DTS Digital Surround DTS Digital Surround is a digital surround format developed by Digital Theater Systems of the United States. The number of playback channels and the playing band is the same as for Dolby Digital (5.1 channels). The compression rate of the audio data when it was recorded on the medium is lower than for Dolby Digital, so there is more information when the data is decoded, resulting in richer, clearer sound quality.

DTS-ES™ DTS-ES is a new surround format developed by Digital Theater Systems. A sound image and sense of positioning can be achieved by adding a surround back ("SB") channel to the conventional 5.1 channels. DTS-ES™ Discrete 6.1: This is the latest format, in which all 6.1 channels, including the "SB" channel, are recorded independently. Since the different channels are independent, the sound can be designed with total freedom. DTS-ES™ Matrix 6.1: With this format, the "SB" channel is matrix-encoded and inserted into the "SL" and "SR" channels, then decoded for the "SL", "SR" and "SB" channels upon playback. This achieves a surround sound more faithful to the artist's sound design intentions than with conventional 5.1 or 6.1 channel systems. DTS NEO:6 surround This is a matrix decoding technology for 6.1 channel surround playback of 2 channel sources. The optimum decoding for the type of signal source to be played can be selected. There are two modes. DTS NEO:6 CINEMA: This mode is suited for playing movies. It achieves the same type of sound as in a movie theater, even with 2 channels. DTS NEO:6 MUSIC: This mode is suited for playing music. A natural sense of expansion is added to the sound field. DTS 96/24 DTS 96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems. The sampling frequency is raised to achieve 5.1 channel playback with high quality sound (sampling frequency: 96 kHz, quantization: 24 bits). Home THX Cinema Surround THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies established by the world-renowned film production company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX grew from George Lucas' personal desire to make your experience of the film soundtrack, in both movie theaters and in your home theater, as faithful as possible to what the director intended. Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theaters called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back in movie theaters with similar equipment and conditions. The soundtrack created for movie theaters is then transferred directly onto Laserdisc, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not changed for playback in a small home theater environment. THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately translate the sound from the movie theater environment into the home, correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. On the AVR-5805CI, when the Home THX Cinema mode is on, THX post-processing is automatically added after the Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital or DTS decoder: Re-EQ™ (Re-Equalization): The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be excessively bright and harsh when played back over audio equipment in the home because film soundtracks are designed to be played back in large movie theaters using very different professional equipment. Re-Equalization restores the correct tonal balance for listening to a movie soundtrack in a normal home environment. 164
