DTS was introduced in 1994 to provide 5.1 Channels of discrete digital audio into home
theater systems. DTS brings you premium quality discrete multi-channel digital sound to
both movies and music. DTS is a multi-channel sound system designed to create full
range digital sound reproduction. The no compromise DTS digital process sets the
standard of quality for cinema sound by delivering an exact copy of the studio master
recordings to neighborhood and home theaters. Now, every moviegoer can hear the sound
exactly as the moviemaker intended.
DTS can be enjoyed in the home for either movies or music on DVD'S, LD'S, and CD'S.

The advantages of discrete multi-channel systems over matrix are well known. But even
in homes equipped for discrete multi-channel, there remains a need for high-quality
matrix decoding. This is because of the large library of matrix surround motion pictures
available on disc, VHS Hi-Fi tape, and analog Stereo television broadcasts. The typical
matrix decoder of today derives a center channel and a mono surround channel from two-
channel matrix stereo material. It is better than a simple matrix in that it includes steering
logic to improve separation, but because of its mono, band-limited surround it can be
disappointing to users accustomed to discrete multi-channel sound.
Neo:6 offers several important improvements: Neo:6 provides up to six full-band
channels of matrix decoding from stereo matrix material. Users with 6.1 and 5.1 systems
will derive six and five separate channels, respectively, corresponding to the standard
home-theater speaker layouts. Neo:6 technology allows various sound elements within a
channel or channels to be steered separately, and in a way which follows naturally from
the original presentation.
Neo:6 offers a music mode to expand stereo or matrix recordings into the five or six
channel layout, in a way which does not diminish the subtlety and integrity of the original
stereo recording.
