GLOSSARY

Audio formats

■Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives you completely independent multi-channel audio. With 3 front channels (left, center, and right), and 2 surround stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides 5 full-range audio channels. With an additional channel especially for bass effects, called LFE (low frequency effect), the system has a total of 5.1-channels (LFE is counted as 0.1 channel). The DVD receiver downmixes the multi-channel audio to 2 channel so that you can enjoy Dolby Digital sources easily.

■Linear PCM (LPCM)

A signal that is changed to digital format without compression. A CD is recorded with 16-bit sound at

44.1kHz, while DVD recording is anywhere from 16 bits at 48 kHz to 24 bits at 192 kHz, which makes it a higher quality sound than CD. This signal also has a type called Packed PCM (P.PCM) that can be compressed without any loss of data.

Audio information

■Dynamic range

The difference between the smallest sound that can be heard above the equipment noise and the biggest sound that can be heard without distortion is the dynamic range.

■Sampling frequency and quantized bit

rate

When converting an analog signal to digital, the number of times the signal is sampled per second is called the sampling frequency, while the degree of fineness when converting the sound level into a numeric value is called the quantized bit rate.

The frequency band that can be played back is determined by the sampling rate, while the dynamic range expressing the difference in sound level is determined by the quantized bit rate. In principle, the higher the sampling rate, the wider the frequency range that can be played back, and the higher the quantized bit rate, the finer the sound that can be reproduced.

■Track (CD/Video CD)

A CD or Video CD can be divided into a number of segments (tracks). Each division is called a title number.
