All other titles (no background) are releases scheduled for future months.

All titles are in the CLV format and in color unless otherwise noted.

All AC-3 Dolby Digital titles require the use of a decoder to hear the AC-3 Dolby Digital tracks.
Viewers without AC-3 decoders can still listen to the regular digital tracks and the left analog track.
(The AC-3 signal is contained on the right analog track.)

All DTS titles require the use of a DTS decoder to hear the DTS tracks.
Viewers without DTS decoders can only listen to the analog tracks.
(The DTS signal is contained on the entire digital track.)
Note: A DTS decoder is necessary to get the best out of DTS discs. Viewers not planning on
purchasing a DTS decoder should definitely stick with regular or AC-3 Dolby Digital titles.
