Surround modes

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 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

Conventional surround formats use sampling frequencies of 48 or 44.1 kHz, which allows for a maximum playback signal frequency of 20 kHz. With DTS 96/24 the sampling frequency is increased to 96 or 88.2 kHz to achieve a wide frequency range of over 40 kHz. In addition, this format has a resolution of 24 bits, resulting in the same frequency band and dynamic range as 96 kHz/24 bit PCM signals.

As with conventional DTS surround, DTS 96/24 is compatible with a maximum of 5.1 channels. DTS 96/24 is fully compatible with the conventional DTS surround format, so

DTS 96/24 sources can be played using a conventional DTS 5.1 channel decoder.

The following modes apply conventional

2-channel signals such as digital PCM or analog stereo signals to high performance Digital Signal Processor to recreate sound fields artificially.

MATRIX

This mode reproduces delayed signals from the surround channels to emphasize the sense of expansion for music sources.

CHURCH

This mode provides the ambience of a church for baroque, string orchestral, or choral group music.

THEATER
