DTS® (Digital Theater Systems) Formats
|
|
|
|
DTS® offers premium sound quality with optimal channel separation and sound quality. Like Dolby® Digital, standard DTS® is a discrete 5.1-channel system; however, it uses less compression. DTS® Neo:6 derives 6-channel sound from a stereo (2-channel) soundtrack. DTS offers two DTS®-ES™ (Extended Surround) formats: DTS®-ES™ Discrete 6.1, which provides a 6.1-channel system with a discrete back surround channel; and DTS®-ES™ Matrix 6.1, which provides a 6.1-channel system with a matrix-encoded back surround channel. DTS® 96/24 offers you the sound quality of the 96/24 master. This format can be encoded on DVD-Video or in the video zone of DVD-Audio, so it can be played on all DVD players.

Dolby® is recognized as the pioneer in mutichannel audio reproduction. Dolby® Digital EX™ creates six full-bandwidth channels from 5.1-channel sources using a matrix decoder that derives three surround channels from the two in the original recording. Dolby® Pro Logic® IIx transforms any native stereo or 5.1 signal into a 6.1- or 7.1- channel output with Movie, Music and Game modes that enable you to tailor your listening experience to the source material. Game mode can deliver fullimpact special effects signals to the surround speakers.

CinemaFILTER™
|
|
|
|
The tonal balance of a film soundtrack can be edgy and bright when played back over audio equipment in your home - this is because film soundtracks are designed to be played back in large theaters, using commercial equipment. Onkyo has developed its own solution that restores the correct tonal balance of a movie soundtrack in the smaller environs of your home theater.

RDS (Radio Data System)
|
|
|
|
Since 1987, this system has simplified the tuning of programming of an increasing number of radio frequencies. Incorporated into radio receivers, the system selects programs and displays them on the receiver’s alpha-numerical display. Also, a microprocessor enables the receiver to determine the transmitter frequency that gives the best quality reception.
