Setting details

80Hz / 90Hz / 100Hz / 110Hz / 120Hz / 150Hz / 200Hz / 250Hz : Set LFE signal range playback.

LFE : The low range signal of the channel set to “Small” speaker size is added to the LFE signal output from the subwoofer.

LFE+Main : The low range signal of all channels is added to the LFE signal output from the subwoofer. This is usually the best setting for most systems.

• “Crossovers” can be set when the “Bass” – “SW Mode” ( vpage 36

) setting is “LFE+Main”, or when you have a speaker that is set to

“Small”.

• The default crossover frequency is “80Hz”, which will work best with the widest variety of speakers. When using very small speakers, however, you can choose a higher setting based on the specified frequency response of the speakers. If the speaker has a specified frequency response of 120 Hz – 20 kHz (as an example), then choose the 120 Hz crossover frequency.

• For speakers set to “Small”, low frequency content below the crossover frequency is attenuated to the speakers and the low bass content is then re-delivered to the subwoofer(s), or the front (L/R) speakers if they have been set to Large.

• “SW Mode” can be set when “Speaker Config.” – “Subwoofer”

(

vpage 35

) is set to other than “No”.

• Play music or a movie source and select the mode offering the strongest bass.

• Select “LFE+Main” if you want the bass signals to always be produced from the subwoofer.

NOTE

If “Front” and “Center” for “Speaker Config.” are set to “Large”, and

“SW Mode” is set to “LPF for LFE”, no sound may be output from the subwoofers, depending on the input signal or selected surround mode.

Explanation of terms

A

Adobe RGB color, Adobe YCC601 color

The color space defined by Adobe Systems Inc.

Because it is a wider color space than RGB, it can produce more vivid and natural images.

D

Deep Color

An imaging technology supported by HDMI. Unlike

RGB, which uses 8 bits (256 shades) per color, it can use 10 bits (1024 shades), 12 bits (4096 shades), or

16 bits (65536 shades) to produce colors in higher definition.

Both devices linked via HDMI must support Deep

Color.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a multi-channel digital signal format developed 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 low frequencies.

Because of this, there is no crosstalk between channels and a realistic sound field with a

“threedimensional” feeling (sense of distance, movement and positioning) is achieved. This delivers a thrilling surround sound experience in the home.

Dolby Digital Plus

Dolby Digital Plus is an improved Dolby Digital signal format that is compatible with up to 7.1 channels of discrete digital sound and also improves sound quality thanks to extra data bit rate performance.

It is upwardly compatible with conventional Dolby

Digital, so it offers greater flexibility in response to the source signal and the conditions of the playback device.

Dolby Pro Logic

g

Dolby Pro Logic g is a matrix decoding technology developed by Dolby Laboratories.

Regular music such as that on CDs is encoded into

5 channels to achieve an excellent surround effect.

The surround channel signals are converted into stereo and full band signals (with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) to create a “three-dimensional” sound image offering a rich sense of presence for all stereo sources.

Dolby TrueHD

Dolby TrueHD is a high definition audio technology developed by Dolby Laboratories, using lossless coding technology to faithfully reproduce the sound of the studio master.

This format provides the facility to support up to

8 audio channels with a sampling frequency of

96kHz/24bit resolution and up to 6 audio channels with a sampling frequency of 192kHz/24bit resolution. Dolby TrueHD is adopted for applications that put very high importance on sound quality.

Downmix

This function converts the number of channels of surround audio to a lower number of channels and plays back according to the system’s configuration.

DTS

This is an abbreviation of Digital Theater System, which is a digital audio system developed by DTS.

DTS delivers a powerful and dynamic surround sound experience, and is found in the world’s finest movie theaters and screening rooms.

DTS 96/24

DTS 96/24 is a digital audio format enabling high sound quality playback in 5.1 channels with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz and 24 bit quantization on DVD-Video.

DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround is the standard digital surround format of DTS, Inc., compatible with a sampling frequency of 44.1 or 48 kHz and up to 5.1 channels of digital discrete surround sound.

DTS Express

DTS Express is an audio format supporting low bit rates (max. 5.1 channels, 24 to 256 kbps).

DTS-HD

This audio technology provides higher sound quality and enhanced functionality than the conventional

DTS and is adopted as an optional audio for Blu-ray

Disc. This technology supports multi-channel, high data transfer speed, high sampling frequency, and lossless audio playback. Maximum 7.1-channels are supported in Blu-ray Disc.

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio is an improved version of the conventional DTS, DTS-ES and

DTS 96/24 signals formats, compatible with sampling frequencies of 96 or 48 kHz and up to

7.1 channels of discrete digital sound. High data bit rate performance provides high quality sound.

This format is fully compatible with conventional products, including conventional DTS digital surround 5.1-channel data.

DTS-HD Master Audio

DTS-HD Master Audio is a lossless audio format created by Digital Theater System (DTS). This format provides the facility to support up to 8 audio channels with a sampling frequency of 96kHz/24bit resolution and up to 6 audio channels with a sampling frequency of 192kHz/24bit resolution.

It is fully compatible with conventional products, including conventional DTS digital surround

5.1-channel data.

DTS NEO:6™ Surround

DTS NEO:6™ is a matrix decoding technology for achieving 6.1-channel surround playback with 2-channel sources. It includes “DTS NEO:6

Cinema” suited for playing movies and “DTS

NEO:6 Music” suited for playing music.

Dynamic range

The difference between the maximum undistorted sound level and the minimum discernible level above the noise emitted by the device.

H

L

LFE

This is an abbreviation of Low Frequency Effect, which is an output channel that emphasizes low frequency effect sound. Surround audio is intensified by outputting 20 Hz to 120 Hz deep bass to the system subwoofer.

M

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3)

This is an internationally standardized audio data compression scheme, using the “MPEG-1” video compression standard. It compresses the data volume to about one eleventh its original size while maintaining sound quality equivalent to a music CD.

MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group), MPEG-2,

MPEG-4

These are the names for digital compression format standards used for the encoding of video and audio.

Video standards include “MPEG-1 Video”, “MPEG-

2 Video”, “MPEG-4 Visual”, “MPEG-4 AVC”. Audio standards include “MPEG-1 Audio”, “MPEG-2

Audio”, “MPEG-4 AAC”.

P

Protection circuit

This is a function to prevent damage to devices within the power supply when an abnormality such as an overload, excess voltage occurs or over temperature for any reason.

In this unit, the power indicator blinks and the unit enters standby mode when an abnormality occurs.

HDCP

When transmitting digital signals between devices, this copyright protection technology encrypts the signals to prevent content from being copied without authorization.

HDMI

This is an abbreviation of High-Definition Multimedia

Interface, which is an AV digital interface that can be connected to a TV or amplifier. Video signals and audio signals can be connected using a single cable.

S

Sampling frequency

Sampling involves taking a reading of a sound wave

(analog signal) at regular intervals and expressing the height of the wave at each reading in digitized format (producing a digital signal).

The number of readings taken in one second is called the “sampling frequency”. The larger the value, the closer the reproduced sound is to the original.

Speaker impedance

This is an AC resistance value, indicated in Ω

(ohms). Greater power can be obtained when this value is smaller.

54

DVD

Explanation of terms sYCC601 color

Like “x.v.Color”, each of these color spaces defines a palette of available colors that is larger than the traditional RGB color model.

W

WMA (Windows Media Audio)

This is audio compression technology developed by

Microsoft Corporation.

WMA data can be encoded using Windows

Media® Player Ver.7, 7.1, Windows Media® Player for Windows® XP and Windows Media® Player 9

Series.

To encode WMA files, only use applications authorized by Microsoft Corporation. If you use an unauthorized application, the file may not work properly.
