PREPARATION PLAYBACK Glossary DTS Digital surround sound system developed by DTS, Inc., which provides 5.1 channel audio. With an abundance of audio data, it is able to provide authentic-sounding effects. DTS-HD High Resolution Audio DTS-HD High Resolution Audio is a high resolution audio technology developed for high-definition disc-based media including Blu-ray Disc. Selected as an audio standard for Blu-ray Disc, this technology delivers sound that is virtually indistinguishable from the original, offering a high-definition home theater experience. Supporting bitrates up to 6.0 Mbps for Blu-ray Disc, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio can carry up to 7.1 discrete channels of 24-bit/96 kHz audio simultaneously. DTS-HD Master Audio The lossless high quality audio format created for an optical disc such as Blu-lay Disc. It is selected as an audio standard for Blu-ray Disc. Supporting bitrates up to 24.5 Mbps for Blu-ray Disc, DTS-HD High Master Audio can carry up to 7.1 discrete channels of 24-bit/96 kHz audio simultaneously. Sampling frequency The number of sampling (process for digitalizing analog signals) per second. In principle, the higher the sampling rate, the wider the frequency range that can be played back, and the higher the quantized bit rate, the finer the sound that can be reproduced. Sound beam The Digital Sound Projector features a number of compact beam speakers installed in orderly rows. Optimized audio signals are output as sound from each speaker for precise directional focusing of sounds. These focused sounds are called sound beams. x.v.Color x. v. Color is a type of video signal that can be transmitted by the HDMI jacks of this unit. It is a more extensive color space than sRGB, and allows the expression of colors that could not be expressed before. While remaining compatible with the color gamut of sRGB standards, "x.v.Color" expands the color space and can thus produce more vivid, natural images. It is particularly effective for still pictures and computer graphics. HDMI HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the industry supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. When used in combination with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), HDMI provides a secure audio/video interface that meets the security requirements of content providers and system operators. PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog audio signal is digitized, recorded, and transmitted without using any compression. This is used as a method of recording CDs and DVD audio. The PCM system uses a technique for sampling the size of the analog signal per very small unit of time. Standing for pulse code modulation, the analog signal is encoded as pulses and then modulated for recording. SETTINGS TROUBLESHOOTING APPENDIX 73 En
