Recorded and edited in 5.1 Dolby
Digital and DTS Surround Sound

DVD-Audio, the latest stage in the development of the Digital Versatile Disc, contains at least seven times the capacity of a CD. Engineered and edited as a 24-bit/96kHz five-channel surround production, carrying Dolby Digital and dts sound, it is fully compatible with DVD-Video players and existing home cinema systems. It is also playable in stereo on DVD-V hardware.

"This does what surround sound should: supply ambient, atmospheric information from the rear of the hall without in any way 'pulling' the frontal image. … It is a first-rate example of how multi-channel recording can provide a more lifelike experience." Gramophone on 5.110001
