About speakers magnetically
(to prevent irregularity screen) occurring shielded color on the TV
The subwoo_r in this svstem is magnetically shielded to prevent magnetic leakage. However, some leakage may occur, as a high-strength magnet is employed.
If the subwoofer is used with a CRT-based TV or projector, install the subwoofer at least 0.3 meter (lft) from the TV set. If it is installed too close, color irregularity may occur on the screen.
If color irregularity occurs, turn offthe TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes.
If color irregularity occurs again, place the subwoof_r farther away from the TV set. If color irregularity still occurs after performing the above, make sure that no magnetic object is placed near the subwoof_r.
Color irregularity may occur as a result of interaction between the subwoofer and the magnetic object.
Examples of possible sources of magnetic interference include: magnetic latches on a TV stand, etc., healthcare devices, toys, etc.
Specifying the speaker parameters
To obtain the best possible surround sound, first specify the distance of the speakers from your listening position, then set the level and balance.
Use the test tone to adjust the speaker level and balance to the same level.
Select [SPEAKER SETUP[ m the setup display.

Creates 5 sets of virtual speakers surrounding the listener from a single pair of actual surround speakers.
• Screen Depth Matching
In a movie theater, sound seems to come from inside the image reflected on the movie screen.
This element creates the same sensation in your listening room by shifting the sound of the front speakers "into" the screen.
• Cinema Studio Reverberation
Reproduces the reverberations peculiar to a movie theater. Cinema Studio EX is the integrated mode which operates these elements simultaneously.
Notes
• The virtual speaker effect may cause increased noise in the playback si_:al.
• When listening with so:rod fields that employ vim_al speakers, _u will not be able to hear any sound coming directly from the sm:ound speakers.

CD containing MP3 audio tracks or JPEG files.
Chapter
Subdivision of a title on a DVD. A title is composed of several chapters.
Digital Cinema Sound (DCS)
This is the generic name of the surround sound produced by digital signal processing technology developed by Sony. Unlike previous surround sound fields mainly directed at the reproduction of nmsic, Digital Cinema Sound is designed specifically for the er_joyrnent of movies.
Digital Infrared Audio Transmission
Recent times have been wimess to the rapid spread of DVDs, Digital Broadcasting Satellite
Receiver and other high-quality media. In order to ensure that the subtle nuances endowed by these high-quality media would be transmitted with no accompanying deterioration, Son?: developed a technology called "Digital Infrared
Audio Transmission" tSr the infrared transmission of digital audio signals using no compression, and it introduced it into the DAV-
LY1.
This technology transfers digital audio signals using no compression inside the subcarrier frequency band allocated by the IEC
(International Electronic (ommittee) and
JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information
Techno!ogy
Indnstries Association)/br hi-fi audio transmission applications.

Dolby Digital
This movie theater sound format is more advanced than Dolby Surround Pro Logic. In this forlnat, the surrotmd speakers output stereo sound with an expanded frequency range, and a subwoofer channel for deep bass is independently provided. This format is also called "5.1," with the subwoofer channel designated as the 0.1 channel (since it fimctions only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six channels in this format are recorded separately for superior channel separation. Furthermore, since all the signals are processed digitally, less signal degradation occurs.
Dolby Digital EX
An enhanced compatible tbrnrat of Dolby
Digital 5.1, developed by Dolby Laboratories and Lucasfihn THX, which can be used for
6.1 (three surround speakers) channel playback, using matrix encoding.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using 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 for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby
Surround. The result is enhanced sound field directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.
• Music mode
The Music mode is tbr use with aW 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 tbur channels from two-channel sound. (ompared with the fomrer Dolby Surround system, Dolby
Surround Pro Logic reproduces left-to-right panning more naturally and localizes sounds more precisely.
To take full advantage of Dolby
Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of surround speakers and a center speaker.
The surround speakers output monaural sound.
DTS
Digital audio compression technology developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. This technology conforms to 5. l-channel surround.
This format comprises of stereo rear channels and a discrete subwoofer channel.
DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio. The good channel separation is realized due to all channel data being recorded discretely and processed digitally.
DVD
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving picntres even though its diameter is the same as a CD.
The data capacity of a single-layer and singlesided DVD, at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times that ofa CD. Furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 tbrmat, one of a worldwide standard of digital compression technology.
The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 of its original size. DVD also uses variable rate coding technology that processes allocated data according to the status of the picture.
The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as well as in PCM, allowing you to er_ioy more realistic audio presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the muhi-angle, muhilingual, and Parental
Control functions are provided with the DVD.
File
Section of a picture on a data CD containing
JPEG image files.
Film based software, software
Video based
DVDs can be classified as Fihn based or Video based software.
Film based DVDs contain the same images (24 frames per second) that are shown at movie theaters.
Video based DVDs, such as television dramas or sit-come, displays images at 30 frames (or 60 fields) per second.

Index (Super Audio CD, CD)Nideo
Index (VIDEO CD)
A munber _at divides a track into sections to easily locate the point you want on a VIDEO
CD, Super Audio CD, or CD. Depending on the disc, no indexes may be recorded.
Interlace format
(Interlaced scanning)
The Interlace format is the NTSC standard method for displaying TV images at 30 frames per second.
Each frame is scanned twice alternately between the even munbered scanning lines and then odd nmnbered scanning lines, at
60 times per second.
Multi-angle function
Varions angles of a scene, or viewpoints of the video camera are recorded on some DVDs.
Multilingual function
Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a picture are recorded on some DVDs.
Parental Control
A _nction of the DVD to limit playback of _e disc by the age of the users according to the limitation level in each country.
The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback is completely prohibited, violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes and so on.
Playback Control (PBC)
Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0) to control playback.
By using menu screens recorded on VIDEO
CDs with PB( functions, you can el!joy playing simple interactive programs, programs with search fi.mctions, and so on.
Progressive
(sequential format scanning)
In contrast to the Interlace format, the progressive lbrmat can reproduce 60 frames per second by reproducing all scanning lines (525 lines for the NTSC system).
The overall picture quality increases and still images, text and horizontal lines appear sharper.
This format is compatible with the 525 progressive Ibrmat.
Region Code
This system is used to protect copyrights.
A region number is allocated on each DVD system or DVD disc according to the sales region.
Each region code is shown on the system as well as on the disc packaging.
The system can play the discs that match its region code. The system can also play discs with the "['_" mark. Even when the region code is not shown on the DVD, the region limit mav still be activated.
Scene
On a VIDEO CD with PB( (playback control) functions, the menu screens, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called
"scenes."
Super Audio CD
A Super Audio CD disc can reprodnce sounds that are extremely faithful to the original sound by use of DSD (Direct Stream Digital) technology.
This technology utilizes a sampling frequency of 2.8224 MHz, which is 64 times that of a conventional CD, and 1-bit quantization that enables the disc to hold 4 times the amount of infomlation that a standard PCM format CD can hold. Super Audio CDs are divided into the following types.
• Super Audio CD (single layer disc)
This disc consists of a single HD layer*.
* High density signal layer tbr the Super Audio CD
HD (high density) layer
• Snper Andio CD (dual layer disc)
This disc consists of dual HD layers and is capable of extended play over long periods.
Also, as the dual layer disc consists of dual HD layers on one side only, you do not have to turn the disc over dnring playback.
• Super Audio CD + CD (Hybrid disc)
This disc consists of an HD layer and a CD layer. Also, as the dnal layers are on one side only, you do not have to turn the disc over during playback.
You can play this CD layer using a conventional CD player.
• 2 channel + Multi-channel Snper Audio CD
This disc consists ofa 2 channel playback area and a muhi-channel playback area.
2 channel playback area
MaN-channel playback area
Title
The longest section of a picture or music feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or the entire album in audio software.
Track
Section of a picture or a mnsic piece on a Snper
Audio (D, CD, VIDEO CD or MP3. An album is composed of several tracks (MP3 only).
VIDEO CD
A compact disc that contains moving pictures.
The picture data uses the MPEG 1 fore, at, one of a worldwide standard of digital compression technology.
The picttLre data is compressed to about 1/140 of its original size. Consequently, a
12 cm VIDEO CD can contain up to 74 minntes of moving pictures.
VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio data.
Sounds outside the range of human hearing are compressed while sounds we can hear are not compressed.
VIDEO CDs can hold 6 times the audio inlbrmation of conventional audio CDs.
There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.
• Version 1.1 : You can play only moving pictures and sounds.
• Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution still pictures and enjoy PBC functions.
This svstem conl_rms to both versions.
