DTS' High-Performance Audio Technology Brings Enhanced Clarity and
Quality to Panasonic TVs
CALABASAS, Calif. -- (Business Wire)
DTS,
Inc. (Nasdaq: DTSI), a leader in high-definition audio solutions and

PDP TVs and WT60, DT60, ET60, E60, EM60 series LCD TVs in North America.
This marks the first time that Panasonic has offered DTS

market, which provides Panasonic’s customers high-performance DTS sound
to compliment the stunning visual capabilities of their TVs.

allows the TV to digitally pass a DTS encoded audio feed to any
