Silver Member Username: John_sColumbus, Ohio US Post Number: 818 Registered: Feb-04 | DTS will also be a standard soundtrack of the new HD disc formats, and your existing dts AV receiver will decode the dts soundtrack, likely running at higher data rates, which should mean better sound than you hear now from dts. Like Dolby's TrueHD, dts will also have its own lossless format, called dts HD, and as with Dolby TrueHD, you'd need to have an HD player with a built-in dts-HD decoder to benefit from dts HD's lossless capabilities. If your current A/V receiver has an 8-channel analog input set, then you'd be able to enjoy the improved audio capabilities of DVD-HD and Blu-ray players by connecting the eight analog audio outputs from the HD player to your set of analog inputs on the AV receiver. http://www.axiomaudio.com/CES_2006.html |

As for me, I'll be happy with HD playback PQ while sticking with my little 5.1 setup. |
