Glossary  
Analogue: Sound that has not been turned  
into numbers. Analogue sound varies, while  
digital sound has specific numerical values.  
These jacks send audio through two channels,  
the left and right.  
AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of  
the AV receiver that send audio to another  
system (TV, Stereo, etc.).  
Digital: Sound that has been converted into  
numerical values. Digital sound is available  
when you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT  
COAXIAL or OPTICAL jacks.These jacks  
send audio through multiple channels, instead  
of just two channels as analogue does.  
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system  
developed by Dolby Laboratories capable of  
delivering up to 5.1 discrete channels of audio  
(front left and right, rear left and right, centre,  
and LFE).  
Surround: A system for creating realistic  
three-dimensional sound fields full of realism  
by arranging multiple speakers around the  
listener.  
RDS: Radio Data System, is a broadcasting  
srvice that allows FM radio stations to send  
additional information along with the regular  
FM Radio signal. This additional information  
including: Frequency and Station Name.  
Dolby Pro Logic II: It creates five full-  
bandwidth output channels from two-channel  
sources. Decode only systems that derive 5.1  
channels instead of the conventional 4  
channels of Dolby Pro Logic surround sound.  
Dolby Pro Logic Surround: It is a specially  
encoded two-channel analogue format that will  
produce sound through four speaker channels  
(front left, centre, front right, mono surround)  
when a Dolby Pro Logic Decoder is used. It is  
also compatible with stereo systems but the  
user will only have two-channel (front left &  
right) of sound.  
DTS: DigitalTheatre Systems. This is a  
surround sound system, but it is different from  
Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by  
different companies.  
Multichannel: DVD is specified to have each  
sound track constitute one sound field.  
Multichannel refers to a structure of sound  
tracks having three or more channels.  
Super Audio CD (SACD): This audio  
format is based upon the current CD  
standards but includes a greater amount of  
information that provides higher quality sound.  
There are three types of discs: single layer,  
double layer and hybrid discs. The hybrid disc  
contains both standard audio CD and Super  
Audio CD information.
