DTS (DTS Digital Surround)

During playback of a DVD disc recorded in DTS format, the surround mode is set to DTS automatically.

DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 5.1 channels with lower audio compression than Dolby Digital. It provides the clarity and dynamics of the original master soundtrack.

Dolby Digital

During playback of a DVD disc recorded in DOLBY DIGITAL format, the surround mode is set to DOLBY DIGITAL automatically.

Dolby Digital delivers up to 5 totally discrete, full-frequency audio channels (front left and right, center, and surround left and right), plus 0.1 channel called LFE (Low-Frequency Effects). LFE delivers a separate non-directional bass signal to the sub-woofer for more dynamic deep bass sound effects.
