Six Channel Discrete Inputs
Six Channel Discrete Inputs provide a cheap upgrade path for six-channel audio systems. Lower cost amplifiers without DTS or Dolby Digital processing often include six-channel discrete inputs, allowing DVD players with appropriate onboard processing to mate directly with the receiver/amp's amplification stage. Six-channel inputs also ensure compatibility with future six-channel audio formats, such as DVD-Audio and SACD, and less common formats such as MPEG Multichannel.
