DTS-ES Matrix
Known also as DTS (3/3) Matrix, an enhanced form
of DTS. On top of the discretely encoded 5.1 chan-
nels DTS ES also provides an extra 6th channel
(Surround Back giving 5.1), matrix encoded into the
rear surrounds for greater image depth and more
solid sound localisation behind the listener. DTS ES
requires a DTS ES encoded disc. DTS ES material is
backwards compatible with DTS 5.1 decoding. If DTS
ES is decoded as normal DTS the Surround Back
signal will be present in both Left and Right Rear Sur-
rounds (forming a phantom rear centre). It can also be
decoded as 5.1 by sending the Surround Back decode
to the both the Surround Back Left and Right speakers
(forming two mono Back Surrounds).
DTS-ES Discrete
Another enhanced form of DTS, also known as
DTS (3/3) Discrete or DTS ES Discrete 5.1. DTS ES
Discrete also provides an extra channel (Surround
Back) for greater image depth and more solid sound
localisation behind the listener, however in this case
extra data is included in the bitstream so that all
channels are discretely encoded. The Surround Back
has greater separation from the other channels than
is possible with matrix encoded technologies. DTS-ES
Discrete requires a DTS-ES Discrete encoded disc.
DTS ES Discrete is backwards compatible with both
DTS 5.1 and DTS ES Matrix 6.1 decoding. If DTS
ES Discrete is decoded as normal DTS the Surround
Back signal will be present in both Left and Right Rear
Surrounds (forming a phantom rear centre). If DTS ES
Discrete is decoded with DTS ES Matrix the Surround
Back signal will be decoded separately (i.e. as 6.1) but
by a matrix process, which will give the same channel
separation as if the source disc were actually DTS ES
Matrix (but not as good as DTS EX Discrete).
It can also be decoded as 5.1 by sending the Sur-
round Back decode to both the Surround Back Left
and Right speakers (forming two mono Back Sur-
rounds).
Pro Logic II
The replacement for original ProLogic, Pro Logic II is a
technology where 5 channels (Front Left, Front Right,
Centre, Surround Left, Surround Right) are encoded
into a Stereo mix by an analogue matrix process.
Dolby Pro Logic II material can be played back by
normal Stereo equipment (as Stereo) or decoded into
5 channel surround-sound.
Dolby Pro Logic II is compatible with the earlier 4
channel (Left, Centre, Right and mono Surround) Dol-
by Pro Logic system (which was the decoding counter-
part to Dolby Surround encoding) as used widely on
Video tapes, TV broadcasts and earlier fi lms.
Note:
Pro Logic does not include a Low Frequency
Effects channel for the Subwoofer, but TI 1000 HC can
create a Subwoofer output (for 5.1) via Bass manage-
ment. Refer to the (R)Tone/Sub/LFE confi guration!
section in the “Operating instructions” part of this
manual.
DTS Neo:6
A DTS technology which is able to recreate 6 channel
(Left Front, Right Front, Centre, Left Surround, Right
Surround, Surround Back ) surround sound from suit-
able analogue matrix encoded stereo source material.
DTS Neo:6 material can be played back by normal
Stereo equipment (as Stereo) or decoded into 6 chan-
nel surround-sound.
Note:
Neo:6 does not include a Low Frequency Ef-
fects channel for the Subwoofer, but TI 1000 HC can
create a Subwoofer output via Bass management.
Refer to the (R)Tone/Sub/LFE confi guration! section in
the “Operating instructions” part of this manual.
DTS Neo:6 can also be decoded as 5.1 by sending
the Surround Back decode to both the Surround Back
Left and Right speakers (forming two mono Back
Surrounds).
DTS 96/24
A DTS technology that provides 5.1 channels of
96kHz / 24bit audio (along with video if required) on
DVD-Video and DVD-Audio (video zone) discs (when
suitably encoded in DTS 96/24). DVD players which
allow ‘DTS digital out’ pass the DTS 96/24 bitstream
over S/PDIF for decoding in TI 1000 HC.
DSP modes
These modes allow a surround-sound experience
from source material that has no encoding at all. The
surround sound effect is achieved by Digital Signal
Processing of the Analogue or Digital stereo source
used. Five modes are possible: Movie, Music, Room,
Theatre and Hall.
Stereo/ Sub
Only the Front Left and Front Right speakers (and
subwoofer if selected) have output in this mode. If an
analogue source is selected it will be converted to
digital via 24 bit A/D converters to allow digital domain
sub creation and bass/treble controls.
