LFE (Low Frequency Effect) 0.1
Channel
This chatmel is for the reproduction of'low bass signals.
The frequency range for this chatmal is 20 Hz to 120 He.
]t is added to the full-range 5 chaunels in Dolby Digital
and DTS to enhance low frequency sound for added
effee,t. This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only
enforce,s a low frequency range.
Linear PCM (LPCM)
A signal that is changed to digital format without
compression. A CD is ree,orded witil ] &bit sound at
,1,1.1kHz, while DVD recording is unywhanc between 16
bits at 48 kltz to 2,1 bits at 192 kHz, whieh makes it a
hi_lar quality sound than CD. This signal also has a type
called Pan,kexl PCM (P.PCM) that can be compressed
wiflrout any loss of data.
Matrix 6.1
CkmmaStatiun incorporates a Matrix 6.1 decoder for
Dolby Digital and DTS multi-channel soft'are that
enables 6.1-channel reproduction by addkig the surround
back channel to existing 5.1-channel fommt. (The
surround back chunnc] is created from surround ]eft and
ri_lt chatmals, arid output from a virtttal surround back
speaker.) With this additional channel, you can
experience more dynamic and realistic moving sound
especially scenes with "fly-over" arid "fly-around"
cffee,ts.
NTSC
NTSC is a video signal system (525 lines, 3(I frames per
second) used in North Anlcrica, Central America, a
nunther of Soufll American countries, and some Asian
countries, including Japan.
Pan & Scan and Letter Box
In gnnaral, DVD Video is produced for viewing on a
wide televialun screen with an aspect ratio of 16:9. This
means you can now view most material with the
intundexl aspect ratio on a wide-sanee,n television.
This ratio will not fit on a standard televisiun tart has an
aspect ratio of 4:3. Two pieture styles, Pan & Scan and
Lettanbox, deal wifll this problem.
• Pan & Scan c_ts off the le_ arid right pertiuns of"the
picture to fill the sanee,n.
• Ix',tterbox insets black bunds at the top and bottom of
the piet-ttre to reprodune an aspect ratio of 16:9.
PAL
PAL is a video signal system (625 lines, 25 frames pex
second) used in the Unitexl Kingdom, munh of file rest of"
western Europe, several South American countries, some
Middle East and Asian countries, several African
countries, Australia, New Zealand, arid ethan Pacific
island countries.
Sampling Frequency and Quantized
Bit Rate
When convarting an analog signal to digital, the nmnbar
of times the signal is sampled per see,end is called the
sampling frequency while the degree, of fineness when
converting file sound level into a nunleric value is callexl
the quantized bit rate.
The frequency band that can be playexl back is
dctenniund by the sampling rate while the dynamic
range cxprasaln g the difference in sound levd is
dcte_niund by the quantized bit rate. In principle, the
hi_lar the sanlpling rate, the wider the frequency range
that can be p]ayexl back. And the higher the quantized bit
rate the finer the sound that can be,reprodune,d.
SILENT CINEMA
SILENT CINEMA is an original Ymnaha systenl that
regroduans in a pal_ of"headphones the acoustic
personality of sound field grograms based on multi-
speakers. Headphone paranle_rs have Ix_enset for each
sound field so that natural stereoscopic sound can be
expressed arid enjoyed throu_l headphunas.
S-Video Signal
With S-video the video algnal that was unmlally
trunsnlittexl using a pin cable is separated and
transnlittexl as a lunfinance Y-signal and chronlinance C-
signal through an S video cable. Connecting with an S
VIDEO jack you can enjoy recording arid playback with
more beautiful images.
Title, Chapter (DVD Video)
DVD video lets you divide a disc in a big way by titles
or a small way"by chapters. Ean,h divialon is eithan called
a title nunther or a chapter nunther.
Track (CD/Video CD)
A CD or Video CD can be,divided into a nmnbar of
segments (tracks). Each division is called a title nunther.
Virtual Cinema DSP (Digital Sound
Field Processor)
Reproduces a surround speaker sound field to let you
enjoy virtual Center arid Surround LiR Speakers with
only" two Frun_LiR Speakers.
