What is the difference between DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete and 6.1 Matrix technologies?
DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete contains an individual, completely discrete center surround channel, along with the standard 5.1 channels. This is the premium way to listen to 6.1 content. Exclusive to DTS on DVD, 6.1 discrete channels improve localization and clarity of sounds, compared to other 6.1 matrix technologies. 6.1 matrix technologies create a faux center surround channel with content derived from the left and right surround channels to give the experience of sound from the center surround speaker.
