GLOSSARY Glossary Audio formats ■ Dolby Digital Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives you completely independent multi-channel audio. With 3 front channels (left, center, and right), and 2 surround stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides 5 full-range audio channels. With an additional channel especially for bass effects, called LFE (low frequency effect), the system has a total of 5.1-channels (LFE is counted as 0.1 channel).
Glossary Sound field programs ■ CINEMA DSP (Digital Sound Field Processor) Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were originally designed for use in movie theaters, their effect is best felt in a theater having many speakers and designed for acoustic effects. Since home conditions, such as room size, wall material, number of speakers, and so on, can differ so widely, it’s inevitable that there are differences in the sound heard as well.
Glossary ■ Track (CD/Video CD) A CD or Video CD can be divided into a number of segments (tracks). Each division is called a title number. ■ YPAO (YAMAHA Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer) YPAO is an original YAMAHA system that configures speaker settings such as speaker balance (volume level of each speaker), delay time of each channel, and crossover/ high cut frequency for the subwoofer automatically.
Glossary ■ Pan & Scan and Letterbox In general, DVD Video is produced for viewing on a wide television screen with an aspect ratio of 16:9. This means you can now view most material with the intended aspect ratio on a wide-screen television. This ratio will not fit on a standard television that has an aspect ratio of 4:3. Two picture styles, Pan & Scan and Letterbox, deal with this problem. • Pan & Scan cuts off the left and right portions of the picture to fill the screen.
