80ENGLISHExplanation of termsAAdobe RGB color / Adobe YCC601 colorLike x.v.Color, each of these color spaces definesa palette of available colors that is larger than thetraditional RGB color model.Audyssey Dynamic EQ®Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem ofdeteriorating sound quality as volume is decreasedby taking into account human perception and roomacoustics. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandemwith Audyssey MultEQ® to provide well-balancedsound for every listener at any volume level.Audyssey Dynamic Volume®Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem oflarge variations in volume level between televisionprograms, commercials, and between the soft andloud passages of movies. Audyssey Dynamic EQis integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as theplayback volume is adjusted automatically, theperceived bass response, tonal balance, surroundimpression, and dialog clarity remain the same.Audyssey MultEQAudyssey MultEQ is a room equalization solutionthat calibrates any audio system so that it canachieve optimum performance for every listenerin a large listening area. Based on several roommeasurements, MultEQ calculates an equalizationsolution that corrects for both time and frequencyresponse problems in the listening area and alsoperforms a fully automated surround system setup.Auto Lip SyncIf you connect the receiver to a TV that supports theAuto Lip Sync function, it can automatically correctdelay between the audio and video.DDeep ColorThis technology allows expression of more numberof colors than the conventional 8 bits and canreproduce colors close to natural ones without colorstreak.Dolby DigitalDolby Digital is a multi-channel digital signal formatdeveloped by Dolby Laboratories.A total of 5.1 channels are played: 3 front channels(“FL” , “FR” and “C”), 2 surround channels(“SL” and “SR”) and the “LFE” channel for lowfrequencies.Because of this, there is no crosstalk betweenchannels and a realistic sound field with a “three-dimensional” feeling (sense of distance, movementand positioning) is achieved.A realistic, powerful sense of presence is achievedwhen playing movie sources in AV rooms as well.Dolby Digital EXDolby Digital EX is a 6.1-channel surround formatproposed by Dolby Laboratories that allows usersto enjoy in their homes the “DOLBY DIGITALSURROUND EX” audio format jointly developed byDolby Laboratories and Lucas Films.The 6.1 channels of sound, including surround backchannels, provide improved sound positioning andexpression of space.Dolby Digital PlusDolby Digital Plus is an improved Dolby Digital signalformat that is compatible with up to 7.1 channelsof discrete digital sound and also improves soundquality thanks to extra data bit rate performance.It is upwardly compatible with conventional DolbyDigital, so it offers greater flexibility in response tothe source signal and the conditions of the playbackequipment.Dolby TrueHDDolby TrueHD is a high definition audio technologydeveloped by Dolby Laboratories, using losslesscoding technology to faithfully reproduce the soundof the studio master.This format is compatible with a maximum samplingfrequency of 96 kHz and up to 7.1 channels, so it isused for applications particularly prioritizing soundquality.Dolby Pro Logic gDolby Pro Logic g is a matrix decoding technologydeveloped by Dolby Laboratories.Regular music such as that on CDs is encoded into5 channels to achieve an excellent surround effect.The surround channel signals are converted intostereo and full band signals (with a frequencyresponse of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) to createa “three-dimensional” sound image offering a richsense of presence for all stereo sources.Dolby Pro Logic gxDolby Pro Logic gx is a further improved version ofthe Dolby Pro Logic g matrix decoding technology.Audio signals recorded in 2 channels are decodedto achieve a natural sound with up to 7.1 channels.There are three modes: “Music” suited for playingmusic, “Cinema” suited for playing movies, and“Game” which is optimized for playing games.Dolby Pro Logic gzDolby Pro Logic gz introduces a new dimension toHome Entertainment through the addition of a pairof front height channels. Compatible with stereo,5.1-channel and 7.1-channel content, Dolby ProLogic gz provides enhanced spaciousness, depthand dimension to movies, concert video and videogame playback while maintaining the full integrityof the source mix.Dolby Pro Logic gz identifies and decodes spatialcues that occur naturally in all content, directingthis information to the front height channels,complementing the performance of left and rightsurround sound speakers. Content that is encodedwith Dolby Pro Logic gz height channel informationcan be even more revealing, with perceptuallydiscrete height channel information bringing anexciting new dimension to home entertainment.Dolby Pro Logic gz, with front height channels isalso an ideal alternative for households that cannotsupport the placement of back surround speakersof a typical 7.1-channel system but may havebookshelf space available to support the addition ofheight speakers.DownmixThis function converts the number of channels ofsurround audio to less number of channels andplays back.DTSThis is an abbreviation of Digital Theater System,which is a digital audio system developed by DTS.When playing back audio by connecting this systemwith a device such as DTS amplifier, accurate soundfield position and realistic sound effect as if you arein a movie theater can be obtained.DTS 96/24DTS 96/24 is a digital audio format enabling highsound quality playback in 5.1 channels with asampling frequency of 96 kHz and 24 bit quantizationon DVD-Video.DTS Digital SurroundDTS Digital Surround is the standard digital surroundformat of DTS, Inc., compatible with a samplingfrequency of 44.1 or 48 kHz and up to 5.1 channelsof digital discrete surround sound.DTS-ES™ Discrete 6.1DTS-ES™ Discrete 6.1 is a 6.1-channel discretedigital audio format adding a surround back (SB)channel to the DTS digital surround sound.Decoding of conventional 5.1-channel audio signalsis also possible according to the decoder.DTS-ES™ Matrix 6.1DTS-ES™ Matrix 6.1 is a 6.1-channel discrete digitalaudio format inserting a surround back (SB) channelto the DTS digital surround sound through matrixencoding. Decoding of conventional 5.1-channelaudio signals is also possible according to thedecoder.DTS ExpressDTS Express is an audio format supporting low bitrates (max. 5.1 channels, 24 to 256 kbps).DTS-HDThis audio technology provides higher sound qualityand enhanced functionality than the conventionalDTS and is adopted as an optional audio for Blu-rayDisc. This technology supports multi-channel, highdata transfer speed, high sampling frequency, andlossless audio playback. Maximum 7.1-channels aresupported in Blu-ray Disc.DTS-HD High Resolution AudioDTS-HD High Resolution Audio is an improvedversion of the conventional DTS, DTS-ES andDTS 96/24 signals formats, compatible withsampling frequencies of 96 or 48 kHz and up to7.1 channels of discrete digital sound. High databit rate performance provides high quality sound.This format is fully compatible with conventionalproducts, including conventional DTS digitalsurround 5.1-channel data.DTS-HD Master AudioDTS-HD Master Audio is DTS, Inc’s lossless audioformat compatible with up to 96 kHz/7.1 channels.The lossless audio coding technology faithfullyreproduces the sound of the studio master. It is fullycompatible with conventional products, includingconventional DTS digital surround 5.1-channel data.
