environment depends on a variety of different factors.
One of the most important is reverberation (the act of decaying
elements of sound echoing in various places). The DSP modes
produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to create
reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the original
signal. These modes are particularly effective when used with
stereo program sources, like CD, television, and FM radio. You
might enjoy trying the Arena, Jazz Club, Theater, Stadium or Disco
mode the next time you watch a concert or sporting event!
DVD 6-channel mode
Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output
channels and this model, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded
DVD source material in all its splendor. Since the source signals
are digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting
sound quality, sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range are
superb.
