What is the difference between DTS® and AC-3®? Help please.

DTS^® and AC3^® are two different audio coding technologies. The DTS^® (Digital Theater Systems) audio standard is licensed by Digital Theater Systems. The AC-3^® audio standard is licensed by Dolby^®. Specific information on each technology is available by clicking on the standard name above. Thanks

1. O n the Audio/Video Receivers like 310-5005, you have three different types of connection options: Analog, Digital and 5.1.
2. Analog connections are used with the A/V inputs from an Audio/Video device (for example, DVD, CD, SAT, or VCR).
3. Digital connections use the digital connection inputs (for example, Digital Coax or Opt. 1 & 2).
4. The 5.1 connections have six 5.1 Audio inputs: Surround (Rear) Left, Surround (Rear) Right, Subwoofer, Center, DVD 5.1 CH Front Right, and DVD 5.1 CH Front Left.
