higher capacity of high-resolution discs serves up DTS at twice the bit rate
used on DVD-Video discs. Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD discs encoded with •

DTS-HD Master Audio DTS-HD Master Audio technology delivers bit-for-bit reproductions of the
studio master recording in up to 7.1 channels, for an incredibly accurate
