DTS Pulse
Use this definition to switch the CP to the XD20 input.
DTS Sustain
Use only for CP that requires a sustained contact to switch to the
XD20 input.
DTS ES
Use this definition to switch the CP to the XD20 input and process as extended
surround (ES). This should not be used to replace the DTS pulse signal, but as
an alternate format used when XD20 detects that the soundtrack is encoded for
extended surround. If XD20 does not have a DTS ES pin defined, then the DTS
Pulse pin is used for both ES and non-ES soundtracks. A DTS-ES unit is
required to decode the ES signal.
