Dolby Pro Logic g z
Dolby Pro Logic g z introduces a new dimension to
Home Entertainment through the addition of a pair
of front height channels. Compatible with stereo,
5.1-channel and 7.1-channel content, Dolby Pro
Logic gz provides enhanced spaciousness, depth
and dimension to movies, concert video and video
game playback while maintaining the full integrity
of the source mix.
Dolby Pro Logic g z identifies and decodes spatial
cues that occur naturally in all content, directing
this information to the front height channels,
complementing the performance of left and right
surround sound speakers. Content that is encoded
with Dolby Pro Logic g z height channel information
can be even more revealing, with perceptually
discrete height channel information bringing an
exciting new dimension to home entertainment.
Dolby Pro Logic g z, with front height channels is
also an ideal alternative for households that cannot
support the placement of back surround speakers
of a typical 7.1-channel system but may have
bookshelf space available to support the addition of
height speakers.
Dolby Virtual Speaker
This is technology from Dolby Laboratories.
It is a surround system using just two speakers to
create the effect of surround sound, with sound

surround audio to less number of channels and
plays back.

Dynamic range
The difference between the maximum undistorted
sound level and the minimum sound level that is
discernible above the noise emitted by the device.
F
Finalise
This is processing that enables playing back of
disc of BD/DVD/CD, which was recorded using a
recorder, by other players.
H
HDCP
When transmitting digital signals between devices,
this copyright protection technology encrypts
the signals to prevent content from being copied
without authorization.
HDMI
This is an abbreviation of High-Definition Multimedia
Interface, which is an AV digital interface that can
be connected to a TV or amplifier. Video signal and
audio signal can be connected using 1 cable.
I
Interlacing (interlaced scanning)
This conventional method used to project images
on a TV displays 1 frame of image in half and half,
respectively as 2 fields.
Interactive audio
Audio such as click sound that is generated during
operation and is recorded in the title of BD-Videos.
J
JPEG (Joint Photo graphic Experts Group)
This is a still picture data compression standard. Its
ability to reduce the size of a file with relatively little
deterioration in image quality means that it is widely
used for storing images in video cameras, etc.
L
LFE
This is an abbreviation of Low Frequency Effect,
which is an output channel that emphasizes low
frequency effect sound. Surround audio is intensified
by outputting 20 Hz to 120 Hz deep bass.
Linear PCM
This signal is uncompressed PCM (Pulse Code
Modulation) signal. This is the same system as the
CD audio but this uses 192 kHz, 96 kHz, and 48 kHz
sampling frequencies in Blu-ray Disc or DVD and
