DECODING

The DTS and DTS-ES listening modes are designed for, at a minimum, playback of 5.1-channel DTS, 5.1-channel matrix encoded DTS-ES, and 6.1-channel discrete encoded DTS-ES sources.

DTS and DTS-ES listening mode names differ depending on the encoding present in the input source, the DECODING parameter setting, and the speaker setup.

DTS-ES listening modes are available when DTS-ES decoding is activated. The table at the bottom of the page shows the conditions for the behavior of DTS-ES decoding when it is activated.

•DTS-ES decoding is activated when both the side and rear speakers are present, the ES DECODING parameter is set to ON or AUTO, and a 5.1-channel matrix encoded source is detected.

•DTS-ES Discrete decoding is activated when both the side and rear speakers are present, the ES DECODING parameter is set to ON or AUTO, and a 6.1-channel discrete encoded DTS-ES source is detected.

•DTS-ES and DTS(-ES) Discrete decoding is deactivated when the ES DECODING parameter is set to OFF or when the ES DECODING parameter is set to AUTO and a 5.1-channel DTS source is detected.

Note:

The table below is not applicable to the DTS-ES THX, DTS THX UL2Cin, and DTS THX MUSIC listening modes.
