multizone system is in use), the higher capacity of high-resolution discs
serves up DTS at twice the bit rate used on DVD-Video discs.

A Harman International proprietary technology, Logic 7 technology
enhances 2-channel and matrix-encoded recordings by deriving
separate information for the surround back channels. This provides more
accurate placement of sound, improves panning and expands the sound
field, even when used with 5.1-channel systems. Logic 7 technology
uses 96kHz processing, and is available in 5.1-or 7.1-channel modes.
Three variants are available.
