DESCRIPTION OF TERMINOLOGY

Dolby Pro Logic Surround:

This refers to the Dolby Surround sound decoder system which is used for movies. Using 4 channels, the sound ef- fects, dialog, sound direction, music, etc. are all reproduced more realistically. Dolby Pro Logic Surround makes the lo- cation and movement of sounds much more natural than the original Dolby Surround system. You can enjoy a realistic, powerful feeling like being at a live performance or as if you were at a movie theater or in a concert hall. In order to enjoy this effect, you need at least one pair of surround speakers and center speaker.

Dolby Digital:

This is the new digital surround system that was created to reproduce theater quality stereophonic Dolby Surround sound at home. Films are now recorded using the 5.1 chan- nel system. Dolby Digital can handle the original soundtrack without modification, allowing you to enjoy the sound field created by the film maker at home.

Dolby Surround:

This is the encoding/decoding system for general-purpose Dolby Surround. When the sound from films recorded in Dolby Surround are reproduced, you will have the feeling of being at a live performance, as if the action is taking place right in front of you.

LFE (Low Frequency Effect):

This refers to the special low-frequency sound effects used in Dolby Digital recordings.

When a signal containing LFE encoding is played by this unit, "LFE" will appear in the display.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

This is a recording/transmission system used for digital audio signals. This unit can handle sampling frequencies of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.

Sub woofer:

The sub woofer is a special speaker used to emphasize bass sounds.

In Dolby Digital, this speaker reproduces the LFE signals as well as the low-frequency signals being sent to the front, center and surround speakers.

In Dolby Pro Logic, this speaker reproduces the low-fre- quency signals sent to the front and center speakers.

It also reproduces low frequency sounds from ordinary stereo recordings.
