Music/Sounds: First, there is a laser sound leading into a boom mixed with the electricity zap, followed by a whoosh with another boom and zap, and then another whoosh with a boom and zap. This is followed by a loud phaser sound alongside an explosion, and there are twinkles heard alongside more whooshes, a whir when "DIGITAL" and "SOUND" appear, and a loud descending drone sounding similar to a Lifestep fitness machine powering down or the THX Deep Note. | Music/Sounds: First, there is a laser sound leading into a boom mixed with the electricity zap, followed by a whoosh with another boom and zap, and then another whoosh with a boom and zap.

In theaters, it was used until 1999 or 2000 when DTS received complaints that this was too loud and scary for kids and unfitting for more quiet films due to its bombastic nature, and thus attempted an alternative with the third trailer. This made its official debut alongside THX's "Grand" trailer on the theatrical premiere of ''Jurassic Park''. It later reemerged on DTS-certified Laserdiscs and DVDs, such as ''The Wedding Singer'', Vertigo and Universal and Sony titles like the first DVD releases of ''Close Encounters of the Third Kind'' and ''Babe'', Superbit releases such as ''Gattaca'', ''Johnny Mnemonic'', ''Panic Room'', ''xXx'', ''Spider-Man'', ''Snatch'', ''Seven Years in Tibet'', ''The Patriot'' and ''Labyrinth'', several music/concert DVDs, DTS-enhanced DVDs of ''Saving Private Ryan'', ''Jurassic Park'', ''The Lost World: Jurassic Park'', and DTS LaserDiscs from Walt Disney Home Video such as ''Pocahontas'', ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame'', ''Toy Story: Collector's Edition'', ''Flubber'', and ''Hercules''. The normal version is also on the 2000 “Ultimate Edition” DVD of ''Terminator 2: Judgement Day'', preceding the THX Cavalcade trailer made for the release. However, the short version is extinct as was only shown in theaters for this logo's first year, such as ''Carlito's Way''. Due to the digital nature of its encoding, on laserdiscs, the audio can only be heard through a special DTS modulator to decode DTS audio, where on DVDs it can only be accessed if you select the DTS option in the DVD's audio menu and then play the movie. If your player cannot decode DTS audio, this logo (and the following movie) will either be silent or play back with major distortion. Can also be seen on some Nutech Digital DVDs if you select DTS, such as Tom Sawyer, ''Peter Pan'', ''20,000 Leagues Under the Sea'', ''Wind in the Willows'', ''The Odyssey'', ''Treasure Island'', among others. | ||
