shown below.

Uncompressed digital audio, the same format
used on
CDs and most studio masters.
DVD VIDEO supports 2 channels at sampling rates of
48/96 kHz and quantization of 16/20/24 bits.
Audio CD/Video CD is limited to 2 channels, 44.1 kHz
at 16 bits.
Dolby Digital
A surround
audio format
configured
with six
channels.
Because the "LFE (Low-Frequency
Effect for
sub-woofer,
etc.)" channel, one of the six channels,
is
an auxiliary
channel, this format
is called "5.1-channel
system".
Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channel
information.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
A surround
audio format
configured
with six (5.1)
channels which is same as Dolby Digital.
Because the
compression
ratio is lower than Dolby Digital, it
provides wider dynamic
range and better separation.
Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channel
information.
The associated
indicator
lights up in the display window
when playing
back a disc.
