Dolby Pro Logic IIz						Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height is designed to more effectively use existing	S	B

DTS 96/24						This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. This is high-resolution DTS	D	XCN
						with a 96 kHz sampling rate and 24-bit resolution, providing superior
	D T S		9 6 / 2 4			fidelity. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.
DTS-ES Discrete*6						This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks, which use a	G	V
						discrete surround back channel for true 6.1/7.1-channel playback. The seven
	E S	D i s c r e t e				totally separate audio channels provide better spatial imaging and 360-
						degree sound localization, perfect for sounds that pan across the surround
						channels. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS-ES logo, especially those with
						a DTS-ES Discrete soundtrack.
DTS-ES Matrix*6						This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix soundtracks, which use a matrix-	G	V
						encoded back-channel for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. Use it with DVDs that			En
