DTS is a multi-channel sound system designed to create full range

for cinema sound by delivering an exact copy of the studio master
recordings to neighborhood and home theaters.
Now, every moviegoer can hear the sound exactly as the moviemaker
intended.
DTS can be enjoyed in the home for either movies or music on of
DVD’s, LD’s, and CD’s.
Dolby Digital lets you enjoy Digital TV, Digital Satellite as well as DVD,
LD software in digital surround, which is the next step above Dolby
Pro Logic.
In comparison with Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital can provide
separate left surround and right surround channels, for more precise
localization of sounds and a more convincing, realistic ambience.
And, with Dolby Digital, all five main channels can be full ranged and
a subwoofer can be added to each channel ,if desired. By providing
up to 5.1channels of digital audio independently, Dolby Digital lets
you enjoy better sound quality and more powerful presence than
conventional Dolby Surround.
