■DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround(also called simply DTS) is a multi- channel digital signal format which can handle higher data rates. Discs bearing the DTS logo include the recording of up to 5.1 channels of digital signals, which can be generally thought to provide better sound quality due to the lower audio compression required.

It also provides wide dynamic range and separation, resulting in magnificent sound.

■DTS 96/24

This is high resolution DTS with a 96 kHz sampling rate and 24 bit resolution, providing superior fidelity. Use it with DVDs bearing the DTS 96/24 logo.
