7.1channels (or 6.1 channels). Furthermore, existing stereo recorded content can also be reproduced in 7.1 channels (or 6.1 channels).

xDolby Surround (Dolby Pro Logic)

Audio processing technology developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Center and mono surround information is matrixed into two stereo channels. When reproduced, audio is decoded and output in 4 channels surround sound. This is the most common audio processing method for DVD-video.

xDownmix

Amethod to output multi-channel audio such as 5.1 channels, encoded into two channels.

xDTS 96/24

A high sound quality digital signal format. It records audio at a sampling frequency and bit rate of 96 kHz/24 bit which is the highest possible for DVD-video. The number of playback channels varies depending on the software.

xDTS Neo:6

This technology converts 2 channels stereo recorded audio for 6.1 channels playback. There are two modes to select according to the playback source or your preference, CINEMA for movies, and MUSIC for stereo sources such as music.

xDTS Digital Surround

Digital audio encoding/decoding technology for theaters developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. It compresses audio less than Dolby Digital, delivering a higher quality sound reproduction.

xDTS-ES

xDynamic Range

The reproductive capacity of audio signals. The difference between the minimum (quietest) and the maximum (loudest) sound that can be reproduced is expressed by a number value of dB. A larger number value means a greater degree of quietness or loudness can be reproduced.

xHDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI is an interface that supports both video and audio on a single digital connection. The HDMI connection carries standard to high definition video signals and multi-channel audio signals to audio/video components, such as HDMI equipped TVs, in digital form without degradation. The HDMI specification supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection), a copy protection technology that incorporates coding technology for digital video signals.

xInterlace

A scanning method which completes a picture by displaying half of the lines on a tube surface of a TV or monitor each 1/60 second. First, all the odd-numbered lines are drawn, leaving spaces between each line, then all the even- numbered lines are drawn to fill the spaces.

xL.F.E. (Low Frequency Effects)

Sound effects of low frequencies which are output from a sub woofer in Dolby Digital or DTS, etc. By adding a deep bass with a frequency between 20 to 120 Hz, audio becomes more powerful.
