Getting Started Simple Version Connections Playback (Basic) Settings Playback (Advanced) ENGLISH Dolby Pro Logic gz Dolby Pro Logic gz introduces a new dimension to Home Entertainment through the addition of a pair of front height channels. Compatible with stereo, 5.1-channel and 7.1-channel content, Dolby Pro Logic gz provides enhanced spaciousness, depth and dimension to movies, concert video and video game playback while maintaining the full integrity of the source mix. Dolby Pro Logic gz identifies and decodes spatial cues that occur naturally in all content, directing this information to the front height channels, complementing the performance of left and right surround sound speakers. Content that is encoded with Dolby Pro Logic gz height channel information can be even more revealing, with perceptually discrete height channel information bringing an exciting new dimension to home entertainment. Dolby Pro Logic gz, with front height channels is also an ideal alternative for households that cannot support the placement of back surround speakers of a typical 7.1-channel system but may have bookshelf space available to support the addition of height speakers. Dolby Virtual Speaker This is technology from Dolby Laboratories. It is a surround system using just two speakers to create the effect of surround sound, with sound even coming from behind you as if it was a 5.1channel system. Downmix This function converts the number of channels of surround audio to less number of channels and plays back. DTS This is an abbreviation of Digital Theater System, which is a digital audio system developed by DTS. When playing back audio by connecting this system with a device such as DTS amplifier, accurate sound field position and realistic sound effect as if you are in a movie theater can be obtained.

Dynamic range The difference between the maximum undistorted sound level and the minimum sound level that is discernible above the noise emitted by the device. F Finalise This is processing that enables playing back of disc of BD/DVD/CD, which was recorded using a recorder, by other players. H HDCP When transmitting digital signals between devices, this copyright protection technology encrypts the signals to prevent content from being copied without authorization. HDMI This is an abbreviation of High-Definition Multimedia Interface, which is an AV digital interface that can be connected to a TV or amplifier. Video signal and audio signal can be connected using 1 cable. I Interlacing (interlaced scanning) This conventional method used to project images on a TV displays 1 frame of image in half and half, respectively as 2 fields. Interactive audio Audio such as click sound that is generated during operation and is recorded in the title of BD-Videos. Explanation of Terms J JPEG (Joint Photo graphic Experts Group) This is a still picture data compression standard. Its ability to reduce the size of a file with relatively little deterioration in image quality means that it is widely used for storing images in video cameras, etc. L LFE This is an abbreviation of Low Frequency Effect, which is an output channel that emphasizes low frequency effect sound. Surround audio is intensified by outputting 20 Hz to 120 Hz deep bass. Linear PCM This signal is uncompressed PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) signal. This is the same system as the CD audio but this uses 192 kHz, 96 kHz, and 48 kHz sampling frequencies in Blu-ray Disc or DVD and provides higher sound quality than CD. M MP3 (MPEG AudioPlayer 3) This is an internationally standardized audio data compression scheme, using the "MPEG-1" video compression standard. It compresses the data volume to about one eleventh its original size while maintaining sound quality equivalent to a music CD. MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group), MPEG-2, MPEG-4 These are the names for digital compression format standards used for the encoding of video and audio. Video standards include "MPEG-1 Video", "MPEG2 Video", "MPEG-4 Visual", "MPEG-4 AVC". Audio standards include "MPEG-1 Audio", "MPEG-2 Audio", "MPEG-4 AAC". Multi-zone This is a function for sharing audio and video from an AV device across several rooms.
