Bit Stream
A signal that is compressed and changed into digital
format. Then de.haling on the de_odes it can be
processed as 5.1 mu]fi-chatmc] audio.
Channel (ch)
A channel is an audio type that has been divided based
on range and other eharactcfisties.

• Front Speakers, Left (lch), Right (]eh)
• Center Slxrakar (1 ch)
• Surrolmd Speakers, Left ( e] ), Right (lch)
• Subwoofbr(] chx0.]*: :0.1 eh)

Cinema DSP (Digital Sound Field
Processor)
Dolby Surround and DTS were originally designed for
file movie theater, so playing file stone progrmn at home
would produce disparate listening experiences
depending on variables like the room size, walling and
unmlx_r of speakers.
Yamaha Cinema DSP applies origkml sound field
technology based on a wealth of real-world da_
measurements to reproduce Do]by Pro Logic, Do]by
Digital and DTS solmd, conthklklg them wifll acoustic
scale, depth and tone so that you can experience file
presenc_ of a movie theater at home,
Component Video Signal
A c_omlxment video signal is s_parated into one
]mnklance Y-signal and two ehrominance PBiC_ and PR]
C_ signals. Since each signal is sent kldependunt]y, color
can be reproduced more faJthflfl]y. The c,ompounnt
algnal is also called a c,olor-difference signal by the way
it sub.acts the lunfinanee signal from file color signals,
Decoder
A devic_ that conver'_ encoded data on DVD and other
media back to its original mtdio or video signal.
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that
gives you completely indc_nde_t multi-channel audio.
With 3 front channels (lefq center, and right), and 2
surround stereo chatmals, Dolby Digital provides 5 fit]]-
range audio channels, With an additional channel
especially for bass effects, called LFE (low frequency
effect), file system has a total of 5,1 channds.
By using 2-chunnal stexeo for the surround speakexs,
more aneurata moving sound effects and surround sound
envirotmlunt can be, reproduced, like the rustling of trees
or sound of"waves,
Dolby Pro Logic
A surrolmd system that _kes a 4-chatmel algnal and
records it as a 2-chatmcl signal, then by way of some
afithnletic processing c_onvcr_sback to an kldependent 4-
chatmal signal for playback.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Takes any 2-channel sourc_ and reIrroduces dynamic
5.1-channel surround with excellent separation using
special signal proeessing. You can expc_cac_ Fmlby Pro
Logic I] in MOVIE mode and MUSIC mode for stareo.
You can cvcn enjoy old movies that wcrc unly recorded
in 2-channel audio (excluding munaural) in l_we_tl
5.1-channel surround.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
The 5.1-channel surround systenl adopted by most
nlovie theaters. With an abundance of audio data, it is
able to provide mtthcnfic solmding effbcts.
Dynamic Range
The difference bet_*een the smallest sound that can be
heard above the equipment noise and the biggest sound
that can be heard without disttr_ion is the dynamic
range.
Film and Video Data
In general, DVD media can be classified into the 2 types
below.
• Film Data
Vide,o re_orded at 24 frmnes/se_ond. (The film used
for shooting movies is recorded at 2,1frames/secund.)
Rc,cently 30 frames/secund progresalve video has
made its de,but,
• Vide_ Data
Vide,o re_orded at 30 frmnes/se_ond.
CinenarStation will automatically recognize whether file
source recorded on DVD is film or vide,o, then select the
best method to convert it into Irrogrcsglvc output.
Interlace and Progressive Outputs
Up to now file standard video signal has been NTSC
with 525i (i: intarlaned) scan lines. In contrast, 525p (p:
progressive) is a high-deasity signal with double the
nmnbar of scan li_cs,
