Explanation of terms Information 89 Downmix This function converts the number of channels of surround audio to less number of channels and plays back. DTS This is an abbreviation of Digital Theater System, which is a digital audio system developed by DTS. When playing back audio by connecting this system with a device such as DTS amplifier, accurate sound field position and realistic sound effect as if you are in a movie theater can be obtained.
Explanation of terms S Sampling frequency Sampling involves taking a reading of a sound wave (analog signal) at regular intervals and expressing the height of the wave at each reading in digitized format (producing a digital signal). The number of readings taken in one second is called the “sampling frequency”. The larger the value, the closer the reproduced sound is to the original. Speaker impedance This is an AC resistance value, indicated in Ω (ohms).
