Surround Mode	Description	Incoming Bitstream or Signal
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

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.
