quality digital audio from DTS program sources such as
discs, DVD and compact discs, etc.bearing the trademark.
DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 6 channels of
transparent audio(which means identical to the original
masters) and results in exceptional clarity throughout a
true 360 degree sound field. “DTS” and “DTS Digital

The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1
channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital
program source. If you play DVDs with “

can enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accura-
cy, and improved dynamic range.

II
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output
channels from two-channel sources. This is done using
an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that
extracts the spatial properties of the original recording
without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.
MOVIE mode:
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television
shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround.
The result is enhanced soundfield directionality that
approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.
MUSIC mode:
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music
recordings.
MATRIX mode:
The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode
except that the directional enhancement logic is
turned off. It may be used to enhance mono signals
by making them seem “larger.” The Matrix mode may
also find use in auto systems, where the fluctuations
from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause
disturbing surround signals from a logic decoder. The
ultimate “cure” for poor FM stereo reception may be
simply to force the audio to mono.
BYPASS

and subwoofer.
