What's the Difference Between Dolby Digital and DTS Home Theater Systems?

DTS®, or Digital Theater Systems, is another six-channel solution for home theater. It differs from Dolby Digital in two ways. DTS boasts higher fidelity, offering 20-bit audio as opposed to Dolby Digital's 16-bit audio. And all music and movies encoded in DTS are in six-channel sound. Not all Dolby Digital sound is recorded in six channels.

DTS has its disadvantages, as well. To run DTS, you'll need a DVD player that's equipped to channel a signal through DTS digital outputs. And you'll need a receiver with a built-in DTS decoder.
