High Bit Rate Equals Accurate Sound

DTS-HD can encode and decode audio at super high bit rates. In digital recording, the faster the transfer of digital information (data rate), the better the sound quality. DTS-HD has the ability to deliver very high data rates that can capture virtually all of the original audio information (DTS-HD High Resolution Audio) or ALL of the information (DTS-HD Master Audio). What this means is surround sound with unprecedented accuracy and realism.

Higher Sampling Frequency and Bit Depth

DTS-HD delivers wider frequency response and greater dynamic range for both movies and music. Higher sampling rates and greater bit depth mean more realistic sounds (clearer and accurate) and greater dynamic punch. Music and dialogue will sound more clear and accurate, and the dynamic range of action sound effects will be dramatically improved. DTS was the only format that delivered 96k/24 bit sound to standard DVD Video discs, and we continue to lead the way in audio performance with Blu-ray and HD-DVD discs.

7.1 Channels puts you in the Action

DTS-HD is capable of 7.1 channels that immerse the listener in a perfect movie or music experience. The additional channels radiate uniform sound coverage throughout your living room, virtually eliminating any "holes" in the surround sound field. It delivers a great surround experience for everyone in the room - and not just for the person sitting in the "sweet spot".

Better Sound for Today and Tomorrow

To experience DTS-HD Audio, you can use your existing AV receiver with a new high definition Blu-ray or HD-DVD disc player with a DTS-HD decoder built-in. The new player can connect to your existing receiver with a S/PDIF or HDMI digital input, or 7.1 channel analog inputs. You can confidently play back high definition discs with DTS-HD or DTS Digital Surround through your existing DTS capable receiver, and experience audio at twice the resolution found on most standard DVD movies.
