'''Trailer''': We start on a black background, where all of a sudden, a giant, gold optical disc (which can be interpreted as either a laserdisc or a DVD) zooms out from the hole. When it stops, the gray word "the" zooms close and then moves back. The stylized blue word "digital" does the same, followed by a silver bar rectangle reading "experience" that flies out. After the logo forms, the whole thing explodes into various particles, which then turns into "d," "t," and "s", followed by the appearance of a blue box around the DTS text. Above the DTS blue box are the words "THIS THEATRE FEATURES" in orange. Finally, the word "DIGITAL" zooms out above the blue box, and the word "SOUND" zooms out below the box, all in white font. | '''Trailer''': We start on a black background, where all of a sudden, a giant, gold optical disc (which can be interpreted as either a laserdisc or a DVD) zooms out from the hole.

* An earlier version of the trailer was used in the first year of its existence, where we fade out after the first sequence dissolves. Also, the text "DTS IN SELECTED THEATRES" is shown below the disc. | * An earlier version of the trailer was used in the first year of its existence, where we fade out after the first sequence dissolves.

'''FX/SFX''': The disc zooming out at us, the individual words followed by the dissolving; the appearance of "DTS" and "THIS THEATRE FEATURES" text followed by the zoom out of the "DIGITAL SOUND" text. All in fine quality and in CGI. | |||
'''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, the THX Deep Note and the first part of the first note of the Roadshow-Lorimar Home Video logo. | '''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.

'''Trailer''': In a pillar box, a series of spiral strings appear in a piano. The light shines on the surface, and we cut to another part of the piano. Then, we cut to one of the hammers of the piano, and it hits the strings (the footage is played in reverse). We then cut to more hammers of the piano (one of which has the Yamaha logo on it) moving up and hitting the strings. We then see several strings in the piano vibrate as part of the picture fades to black and the rest appears in a box in the center of the screen. The "dts" logo appears in the box and shines, as "(R)" appears at the top right part of it, with "DIGITAL SOUND" below it, and another defunct website link appears below. | '''Trailer''': In a pillar box, a series of spiral strings appear in a piano.

*'''Extended Version''': Same as above, but the sound testing sounds and the ocean sounds are time-stretched. When the camera pans down into the ocean, an extended version of the music plays. | *'''Extended Version''': Same as above, but the sound testing sounds and the ocean sounds are time-stretched.

'''Editor's Note''': This may surprise you at first, but it’s a great logo. However, for a time, the release was mistakenly believed to be 2017. | '''Editor's Note''': This may surprise you at first, but it’s a great logo. However, for a time, the release was mistakenly believed to be 2017. | ||
