720p Shorthand for a progressive ATSC high-definition
signal, where “720” refers to the number of actual

scale all video discs to 720p if that matches your
display best.
1080i Shorthand for an interlaced ATSC high-definition
signal, where “1080” refers to the number of actual
picture lines and “I” refers to Interlaced. Some
broadcasts use 1080i resolution, and the DX-5 can
scale all video discs to 1080i if that matches your
display best.
1080p Shorthand for a progressive ATSC high-definition
signal, where “1080” refers to the number of actual
picture lines and “p” refers to Progressive. Most
Blu-ray discs offer 1080p resolution, and most
modern display do also. This is the highest
resolution format available for the home cinema,

that matches your display best.
AES/EBU The Audio Engineering Society and European
Broadcast Union are standards organizations in the
US and Europe, respectively. The term “AES/EBU”
is commonly used to refer to the system of
transmitting digital audio signals used in
professional studios. This format is very similar to
the S/PDIF digital audio standard, although the
performance is higher due to the use of balanced
cables employing three-pin XLR connectors.
