Dolby Digital
Digital multi-channel audio standard developed by Dolby
Laboratories. It supports transmission and recording of high-
quality digital audio signals from monaural up to 5.1 channels
using an amount of data that is a fraction of the PCM audio
format. The main features of Dolby Digital include:
• Downmixing optimized for monaural, stereo and Pro Logic
configurations as well as for playback of 6.1-channel audio.
• Transfer of information related to the dynamic range and the
conversation level adjustment.
• Wide range of operating bit rates.
Dolby Digital EX/Dolby EX
These extensions of Dolby Digital add the surround back channel
to the Dolby Digital channels to deliver a surround effect with
enhanced presence and listener envelopment.
Dolby Pro Logic II
This is a matrix decoding technology developed by Dolby
Laboratories. It generates 5-channel surround audio with
rich feeling of presence from any stereo source, delivering an
excellent multidimensional sound field effect even from an
ordinary stereo music content including CD music. It offers three
modes including the Movie mode optimized for movie playback,
the Music mode for music playback and the Game mode for
game play.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Matrix decoding technology developed by improving Dolby
Pro Logic II. It accepts any stereo or 5.1-channel audio input
and generates 7.1-channel surround audio with a more natural,
smoother surround sound field. It also offers three modes
optimized for each source content, including the Movie mode
for movie playback, the Music mode for music playback and the
Game mode for game play.
DTS Digital Surround
Digital surround format developed by DTS Corporation. It
features low compression rate and high sound quality, and is
capable of reproducing max. 5.1 channels.
DTS-ES
This is a 6.1-channel audio technology developed by adding the
surround back channel to DTS Digital Surround.
The signal of this format can also be played on existing DTS 5.1-
channeel components. DTS-ES consists of two types, which are
DTS ES Matrix and DTS-ES Discrete 6.1.
DTS-ES Matrix
With this format, the audio for the surround back channel added
to the DTS 5.1-channel audio is allocated to the two surround
channels during recording. When the signal is decoded, the audio
for the surround back channel is restored from the surround
channels to deliver the 6.1-channel audio.
DTS-ES Discrete
With this format, the audio for the surround back channel added
to the DTS 5.1-channel audio is recorded in an independent
channel.
DTS Neo:6
This is a matrix decoding technology developed by DTS
Corporation, capable of delivering max. 6.1 channels from any
2-channel source. It includes two modes, including the DTS Neo:6
CINEMA mode optimized for movie playback and the DTS Neo:6
MUSIC mode optimized for music playback.
DTS 96/24
5.1-channel digital audio format developed as an evolution of the
DTS 5.1-channel format. It enables high-quality playback with 96
kHz sampling frequency and 24-bit quantization (the signal of
this format can also be reproduced on existing DTS 5.1-channel
player components).
PCM
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is a method of encoding audio
signal digitally without compression.
DSP mode
The DSP mode produces the feeling of presence by using the
DSP (Digital Signal Processor) to create reverberation, without
spoiling the sound quality of the original signal. The DSP mode
is particularly effective when used with stereo program sources.
It offers 5 different mode (Arena, Jazz club, Theater, Stadium and
Disco).
HDMI
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a standard
developed based on DVI (Digital Visual Interface) and features the
capability of transferring both non-compressed digital video and
multi-channel digital audio through a single cable.
This unit is compatible with the HDMI optional functions listed
below.
• Deep Color
Video signals with a larger number of bits per color component
than ordinary 8 bits, such as the 10-bit and 12-bit signals can
be transferred to achieve richer expression of gradations.
• x.v.Color
A larger variety of colors, or about 180% more colors than the
number of colors of sRGB color space, can be reproduced.
• Lip Sync
The video and audio are synchronized in the monitor by
detecting the delay of monitored video automatically.
