How to troubleshoot using DTS

Last Update date : Sep 04. 2020

As home cinemas have improved, new surround sound formats have sprung up - bringing more detail and realism to movie nights. DTS is one of the most popular surround sound formats. If DTS is not supported on your Samsung TV or if there is a player connection problem, follow the instructions below.

What is DTS?

DTS (Digital Theatre System) is a surround sound format like Dolby Digital; both are popular audio compression technologies and enable movie makers to record multi-channel sound that can be reproduced in cinemas as well as homes. The compression rate is compressed to one third the level of Dolby Digital's sound, and DTS is also often used for 5.1 channel audio output.
