   Los Angeles – JVC said it has completed technical specifications to enable authoring of DTS sound on its D-VHS D-Theater high definition prerecorded video software platform as an optional sound system.

Using the technology, home video suppliers will be able to include DTS multi-channel sound tracks in addition to mandatory Dolby Digital and MPEG Audio (MPEG-1/layer 2) soundtracks on D-VHS HD tapes.

The D-VHS D-Theater platform incorporates a proprietary encryption system to prevent the unauthorized duplication of high value content. The DTS system has been added as an option to the D-Theater platform for HD prerecorded content in the North American market.
