Glossary

AVsourcedevice

A source device which supplies sound and picture signals. The sound signals may be generated in analogue or digital form.

Center

Front loudspeaker between the two main speakers, located below or directly adjacent to the TV set.

dB

The unit of measurement for electrical levels is the deciBel (dB).

DSP(D igitaler Signal Processor)

The digital surround decoder employs a fully programmable signal processor. A DSP can process signals using a program stored in the program memory. The program can be updated at any time, which means that the decoder can be kept abreast of new developments.

Frontspeaker

Front pair of main loudspeakers, set up to left and right of the television set.

Surroundspeaker

Rear pair of loudspeakers, set up behind the listening position, designed to provide spatial sound effects.

RLINK

Universal control interface by means of which all the components of a system communicate, provided that they are fitted with an RLINK control socket.

RGB

High-quality picture norm, utilising separate wires for the colour signals red, green and blue. This avoids the problem of signal contamination; RGB playback providesthebestpossiblepicturequality.

SCART

Widely used standardised connection using a 21-pin connector. SCART leads can transfer all picture norms and additional control signals (e. g. for 3:4 / 16:9 picture format switching). Adaptors are available in specialist shops for connecting a SCART socket to other standard connectors (Cinch or Hosiden).

STANDBY

The digital surround decoder can be switched on from stand-by mode at any time by pressing a button on the remote control handset.

Subwoofer

Loudspeaker designed for reproducing low bass signals. It is used for special deep bass effects which are encoded on the LFE channel in Dolby Digital and dts material. When combined with small satellite speakers they also provide a full-range bass response.

SVIDEO

High-quality picture norm with separate brightness and colour signals. Better picture quality than standard video. However, as the colours are not transmitted separately, picture quality is not quite as good as with the RGB method.

TASI

This standard interface makes it possible to loop a

surround decoder between the source selector switch and the volume control of the stereo amplifier. The interface automatically detects the decoder when it is connected. In surround mode the volume and tone controls of the stereo amplifier are disabled, as these functions are assumed by the decoder.

Update

Method of bringing the software used by the decoder’s main processor or signal processor abreast of new developments. Updating the software provides for future expansion of functions and changes to meet new requirements.

VIDEO

Standard picture norm: colour and brightness information is transmitted by a single conductor. Standard video connections are present on all AV devices.

YUV

High-quality picture norm, whereby the different colour components are transferred using separate cables, in a similar way to RGB.
