DTS-HD
DTS-HD is a new high-definition audio format that complements the

using a DTS core with high-resolution extensions. Even when only DTS 5.1

surround sound is desired (or available, if the multizone system is in use),
the higher capacity of high-resolution discs serves up DTS at twice the bit
rate used on DVD-Video discs.
DTS-HD Master Audio
DTS-HD Master Audio technology delivers bit-for-bit reproductions of the

DTS-ES Matrix
DTS Extended Surround adds a single surround back channel to DTS 5.1

digital surround sound. The Matrix version includes the surround back
channel information “matrixed” into the left and right (side) surround
channels, for compatibility with 5.1-channel systems.
DTS-ES Discrete
DTS-ES Discrete is another Extended Surround mode that adds a surround

is not derived from information contained in the surround channels.

Logic 7
A Harman International proprietary technology, Logic 7 technology enhances

2-channel and matrix-encoded recordings by deriving separate information
for the surround back channels. This provides more accurate placement of
sound, improves panning and expands the sound field, even when used
with 5.1-channel systems. Logic 7 technology uses 96kHz processing, and is
available in 5.1- or 7.1-channel modes. Three variants are available.
