Glossary

Digital Cinema Auto Calibration

Digital Cinema Auto Calihration was developed

by Sony to automatically measure and adjusts

the speaker settings to your listening

environment in a short period of time.

Digital Direct Twin Drive Subwoofer

Utilizing Sony proprietary S-master technology,

the Digital Direct Twin Drive Subwoofer

llzatures two S-master Digital Amplifiers that

provide dedicated power to a strategically

located subwoofcr tk)r astounding sound

perlk)rmance. Easy to set up, Digital Direct Twin

[)rive Subwoofcr provides a stable sound field

over a much larger listening area without having

to adjust frequency levels.

Dolby Digital

This movie theater sound l\)rmat is more

advanced than Dolby Surround Pro Logic. in

this lormat, tire surround speakers output stereo

sound with an expanded fi'equeucy range, and a

subwool'cr channel for deep bass is

independently provided. This format is also

called "5.1" with the subwoofer channel

designed as the 0.1 channel (since it limctions

only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six

channels in this [i)rmat are recorded separately

lot superior chmmel separation. Furthermore,

since all the signals are processed digitally, less

signal degradation occurs.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-handwidttl

output channels from 2 channel sources. This is

done usiug 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 {_)ruse with stere() television

shows and all programs encoded in Dolby

Surround. The result is enhanced souud field

directionality that approaches the quality of

discrete 5.1 =channel sound.

•Music mode

The Music mode is lor use with any 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 four

channels from 2 channel sound. Compared with

the l\)rmer Dolby Surround system, Dolby

Surround Pro Logic reproduces left-to-right

panning more naturally and localizes sounds

more precisely. To take fi_ll advantage of Dolby

Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of

surround speakers and a center speaker. The

surround speakers output nlonaural sound.

DTS

Digital audio compression technology

developed by DTS, Inc. This technology

conforms to 5.l-channel surround. Tiffs format

comprises of stere() rear channel and there is

discrete subwoofcr channel in this format. DTS

provides the same 5.1 discrete ctmnnels of high

quality digital audio. The good channel

separation is realized due to the all channel data

being recorded discretely and processed in

digitally.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia

Interface)

HDMI is an interface that supports both video

and audio on a single digital counectiou,

allowing you to enjoy high quality digital

picture and sound. The HDMI specification

supports HDCP (High=bandwidth Digital

Content Protection), a copy protection

technology that incorporates coding technology

for digital video signals.

Interlace format

(Interlaced scanning)

The Interlace limnat is the NTSC standard

method l\)r displaying TV images at 30 frames

per second. Each flame is scanned twice -

alternately between the even numbered scanning

lines and then odd numbered scanning lines, at

60 times per second.

Parental Control

A function of the DVD to limit playhack of the

disc by the age of the users according to the

limitation level in each country. The limitation

D..

103G8

104G8

varies fronl disc to disc: when it is activated,

playback is completely prohibited, violent

scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes

alld so OU.

Progressive format

(sequential scanning)

]n contrast to tile ]nterlace l\trmat, the

progressive fi_rmat can reproduce 50 - 60 flames

per second by reproducing all scanning lines

(525 lines for tile NTSC system). The overall

picture quality increases and still images, text

and horizontal lines appear sharper. This format

is compatible with the 525 or 625 progressive

l\_rmat.

S-AIR

(Sony Audio Interactive Radio

frequency)

Recem times have seen tile rapid spread of DVD

media, Digital Broadcasting, and other high-

quality media.

To ensure that the subtle nuances of these high-

quality media are transmitted with no

deterioration, Sony has developed a technology

called "S-AIR" l\_r the radio transmission of

digital audio signals with no compression, and

has incorporated this technology into the EZW=

RT 1()/EZW-T 1(t0.

This technology transfers digital audio signals

with no compression using the 2.4 GHz band

range of 1SM band (Industrial, Scientific, and

Medical band), such as wireless LANs and

Bluetooth applications.

Super Audio CD

Super Audio CD is a new high-quality audio

disc standard where music is recorded ill the

DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format

(conventional CD is recorded in the PCM

l\_rmat). The DSD lormat, using a sampling

frequency 64 times higher than that of a

conventional CD, and with l-bit quantization,

achieves both a wide frequency range and a wide

dynamic range across tile audible frequency

range, and so provides music reproduction

extremely fuithfld to the original sound.

• Super Audio CD types

There are two types of discs, depending on tile

Super Audio CD layer and CD layer

combination.

•Super Audio CD layer: A high-density

signal layer for Super Audio CD
