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.

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 Digital Surround

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

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-ES

Format for 6.1 channels playback with surround back information. There are two modes, “Discrete 6.1” which records all channels independently, and “Matrix 6.1” which matrixes surround back channel into surround left and surround right channels. It is ideal for playback of motion picture soundtracks.

xHDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an interface that supports both video and audio on a single digital connection, allowing you to enjoy high quality digital picture and sound. 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. “i” of “480i” stands for “Interlace.”

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.

xNeural THX

Neural Surround™, THX® Technologies has been chosen as the official surround sound broadcast format for XM Satellite Radio’s “XM HD Surround” and other leading FM/HD radio stations in the USA and worldwide. Neural Surround, THX Technologies delivers the rich envelopment and discrete image detail of surround sound in a format 100% compatible with stereo.

xPCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

A method of converting analog audio to digital audio for easy enjoyment of digital sound.

xProgressive

A scanning method that draws all scanning lines sequentially, as opposed to interlaced scanning where all the odd and then all the even lines are drawn.

“p” of “480p” stands for “Progressive.”
