Dts - Pioneer VSA-E07 Operating Instruction

DTS

DTS has been adopted as a sound recording format in the latest movie theaters since the release of "JURASSIC
PARK" in 1993, and has a good reputation for high quality sound and dynamic surround effects.
In this system, 6 channels of digital sound are recorded on CD-ROM, rather than on the film. DTS adopts a
simultaneous playback format. With a low rate of compression of sound signals and a high rate of transmittance,
a higher sound quality format is produced. Also, unlike the process of recording digital sounds on film directly,
the only components required are a CD-ROM player as might be used with a personal computer and a DTS
processor, and therefore less investment is required than with other formats. For this reason, the format is
being introduced in more and more movie theaters, and is being adopted in home movie software (DVD, LD)
and music software (5.1 channel CD).
More than 11,000 movie theaters around the world have adopted the DTS format, which is now the most
popular digital format for movie theaters, especially in U.S.A, Europe, and Asia.

Warning about DTS test mode
The VSA-E07 has a mode for PIONEER repairment to test the DTS sound quality. You will never need to access
this mode. Rather you should be careful NOT to put the amplifier in this mode because doing so will erase all
your setup parameters like speaker settings, delay settings, channel settings, etc.
