Blu-ray Discs™ don’t just offer awesome pictures – they can also offer incredible sound quality too.

So how do they do that, and why does it sound better?

Uncompressed audio needs a lot of space, which isn’t available on DVD. The extra capacity of Blu-ray Discs™ means more room for high quality audio.

Say you’re watching a movie. When the film is cut, the studio master carries all the sound quality of the original shoot – just like the director intended it to be heard.

More room, more sound

When that film is transferred to DVD, the disc doesn’t have the capacity to hold this level of audio quality and play it back on your TV at home.

With Blu-ray Disc™, and it’s 10 x DVD capacity, you get a lossless transfer so all the original sound quality is captured and ready to explode into life on your screen.

This includes ‘lossless’ formats Linear PCM, Dolby True HD and DTS Master Audio to match that of the studio master itself.

Simply, HD audio on Blu-ray Disc™ gives you 7.1 channels of lossless High Definition audio for a superior listening experience... That’s HD audio at its best.
