x Dolby Pro Logic IIx Technology for 7.1 channel (or 6.1 channel) playback. Along with audio encoded in Dolby Digital Surround EX, 5.1 channel Dolby Digital encoded audio can be reproduced in 7.1 channel (or 6.1 channel). Furthermore, existing stereo recorded content can also be reproduced in 7.1 channel (or 6.1 channel). x Dolby Surround (Dolby Pro Logic) Audio processing technology developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Center and mono surround information is matrixed into two stereo channels. When reproduced, audio is decoded and output in 4 channel surround sound. This is the most common audio processing method for DVD-video. x DTS 96/24 A high sound quality digital signal format. It records audio at a sampling frequency and bit rate of 96kHz/24bit which is the highest possible for DVD-video. The number of playback channels varies depending on the software. x DTS Digital Surround Digital audio encoding/decoding technology for theaters developed by DTS, Inc. It compresses audio less than Dolby Digital, delivering a higher quality sound reproduction. x DTS-ES Format for 6.1 channel playback with surround back information. There are two modes, "Discrete 6.1" which records all channels independently, and "Matrix 6.1" which matrixes surround back channel into LS (left surround) and RS (right surround) channels. It is ideal for playback of motion picture soundtracks. x DTS Neo:6 This technology converts 2 channel stereo recorded audio for 6.1 channel playback. There are two modes to select according to the playback source or your preference, CINEMA for movies, and MUSIC for stereo sources such as music. x HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an interface that supports both video and audio on a single digital connection, allowing you to enjoy high quality digital picture and sound. The HDMI specification supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection), a copy protection technology that incorporates coding technology for digital video signals. x PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) A method of converting analog audio to digital audio for easy enjoyment of digital sound. x Sampling frequency To convert analog audio to digital, analog data should be quantified. This process is called sampling, and the number of times per second the analog data is quantified is called the sampling frequency. A standard music CD stores data quantified at 44,100 times per second, which is expressed as a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz. Generally speaking, a higher sampling frequency means better sound quality. x x.v.Color x.v.Color is a more familiar term for the xvYCC standard proposed by Sony, and is a trademark of Sony. xvYCC is an international standard for color space in video. This standard can express a wider color range than the currently used broadcast standard. Additional Information 83US
