There is disclosed a method comprising receiving a set of coefficients; and determining whether a sign of a coefficient in the set of coefficients can be embedded in a bitstream. If the determining indicates that the sign of the coefficient in the set of coefficients can be embedded in the bitstream, an indication of the embedded sign is inserted into the bitstream. There is also disclosed a method comprising receiving a set of decoded coefficients; and determining whether a bitstream contains an indication of an embedded sign of a coefficient. If the determining indicates that the bitstream contains the indication of an embedded sign of a coefficient, the sign is determined on the basis of the decoded coefficients; and the sign of the coefficient is modified on the basis of the determined sign.
