DTS Entertainment Debuts DVD-Audio "Info Grid" On Sheila Nicholls November 5th Release

Unique Back Cover Chart Reveals Primary Features and Specs

Agoura Hills, CA - October 31, 2002 - DTS Entertainment (DTSE) today announced a November 5th release date for a unique DVD-Audio version of popular singer-songwriter Sheila Nicholls' 2002 album, entitled Wake. This groundbreaking package marks the debut of a new consumer "Info Grid" that instantly identifies the special features authored into each DVD-Audio title.

In direct response to the growing demand for a simple way to learn about the various features and technical specifications of a DVD-Audio title, DTSE designed the "Info Grid" to be printed on the back cover of all future releases. Each grid clearly identifies the audio formats available on the disc, as well as the sample rates and bit depths for each format. It also clarifies the player compatibility for each audio track, plus the extra features offered on each title.

"Millions of home theater enthusiasts are actively seeking DVD titles that incorporate special bonus features and the finest surround sound," explained David DelGrosso, DTSE Vice President of Marketing. "Similar to DVD-Video, the DVD-Audio format can offer a wide assortment of value-added features, and this newly designed 'Info Grid' organizes all of the pertinent data into an instantly-accessible reference chart."

Exploring the life of the self-made woman and Nicholls' notion of faith, Wake features several tracks co-produced and co-written by Glen Ballard (Alanis Morissette.) Remixed by talented sound engineer and producer Nathaniel Kunkel, the DTSE DVD-A version of Wake brings these expressive compositions to life in a whole new way.

The bonus features on this Wake DVD-Audio disc include a DTS-ES 6.1-channel mix of the entire album for DVD-Video players, plus her popular music video of "Faith" synced to the 6.1 mix, as well as a surprise surround mix of the upcoming radio version of "How Strong." Additionally, the DVD-A version will include a surround version of "Ownership," the hidden track on the original Wake CD.\
