• 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 nonmatrix recordings

into the five- or six-channel layout, in a way which does not diminish

the subtlety and integrity of the original stereo recording.

DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new multi-channel digital signal

format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc. While offering high

compatibility with the conventional DTS Digital Surround format, DTS-

ES Extended Surround greatly improves the 360-degree surround

impression and space expression thanks to further expanded

surround signals. This format has been used professionally in movie

theaters since 1999.

In addition to the 5.1 surround channels (FL, FR, C, SL, SR and LFE),

DTS-ES Extended Surround also offers the SB (Surround Back)

channel for surround playback with a total of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES

Extended Surround includes two signal formats with different

surround signal recording methods, as DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-

ES Matrix 6.1.

The stereo CD is a 16-bit medium with sampling at 44.1 kHz.

Professional audio has been 20- or 24-bit for some time, and there is

increasing interest in higher sampling rates both for recording and for

delivery into the home. Greater bit depths provide extended dynamic

range. Higher sampling rates allow wider frequency response and the

use of anti-alias and reconstruction filters with more favorable aural

characteristics.

DTS 96/24 allows for 5.1channel sound tracks to be encoded at a rate

of 96kHz/24bits on DVD-Video titles.

When DVD-video appeared, it became possible to deliver 24-bit, 96

kHz audio into the home, but only in two channels, and with serious

limitations on picture. This capability has had little use.

DVD-audio allows 96/24 in six channels, but a new player is needed,

and only analog outputs are provided, necessitating the use of the D/A

converters and analog electronics provided in the player.

DTS 96/24 offers the following:

1. Sound quality transparent to the original 96/24 master.

2. Full backward compatibility with all existing decoders. (Existing

decoders will output a 48 kHz signal)

3. No new player required: DTS 96/24 can be carried on DVD-video, or

in the video zone of DVD-audio, accessible to all DVD players.

4. 96/24 5.1-channel sound with full-quality full-motion video, for

music programs and motion picture soundtracks on DVD-video.

Dolby Digital identifies the use of Dolby Digital (AC-3) audio coding for

such consumer formats as DVD and DTV. As with film sound, Dolby

Digital can provide up to five full-range channels for left, center, and

right screen channels, independent left and right surround channels,

and a sixth ( ".1") channel for low-frequency effects.

Dolby Surround Pro Logic II is an improved matrix decoding

technology that provides better spatiality and directionality on Dolby

Surround program material; provides a convincing three-dimensional

soundfield on conventional stereo music recordings; and is ideally

suited to bring the surround experience to automotive sound. While

conventional surround programming is fully compatible with Dolby

Surround Pro Logic II decoders, soundtracks will be able to be

encoded specifically to take full advantage of Pro Logic II playback,

including separate left and right surround channels. (Such material is

also compatible with conventional Pro Logic decoders.)

Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 5.1-

channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives

three surround channels from the two in the original recording. For

best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movies soundtracks

recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX.

Circle Surround II (CS-II) is a powerful and versatile multi-channel

technology. CS-II is designed to enable up to 6.1 multi-channel

surround sound playback from mono, stereo, CS encoded sources

and other matrix encoded sources. In all cases the decoder extends it

into 6 channels of surround audio and a LFE/subwoofer signal. The

CS-II decoder creates a listening environment that places the listener

“inside” music performances and dramatically improves both hi-fi

audio conventional surround-encoded video material. CS-II provides

composite stereo rear channels to greatly improve separation and

image positioning – adding a heightened sense of realism to both

audio and A/V productions.

CS-II is packed with other useful feature like dialog clarity (SRS Dialog)

for movies and cinema-like bass enrichment (TruBass). CS-II can

enable the dialog to become clearer and more discernable in movies

and it enables the bass frequencies contained in the original

programming to more closely achieve low frequencies – overcoming the

low frequency limitations of the speakers by full octave.

HDCD

(High Definition Compatible Digital

) is a patented process for

delivering on Compact Disc the full richness and details of the original

microphone feed.

HDCD encoded CDs sound better because they are encoded with 20-

bits of real musical information as compared to 16-bits for all other CDs.

HDCD overcomes the limitation of the 16-bit CD format by using a

sophisticated system to encode the additional four bits onto the CD

while remaining completely compatible with the CD format.

When listening to HDCD recordings, you hear more dynamic range, a

focused 3-D sound stage, and extremely natural vocal and musical

timbre. With HDCD, you get the body, depth and emotion of the

original performance not a flat, digital imitation.
