How MTS Works
The first channel is the stereo difference (left minus right), used to add stereophonic sound to the existing monophonic (the left plus right stereo sum) audio track.
In other words the normal mono television audio consists of L+R information. A second signal (MTS) rides on top of this mono carrier wave. This MTS signal consists of L minus R.
- When the two audio channels are added together, or summed (L+R plus L-R), the left channel is derived.
- When the second audio channel is subtracted from the first by a phase reversal (L+R minus L-R), the right channel is derived.

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein. There is in each of these works an act of invention, an intellectual step, or short series of steps taken; that act or step is the spiritual act; all the rest is mere repetition of the same a thousand times.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
