Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth
output channels from 2 channel sources. This is
done using an advanced, high-purity matrix
surround decoder that extracts the spatial
properties of the original recording without
adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.
x Movie mode
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television
shows and all programs encoded in Dolby
Surround. The result is enhanced sound field
directionality that approaches the quality of
discrete 5.1-channel sound.
Dolby Surround Pro Logic
As one method of decoding Dolby Surround,
Dolby Surround Pro Logic produces four
channels from 2 channel sound. Compared with
the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby
Surround Pro Logic reproduces left-to-right
panning more naturally and localizes sounds
more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby
Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of
surround speakers and a center speaker. The
surround speakers output monaural sound.
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a lossless coding technology
that supports up to 8 channels of multi-channel
surround sound for the next generation of optical
discs. The reproduced sound is true to the
original source bit-for-bit.
DTS
Digital audio compression technology
developed by DTS, Inc. This technology
conforms to 5.1-channel surround. This format
includes a stereo rear channel and a discrete
subwoofer channel. DTS provides the same 5.1
discrete channels of high quality digital audio.
The good channel separation is realized due to
the all channel data being recorded discretely
and processed in digitally.
DTS Neo:6
This technology converts 2 channels stereo
recorded audio for 7 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.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
Developed as an extension to DTS Digital
Surround format. It supports a maximum
sampling frequency of 96 kHz, and 7.1 multi-
channel surround.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio has a
maximum transmission rate of 6 Mbps, with
lossy compression.
DTS-HD Master Audio
DTS-HD Master Audio has a maximum
transmission rate of 24.5 Mbps, and uses
lossless compression, and DTS-HD Master
Audio corresponds to a maximum sampling
frequency of 192 kHz, and maximum of 7.1ch.
HD Digital Cinema Sound (HD-D.C.S.)
HD Digital Cinema Sound (HD-D.C.S.) is
Sony’s new innovative home theater technology
using the latest acoustic and digital signal
processing technologies. It is based on precise
response measurement data of a mastering
studio.
With HD-D.C.S., you are able to enjoy Blu-ray
and DVD movies at home with not only the high
quality of sound, but also the best sound
ambience, just as the movie’s sound engineer
intended in the mastering process.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia
Interface)
HDMI 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
Content Protection), a copy protection
technology that incorporates coding technology
for digital video signals.
Interlace format
(Interlaced scanning)
The Interlace format is the NTSC standard
method for displaying TV images at 30 frames
per second. Each frame is scanned twice -
alternately between the even numbered scanning
lines and then odd numbered scanning lines, at
60 times per second.
LTH (Low to High)
LTH is a recording system that supports organic
pigment type BD-R.
