This method should be selected with sources bearing the (double-D symbol)-EX, recorded in Dolby Digital Surround EX. With this additional channel you will experience improved dynamics and a better sensation of movement within the sound field. If media sources recorded in Dolby Digital EX are decoded with a Digital EX decoder, the format is detected automatically, and the Dolby Digital EX mode is selected. However, some media sources recorded in Dolby Digital EX can be detected as simple Dolby Digital media sources. In this case Dolby Digital EX should be selected manually.

DTS The Digital Theater System Digital Surround (simply called DTS) is a multi-channel digital signal format that can process higher data rates than with Dolby Digital. Although both Dolby Digital and DTS are 5. 1 channel media formats, discs bearing the "DTS" symbol are thought to provide better sound quality due to the lower audio compression required. It also offers a broader dynamic, producing magnificent sound quality. A DTS input can be defaulted to one of the following options: - Neo:6 Music, Stereo Downmix or None.
