DESCRIPTION
Neural-THX
®
Surround has been chosen as the
offi cial surround sound broadcast f ormat for leading
FM/HD and satellite radio and tele vision stations
worldwide. Neur al-THX Surround deliv ers the rich
env elopment and discrete image detail of surround
sound in a format 100% compatible with stereo .
Neural-THX Surround dra ws the brain’ s attention
to sonic details in musical instruments, v ocals and
ambience that are typically masked b y other pla yback
systems. This allo ws the listener to fully e xperience
the richness and subtleties in recorded performance
as nev er bef ore f or both surround encoded material
and regular stereo material such as CDs or digital
media play ers.
Neural-THX Surround: T aking Surround to the Ne xt

• dts Digital Surround
DTS was introduced in 1994 to provide 5.1 channels
of discrete digital audio into home theater systems.
DTS brings you premium quality discrete multichannel
digital sound to both movies and music.
DTS is a multichannel sound system designed to
create full range digital sound reproduction.
The no compromise DTS digital process sets the
standard of quality for cinema sound b y deliv ering
an exact cop y of the studio master recordings to
neighborhood and home theaters.
Now , e v ery moviegoer can hear the sound e xactly as
the moviemak er intended.
DTS can be enjoy ed in the home f or either movies or
music on of D VD’ s, LD’ s, and CD’ s .
• dts Neo:6
®
The advantages of discrete m ultichannel systems
ov er matrix are well known.
But ev en in homes equipped f or discrete multichannel,
there remains a need for high-quality matrix decoding.
This is because of the large library of matr ix surround
motion pictures av ailable on disc and on VHS tape;
and analog 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
improv e separation, b ut because of its mono , band-
limited surround it can be disappointing to users
accustomed to discrete multichannel.
Neo:6 offers se v eral important improvements as
follo w ,
• Neo:6 provides up to six full-band channels of
matrix decoding from stereo matrix mater ial. Users
with 6.1 and 5.1 systems will derive six and fi ve
separate channels, respectiv ely , corresponding to
the standard home-theater speaker la y outs.
• Neo:6 technology allows various sound elements
within a channel or channels to be steered
separately , and in a wa y which follo ws naturally
from the original presentation.
• Neo:6 off ers a m usic mode to e xpand stereo
nonmatrix recordings into the fi v e- or six-channel
lay out, in a wa y which does not diminish the subtlety
and integrity of the original stereo recording.
• dts Digital Surround ES
®
DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new multichannel
digital signal format de veloped b y Digital Theater
Systems Inc. While off ering high compatibility with the
conv entional DTS Digital Surround f ormat, DTS-ES
Extended Surround greatly improv es the 360-degree
surround impression and space expression thanks
to fur ther e xpanded surround signals. This f ormat
has been used professionally in mo vie 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 Bac k) channel f or surround
playbac k with a total of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES
Extended Surround includes two signal f ormats with
different surround signal recording methods , as DTS-
ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1.
• dts Digital Surround 96/24
The stereo CD is a 16-bit medium with sampling at
44.1 kHz. Prof essional audio has been 20- or 24-
bit for some time , and there is increasing interest
in higher sampling rates both f or recording and f or
delivery into the home. Greater bit depths pro vide
extended dynamic r ange. Higher sampling r ates
allow wider frequency response and the use of anti-
alias and reconstruction fi lters with more f av orab le
aural characteristics.
DTS 96/24 allows f or 5.1channel sound trac ks to be
encoded at a rate of 96kHz/24bits on D VD-Video
titles.
When D VD-video appeared, it became possib le 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.
D VD-audio allo ws 96/24 in six channels, b ut a
new pla y er is needed, and only analog outputs are
provided, necessitating the use of the D/A con verters
and analog electronics provided in the pla yer .
DTS 96/24 offers the f ollo wing:
1. Sound quality tr ansparent to the original 96/24
master .
2 . Full backward compatibility with all e xisting
decoders. (Existing decoders will output a 48 kHz
signal)
3. No new play er required: DTS 96/24 can be carried
on D VD-video , or in the video z one of D VD-audio ,
accessible to all D VD pla y ers .
4 . 96/24 5.1-channel sound with full-quality full-
motion video , f or music programs and motion
picture soundtracks on D VD-video.
DTS-HD Master Audio is capab le of deliv ering audio
that is a bit-for-bit identical to the studio master .
DTS-HD Master Audio deliv ers audio at super high
variable bit r ates -24.5 mega-bits per second (Mbps)
on Blu-ra y discs and 18.0 Mbps on HD-D VD - that
are signifi cantly higher than standard D VDs . This bit
stream is so “f ast” and the tr ansf er rate is so “high”
that it can deliver the Holy Gr ail of audio: 7.1 audio
channels at 96k sampling frequency/24 bit depths
that are identical to the original. With DTS-HD Master
Audio , y ou will be ab le to e xperience movies and
music, e xactly as the artist intended: clear , pure , and
uncompromised.
