RQT947128GlossaryOpticalUsing optical fi ber cable for digital signal input/output from DVD, CD, etc., provides better sound quality for playback or recording compared to analog. Only possible with equipment that has an optical terminal.PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)This is one of the methods that enable analog sounds to be converted to digital sounds without compression. This method is used for music CD, etc.Sampling frequencySampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per second, so larger numbers mean faithful reproduction of the original sound.Standby through functionWhen this system and TV and Blu-ray Disc player/DVD recorder etc. are connected with HDMI cables, image/audio from Blu-ray Disc player/DVD recorder etc. can still be transmitted to TV through this system even though the system is turned off.This is useful when you want to enjoy late night viewing only with the television’s speakers.Images recorded with x.v.Color or Deep Color are also supported.Surround signalAudio signal made up with front speakers, center speaker and surround speakers. When the front speakers are only used for this system, surround signals are automatically played by Dolby Virtual Speaker.WHISPER-MODE SURROUNDEven when the sound volume level is low, you can enjoy dynamic surround playback similarly as during normal playback. This is convenient when listening at night.x.v.ColorThis is a name of products compliant with ISO Standard for wider color space: “xvYCC”. This system supports x.v.Color.1080pThis is one of the digital hi-vision images.1080 is the number of effective scanning lines that constitute the actual screen. This enables every detail to be beautifully expressed. Images are less fl ickered with progressive method that scans in order from the top. This system supports 1080p.5.1-channel surroundMonaural and stereo use one channel and two channels respectively to reproduce sound, but 5.1-channel surround uses 5 speakers and 1 subwoofer. The 5 channels are: 1 center speaker, 2 front speakers, and 2 surround speakers at the side of or to the rear of the sitting position. Sound output of the subwoofer is much narrower than the other speakers, and so is considered as 0.1. This is called 5.1-channel surround when played through all 5.1 channels, when the front speakers are only used for this system, you can enjoy the sound fi eld effect with Dolby Virtual Speaker as if you are listening to 5.1-channel sources.7.1-channel virtual surroundWhen playing back 7.1-channel LPCM signals with this function, you can enjoy wider sound fi eld effects as if another speaker is added.AnalogAudio signals produced from L/R audio output terminals of general equipment is called analog audio.CPPM (Content Protection for Prerecorded Media)This is the copyright protection technology which prevents fi le copy of DVD audio.Decoder, DecodeDecoder is the device to enable us to hear audio data that is encoded on DVD, etc., as a normal audio signal. This process is called Decode.Deep ColorThis system can reproduce greater color gradation (4096 steps) when connected to compatible TV and recorder, etc.You can enjoy exceptionally rich, natural-looking colors, with smooth, detailed gradation and minimal color banding.DigitalBlu-ray Disc players, DVD recorders, DVD players, and CD players are usually equipped with digital output terminals. Connect through the digital terminal to enjoy digital surround sounds such as Dolby Digital and DTS.Dolby DigitalDigital sound compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories.Compatible with surround sound as well as 2-channel stereo sound. With this technology, you can keep massive amount of audio data in a disc effi ciently.Dolby Pro Logic This system can process not only Dolby Surround, but also other 2-channel sources to produce a 5.1-channel sound for a more realistic sound fi eld. It is also possible to enhance old movies recorded in stereo with this dynamic 5.1-channel sound. This system uses Dolby Pro Logic to add surround effects to stereo sources such as video cassettes and CDs.Dolby Virtual SpeakerThis system allows you to enjoy a surround effect with two front speakers. This is not merely a “virtual surround” effect, but rather uses the optimal speaker arrangements and listening positions for 5.1-channel sound.Down-samplingThis is the process of resampling by reducing the sampling rate of a signal that was sampled at a certain rate.DTS (Digital Theater Systems)Surround system used in most movie theaters. Separation works well between channels, resulting in realistic surround effects.Dynamic rangeDynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.HDMI (High Defi nition Multimedia Interface)HDMI enables you to transmit digital audio and video signals using a single cable.You can also transmit control signals using HDMI connections.Multi-channel LPCM (Linear PCM)This is the uncompressed audio signal encoded digitally. Multi-channel LPCM signals used for Blu-ray Disc, DVD audio, etc. offer playback with higher-sound quality. Up to 7.1-channel LPCM signals can be input to this system.GlossaryTroubleshooting and other information5%<622436;'PKPFF5%<622436;'PKPFFඦ೨ඦ೨

Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’sConsumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.To establish a safe level:Start your volume control at a low setting. Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.Once you have established a comfortable sound level:Set the dial and leave it there.Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.•••EST. 1924Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories.
