Glossary

Digital Cinema Auto Calibration

Digital Cinema Auto Calihration was developed by Sony to automatically measure and adjusts the speaker settings to your listening environment in a short period of time.

Digital Direct Twin Drive Subwoofer

Utilizing Sony proprietary S-master technology, the Digital Direct Twin Drive Subwoofer llzatures two S-master Digital Amplifiers that provide dedicated power to a strategically located subwoofcr tk)r astounding sound perlk)rmance.

Easy to set up, Digital Direct Twin

[)rive Subwoofcr provides a stable sound field over a much larger listening area without having to adjust frequency levels.

Dolby Digital

This movie theater sound l\)rmat is more advanced than Dolby Surround Pro Logic. in this lormat, tire surround speakers output stereo sound with an expanded fi'equeucy range, and a subwool'cr channel for deep bass is independently provided.

This format is also called "5.1" with the subwoofer channel designed as the 0.1 channel (since it limctions only when a deep bass effect is needed).

All six channels in this [i)rmat are recorded separately lot superior chmmel separation.

Furthermore,

since all the signals are processed digitally, less signal degradation occurs.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-handwidttl output channels from 2 channel sources. This is done usiug an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.

•

Movie mode

The Movie mode is

{_)r

use with stere() television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby

Surround.

The result is enhanced souud field directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1 =channel sound.

• Music mode

The Music mode is lor use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space.

Dolby Surround Pro Logic

As one method of decoding Dolby Surround,

Dolby Surround Pro Logic produces four channels from 2 channel sound.

Compared with the l\)rmer Dolby Surround system, Dolby

Surround Pro Logic reproduces left-to-right panning more naturally and localizes sounds more precisely. To take fi_ll advantage

of Dolby

Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of surround speakers and a center speaker.

The surround speakers output nlonaural sound.

DTS

Digital audio compression technology developed by DTS, Inc. This technology conforms to 5.l-channel surround.

Tiffs format comprises of stere() rear channel and there is discrete subwoofcr channel in this format.

DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete ctmnnels of high quality digital audio. The good channel separation is realized due to the all channel data being recorded discretely and processed in digitally.

HDMI (High-Definition

Interface)

Multimedia

HDMI is an interface that supports both video and audio on a single digital counectiou, allowing you to enjoy high quality digital picture and sound. The HDMI specification supports HDCP (High=bandwidth Digital

Content Protection), a copy protection technology that incorporates coding technology for digital video signals.

Interlace format

(Interlaced scanning)

The Interlace limnat is the NTSC standard method l\)r displaying TV images at 30 frames per second.

Each flame is scanned twice

-

alternately between the even numbered scanning lines and then odd numbered scanning lines, at

60 times per second.

Parental Control

A function of the DVD to limit playhack of the disc by the age of the users according to the limitation level in each country.

The limitation

D..

D.

8"

103G8

104G8 varies fronl disc to disc: when it is activated, playback is completely prohibited, violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes alld so

OU.

Progressive

(sequential format scanning)

]n contrast to tile ]nterlace l\trmat, the progressive fi_rmat can reproduce 50 - 60 flames per second by reproducing all scanning lines

(525 lines for tile NTSC system).

The overall picture quality increases and still images, text and horizontal lines appear sharper.

This format is compatible with the 525 or 625 progressive l\_rmat.

S-AIR

(Sony Audio Interactive frequency)

Radio

Recem times have seen tile rapid spread of DVD media, Digital Broadcasting, and other highquality media.

To ensure that the subtle nuances of these highquality media are transmitted with no deterioration, Sony has developed a technology called "S-AIR" l\_r the radio transmission of digital audio signals with no compression, and has incorporated this technology into the EZW=

RT 1()/EZW-T 1(t0.

This technology transfers digital audio signals with no compression using the 2.4 GHz band range of 1SM band (Industrial, Scientific, and

Medical band), such as wireless LANs and

Bluetooth

applications.

Super Audio CD

Super Audio CD is a new high-quality audio disc standard where music is recorded ill the

DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format

(conventional CD is recorded in the PCM l\_rmat). The DSD lormat, using a sampling frequency 64 times higher than that of a conventional CD, and with l-bit quantization, achieves both a wide frequency range and a wide dynamic range across tile audible frequency range, and so provides music reproduction extremely fuithfld to the original sound.

• Super Audio CD types

There are two types of discs, depending on tile

Super Audio CD layer and CD layer combination.

•

Super Audio CD layer: A high-density signal layer for Super Audio CD

• CD layerlt: A layer that is readable by a

conventional CD player

Single layer disc

(a disc with a single Super Audio CD layer) layer

Hybrid disc 2t

(a disc with a Super Audio CD layer and a CD layer) layer 31

Super Audio CD layer 3)

A Super Audio CD layer consists of the 2 channel area or tile multi-channel area.

• 2 channel area: All area ill which 2 channel stereo tracks are recorded

•

Multi-channel area: All area in which multichannel (up to 5.1 channels) tracks are recorded
