Definitions for "Digital Theater Systems"
DTS is an established multichannel audio format in movie theaters, but a relative newcomer to car video. Like Dolby Digital, DTS is primarily a 5.1-channel format. The compression scheme used in DTS "throws away" significantly less audio data than Dolby Digital, so it should sound better, but so far, side-by-side comparisons have been inconclusive.
An 8-channel sound format used in commercial movie theaters.
Company which develops and markets multichannel digital audio systems.
