Using a DVD player or the lrke equrpped wrth SIX (5 I) output channels
and the receiver, you can enjoy multWchannel encoded DVD source
naterlal I" all Its splendor Since the source signals are dtgrtal and
aach channel IS Input Independently, the resulting sound qualrty,
sense of spacrousness, and dynamrc range are superb
' LFE = Low Frequency Effects Thus channel delrvers separate anon-
drrectronal bass srr?gnals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep
bass sound effects
DSP mode
ihe DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a love concert or hall to
almost any type of program source These modes are partrcularly effectrve

XP stands for Drgrtal Srgnal Processor
The way a sound IS heard rn an actual environment depends on a
iarrety of drfferent factors One of the most Important is reverberation
the act of decayrng elements of sound echorng rn varrous places)
The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to
xeate reverberatron, wrthout sporlrng the sound quality of the orrgrnal

DTS-ES
The DTS-ES (Drgrtal Theater System-Extended Surround) represents
6 l-channel Discrete Surround format, expanding upon 5.1 surround
DTS-ES format IS a 6 1 channel sound system for movre theaters that
Includes as additional surround-center channel matrrxed wrthrn
surround-left and surround-right It's compatrble on predecessor DTS
5 1 system The extra channel allows more accurate placement and
steerrng of sound accross the rear soundstage.The DTS-ES recerver
wrll be required, to experience a discrete 6.1.channel mrx.
The DTS-ES decoders used rn home crnema systems have decodrng
optrons for utrlrzrng the extra channel, II- addrtron to processrng
exrstrng 5.1 channel surround sound
DTS-ES Drsctete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrrx 6.1 add the surround back
channel audro to the DTS 5 l-channel format to Improve the acoustrc
posrtronrng and makes acoustrc Image movement more natural with
the 6.1.channel reproductron NE0 6 IS a new technology which
decodes 2-channel signals Into B-channel srgnals using high-accuracy
drgrtal matrix technology. For best results, DTS-ES should be used
wrth movre soundtracks recorded wtth DTS-ES which contain a drgital
flag that wrll automatrcally activate thus feature. However, for some
titles, this feature has to be actrvated manually.
According to the srgnals to be played back, DTS NEO.6 uses erther the
