DTS-HD

 

DTS-HD is a new high-definition audio format that complements the

 

• Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD discs encoded

 

 

high-definition video found on Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD discs. It is transmitted

 

with DTS-HD modes, delivered via HDMI.

 

 

using a DTS core with high-resolution extensions. Even when only DTS 5.1

 

 

 

 

surround sound is desired (or available, if the multizone system is in use),

 

 

 

 

the higher capacity of high-resolution discs serves up DTS at twice the bit

 

 

 

 

rate used on DVD-Video discs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DTS-HD Master Audio

 

DTS-HD Master Audio technology delivers bit-for-bit reproductions of the

 

• Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD discs encoded with

 

 

studio master recording in up to 7.1 channels, for an incredibly accurate

 

DTS-HD Master Audio technology, delivered

 

 

performance.

 

via HDMI.

 

 

 

 

 

DTS-ES Matrix

 

DTS Extended Surround adds a single surround back channel to DTS 5.1

 

• DTS-ES Matrix

 

 

digital surround sound. The Matrix version includes the surround back

 

 

 

 

channel information “matrixed” into the left and right (side) surround

 

 

 

 

channels, for compatibility with 5.1-channel systems.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DTS-ES Discrete

 

DTS-ES Discrete is another Extended Surround mode that adds a surround

 

• DTS-ES Discrete

 

 

back channel, but this information is encoded discretely on the disc, and

 

 

 

 

is not derived from information contained in the surround channels.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DTS Stereo

 

Delivers a 2-channel downmix of DTS Digital materials, or presents

 

• DTS 1/0/.0 or .1, 2/0/.0 or .1, 3/0/.0 or .1,

 

 

a matrix-encoded surround presentation.

 

3/1/.0 or .1, 2/2/.0 or .1, 3/2/.0 or .1

 

 

 

 

• DTS 96/24

 

 

 

 

• DTS-ES Matrix

 

 

 

 

• DTS-ES Discrete

DTS Neo:6

 

Depending on the number of speakers in your system, select 3-, 5- or

 

• DTS 2/2/.0 or .1, 3/2/.0 or .1

Cinema

 

6-channel modes, enhanced for movie or video presentations.

 

• DTS 96/24

 

 

 

 

• Analog (2-channel)

 

 

 

 

• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz)

 

 

 

 

 

DTS Neo:6

 

Available only in 5- and 6-channel modes, creates a surround presentation

 

• DTS 2/2/.0 or .1, 3/2/.0 or .1

Music

 

suitable for music recordings.

 

• DTS 96/24

 

 

 

 

• Analog (2-channel)

 

 

 

 

• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz)

 

 

 

 

 

Logic 7

 

A Harman International proprietary technology, Logic 7 technology enhances

 

See below.

Mode Group

 

2-channel and matrix-encoded recordings by deriving separate information

 

 

 

 

for the surround back channels. This provides more accurate placement of

 

 

 

 

sound, improves panning and expands the sound field, even when used

 

 

 

 

with 5.1-channel systems. Logic 7 technology uses 96kHz processing, and is

 

 

 

 

available in 5.1- or 7.1-channel modes. Three variants are available.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Logic 7

 

Especially suited to 2-channel sources containing Dolby Surround or matrix

 

• Analog (2-channel)

encoding, Logic 7 Movie mode increases center channel intelligibility.

 

• Tuner

 

 

 

 

• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)

 

 

 

 

 

Logic 7

 

The AVR 354 is programmed at the factory to default to this mode for

 

• Analog (2-channel)

Music

 

2-channel signals. Logic 7 Music mode is well suited to conventional

 

• Tuner

 

 

2-channel music recordings.

 

• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
