DTSConnect

DTSConnect is a real-time encoding technology from DTS, Inc. for interactive media and is only

available on the PC platform. It converts any audio signal on the computer into 5.1 channel DTSformat

and transports it via a single digital cable.

With Dolby Digital Live or DTSConnect, a single digital cable is all that is needed to connect your

computer to your home theatre system, simplifying the setup and eliminating the confusion of multiple

cables.

To learn how to connect your A/V receiver or digital speaker system to your audio card, consult the

Watching DVDs

Your DVDs are encoded with Dolby Digital audio technologies, which have to be decoded to enjoy multi-

channel audio on your 5.1 speaker systems.

Decoding with a software DVD player

You can use a software DVD player to decode Dolby Digital or DTSencoded signals from your DVDs, and

output multi-channel audio through your audio card to your speakers.

To do so, you need to install a software DVD player such as PowerDVD or WinDVD (latest version

recommended).

Decoding with an external decoder

You can pass Dolby Digital or DTS encoded signals from your DVDs through your audio card to an

external decoder (for example, an A/V receiver), and output multi-channel audio to your 5.1 speaker

systems. Some digital speaker systems are also capable of decoding Dolby Digital or DTS encoded

signals.

To learn more, consult the documentation of your external decoder or digital speaker system.
