from 2 channels or 5.1 channels to 5.1 channels or 7.1 channels respectively.

DTS:X
This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded in the DTS:X audio
format.
The DTS:X audio format is a combination of the mixing method based on
traditional channel based formats (5.1 ch and 7.1 ch) and object based dynamic
audio mixing, and it is characterized by the precise positioning of sounds and the
ability to express sound movement.
• To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via an HDMI cable and set
the audio output on the player to Bitstream output.
„
ES Discrete (DTS-ES Discrete)
This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded in the DTS-ES
Discrete audio format.

and Blu-ray Discs. It is possible to record a maximum of 6.1 channels with a
monaural surround back channel added.

ES Matrix (DTS-ES Matrix)
This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded in the DTS-ES
Matrix audio format.
DTS-ES Matrix is an optional audio format based on 5.1 ch for DVD-Video and
Blu-ray Discs. A monaural surround back channel is inserted to this format by
matrix encoding. During playback, 6.1 channel-playback is achieved by the
matrix decoder on this unit.
• To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via a digital cable and set the
audio output on the player to Bitstream output.

even with only two or three speakers. This works by controlling how sounds
