Decoding is performed with emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with 6. 1-channel sources. This mode is effective for playing sources recorded in conventional surround formats as well, because the in-phase component is assigned mainly to the center channel (C) and the reversed phase component to the surround (SL, SR and SB channels). The front channel (FL and FR) signals bypass the decoder and are played directly so there is no loss of sound quality, and the effect of the surround signals output from the center (C) and surround (SL, SR and SB) channels add a natural sense of expansion to the sound field. CENTER IMAGE (0. 0 to 1. 0: default 0. 3): The center image parameter for adjusting the expansion of the center channel in the DTS NEO:6 MUSIC mode has been added. 2 3 4 Press the INPUT MODE button to set the input mode to "AUTO" or "DTS".

CINEMA EQ D. COMP. [. . . ] With DTS 96/24, the sampling frequency is increased to 96 or 88. 2 kHz to achieve a wide frequency range of over 40 kHz. In addition, DTS 96/24 has a resolution of 24-bits, resulting in the same frequency band and dynamic range as 96 kHz/24-bit PCM. As with conventional DTS Surround, DTS 96/24 is compatible with a maximum of 5. 1 channels, so sources recorded using DTS 96/24 can be played in high sampling frequency, multiple channel audio with such normal media as DVD videos and CDs. Thus, with DTS 96/24, the same 96 kHz/24-bit multi-channel surround sound as with DVD-Audio can be achieved while viewing DVD-Video images on a conventional DVD-Video player ( 1). [. . . ]
