DTS-HD Master Audio adopts variable datatransfer rates, facilitating data transfer to the maximum rate of 24.5 Mbpsin the Blu-ray disc format, 18.0 Mbps in the HD-DVD format, which byfar exceeds that of a standard DVD. These high data transfer rates enablelossless transmission of 96 kHz/24-bit 7.1-channel audio sources withoutdeteriorating the quality of the original sound. DTS-HD Master Audio is anirreplaceable technology that can reproduce sound faithfully as intendedby the creator of music or movies.DTS - ES EXTENDED SURROUND ™ (DTS ES)This is a new multi-channel digital format which greatly improves the 360°spatial sensation of the Surround impression thanks to the greater spaceexpansion of the surround signals, providing high compatibility with theconventional DTS format.In addition to the 5.1 channels, the expanded DTS-ES Surround alsooffers the back surround (also sometimes called the “surround centre”)in reproduction, providing a total of 6.1 channels. The expanded DTS-ESSurround includes two formats, with two different methods of surroundsignal recording, as follows:DTS-ES™ DISCRETE 6.1Since the signals of the 6.1 Surround channels (including the back channel)are completely independent, it is possible to achieve the sensation that theacoustic image is moving about freely among the background sounds, 360degrees surrounding the listener.Although maximum quality is achieved with sound tracks recorded usingthis system and reproduced using the DTS-ES decoder, when played witha conventional DTS decoder, the back surround channel is automaticallydownmixed in the surround right and surround left channels of thesurround system, in such a way that none of the signal components arelost.OPERATIONUSING THE T 787 – SETUP MENU27ENGLISHFRANÇAISESPAÑOLITALIANODEUTSCHNEDERLANDSSVENSKAРУССКИЙ
