DTS-ES Matrix

This is DTS with an added surround back channel for 6.1 surround sound. Use it to

provide 6.1-channel surround playback with program material recorded in DTS 5.1 format. Since DTS 5.1 program material

contains surround back channel informa-

tion, all channels can be reconstructed for 6.1-channel playback. Use this mode with CDs, DVDs, or LDs that bear the DTS-ES or DTS logo.

Neo:6

This mode provides 6.1-channel playback from 2-chan- nel sources. It offers six full-bandwidth channels with excellent separation. There are two modes of operation: Cinema mode for movies, and Music mode for listening to music.

Cinema mode simulates the realistic sense of movement that you get with 6.1-channel surround sound sources. Use this mode with videos, DVDs, and TV programs that feature stereo sound.

Music mode uses the surround channels to simulate a natural sound field that cannot be produced with conven- tional stereo. Use this mode with stereo material such as music CDs.

Orchestra

Suitable for classical or operatic music. The surround channels are emphasized in order to widen the stereo image. In addition, it simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.

Unplugged

Suitable for acoustic instrument sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it simu- lates the stage-front experience.
