Audio formats[edit][]

In the European and Japanese releases of this box set, the CDs are hybrid SACD/CDs. The SACD layer is a multichannel surround sound remix.[2]

In the Canadian and U.S. releases of this box set, standard CDs with no SACD layer are included.[3]

In all versions of the box set, the DVDs are DVD-Video format (not DVD-Audio), although they contain both audio and video tracks. These DVDs include three audio mixes: DTS 5.1-channel surround soundDolby Digital 5.1-channel surround sound, and Dolby Digital stereo.[4] The DTS surround sound is a slightly compressed version of the surround sound on the SACDs,[5] and the Dolby surround sound is a slightly inferior quality to the DTS.[6]

All of the audio tracks on these CDs were remixed in stereo and surround sound by producer Nick Davis.
