DTS-HD High Resolution Audio can deliver up to 7.1 channels of sound that is virtually
indistinguishable from the original. DTS-HD High Resolution Audio delivers audio at high constant
bit rates superior to standard DVDs – 6.0 Mbps on Blu-ray discs and 3.0 Mbps on HD-DVD to
produce outstanding sound quality. It is capable of delivering up to 7.1 channels at 96k sampling
frequency/24 bit depth resolution. It allows content creators to deliver rich, high definition audio
on movies where disc space may not allow for DTS-HD Master Audio.

DTS was introduced in 1994 to provide 5.1 Channels of discrete digital audio into home theater
systems. DTS brings you premium quality discrete multi-channel digital sound to both movies and
music. DTS is a multi-channel sound system designed to create full range digital sound
reproduction. The no compromise DTS digital process sets the standard of quality 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 DVD'S, LD'S, and CD'S.

The advantages of discrete multi-channel systems over matrix are well known. But even in
homes equipped for discrete multi-channel, there remains a need for high-quality matrix
decoding. This is because of the large library of matrix surround motion pictures available on
disc, VHS Hi Fi tape, and analog Stereo television broadcasts. The typical matrix decoder of today
derives a center channel and a mono surround channel from two-channel matrix stereo material.
It is better than a simple matrix in that it includes steering logic to improve separation, but
because of its mono, band-limited surround it can be disappointing to users accustomed to
discrete multi-channel sound.
Neo:6 offers several important improvements: Neo:6 provides up to six full-band channels of
matrix decoding from stereo matrix material. Users with 6.1 and 5.1 systems will derive six and
five separate channels, respectively, corresponding to the standard home-theater speaker
layouts. Neo:6 technology allows various sound elements within a channel or channels to be
steered separately, and in a way which follows naturally from the original presentation.
Neo:6 offers a music mode to expand stereo or matrix recordings into the five or six channel
layout, in a way which does not diminish the subtlety and integrity of the original stereo
recording.
