Home Theater Glossary 1080i. High definition signal with 1080 scanning lines and interlaced ("i") scanning. This contains up to six times the detail of conventional TV pictures. 16:9 Aspect ratio screen. This is 33% wider than the standard 4:3 aspect ratio screen. It's closer to the proportions of widescreen movies and perfect for Digital TV broadcasting, anamorphic DVD-Video titles and other state-of-the-art 16:9 programming sources. 2-Tuner Picture-in-Picture. Simultaneously displays two shows, with both TV pictures generated by internal tuners. 32-Bit surround sound decoding. Far more accurate, for higher fidelity than the conventional, 24-bit decoding. 3D digital comb filter. A circuit that processes composite video signals, stripping the color signal (chrominance) apart from the black-and-white signal (luminance). To maintain picture quality, this filter compares each horizontal scanning line with the lines above and below-and with the corresponding lines on the previous and subsequent video frames. You get higher horizontal resolution, higher vertical resolution and reduced video noise. 4:3 Aspect Ratio. The proportions of a conventional television screen. The 4:3 aspect ratio is squarish compared to the widescreen, 16:9 aspect ratio. 480i. The conventional, Standard Definition television signal. This contains 480 active scanning lines (of a total 525 lines) displayed at 30 frames per second. Interlaced ("i") scanning divides each frame into two fields of 240 lines. Each field lasts for 1/60 second. 480p. Enhanced definition TV signal with 480 active scanning lines, progressive ("p") scanning and a rate of 60 frames per second. Used in both digital television broadcasting and progressive scan DVD players. 5.1-Channel Inputs. For receivers, enables you to connect a multi-channel source, such as a Super Audio Compact Disc player. So you can enjoy high-resolution surround sound for music that's a giant step closer to the original performance. The inputs allow for flexibility now and in the future. 6.1-Channel Inputs. Accommodate the latest sources with 6.1-channel surround sound. The sixth channel drives a Surround-Back speaker. 720p. High Definition TV signal with 720 active scanning lines and progressive ("p") scanning. Used in digital television broadcasting. A/V inputs.
