When this unit is connected to a power  
amp with input level control, auto TA and  
EQ may not be possible if you lower power  
amp input level. Set the power amps input  
level to the standard position.  
When this unit is connected to a power  
amp with an LPF, turn off the LPF on the  
power amp before carrying out auto TA and  
EQ. In addition, the cut-off frequency for  
built-in LPF of an active subwoofer should  
be set to the highest frequency.  
The time alignment value calculated by  
auto TA and EQ may differ from the actual  
distance in the following circumstances.  
However, the distance has been calculated  
by computer to be the optimum delay to  
give accurate results for the circum-  
stances, so please continue to use this  
value.

Terms  
the same as the Dolby Digital surround sound  
system used in theaters.  
AAC  
AAC is short for Advanced Audio Coding and  
refers to an audio compression technology  
standard used with MPEG 2 and MPEG 4.  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic II can create five full-band-  
width output channels from two-channel  
sources. This new technology enables a dis-  
crete 5-channel playback with 2 front chan-  
nels, 1 center channel, and 2 rear channels. A  
music mode is also available for 2-channel  
sources in addition to the movie mode.  
Aspect ratio  
This is the width-to-height ratio of a TV screen.  
A regular display has an aspect ratio of 4:3.  
Wide screen displays have an aspect ratio of  
16:9, providing a bigger picture for exceptional  
presence and atmosphere.  
DTS  
This stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is  
a surround system delivering multi-channel  
audio from up to 6 independent channels.  
Bit rate  
This expresses data volume per second, or bps  
(bits per second) units. The higher the rate,  
the more information is available to reproduce  
the sound. Using the same encoding method  
(such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better  
the sound.  
Dynamic range control  
Dolby Digital has a function for compressing  
the difference between the loudest and softest  
sounds: Dynamic range control. This control  
ensures sounds with an increased dynamic  
range are heard clearly even at low volume le-  
vels.  
Chapter  
DVD titles are in turn divided into chapters  
which are numbered in the same way as the  
chapters of a book. With DVD video discs fea-  
turing chapters, you can quickly find a desired  
scene with chapter search.  
EXIF (Exchangeable image file)  
A file format developed by Fuji Photo Film for  
digital still cameras. Digital cameras from var-  
ious manufacturers use this compressed file  
format which carries date, time and thumbnail  
information, as well as the picture data.  
DivX  
DivX is a popular media technology created by  
DivX, Inc. DivX media files contain highly com-  
pressed video with high visual quality that  
maintains a relatively small file size. DivX files  
can also include advanced media features like  
menus, subtitles, and alternate audio tracks.  
Many DivX media files are available for down-  
load online, and you can create your own  
using your personal content and easy-to-use  
tools from DivX.com.  
ID3 tag  
This is a method of embedding track-related  
information in an MP3 file. This embedded in-  
formation can include the track title, the ar-  
tists name, the album title, the music genre,  
the year of production, comments and other  
data. The contents can be freely edited using  
software with ID3 Tag editing functions.  
Although the tags are restricted as to the num-  
ber of characters, the information can be  
viewed when the track is played back.  
DivX Certified  
DivX Certified products are officially tested by  
the creators of DivX and guaranteed to play all  
versions of DivX video, including DivX 6.

cording system used for the multimedia soft-  
ware of Microsoft Corporation.  
Level 2:  
The file name can have up to 31 characters (in-  
cluding the separation mark .and a file ex-

Multi-angle  
With regular TV programs, although multiple  
cameras are used to simultaneously shoot  
scenes, only images from one camera at a  
time are transmitted to your TV. Some DVDs  
feature scenes shot from multiple angles, let-  
ting you choose your viewing angle as desired.  
File names can have up to 64 characters.  
Romeo:  
File names can have up to 128 characters.  
Multi-audio (Multilingual dialog)  
Some DVDs feature dialog recorded in multi-  
ple languages. Dialog in up to 8 languages  
can be recorded on a single disc, letting you  
choose as desired.  
JPEG  
This stands for Joint Photographic Experts  
Group, and is an international still image com-  
pression standard.  
Multi-session  
Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse code  
modulation  
Multi-session is a recording method that al-  
lows additional data to be recorded later.  
When recording data on a CD-ROM, CD-R or  
CD-RW, etc., all data from beginning to end is  
treated as a single unit or session. Multi-ses-  
sion is a method of recording more than 2 ses-  
sions on one disc.  
This stands for linear pulse code modulation,  
which is the signal recording system used for  
music CDs and DVDs. Generally, DVDs are re-  
corded with higher sampling frequency and  
bit rate than CDs. Therefore, DVDs can provide  
higher sound quality.  
Multi-subtitle  
m3u  
Subtitles in up to 32 languages can be re-  
corded on a single DVD, letting you choose as  
desired.  
Playlists created using the WINAMPsoft-  
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).  
MP3  
Number of quantization bits  
MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an  
audio compression standard set by a working  
group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Stan-  
dards Organization). MP3 is able to compress  
audio data to about 1/10th the level of a con-  
ventional disc.  
The number of quantization bits is one factor  
in the overall sound quality; the higher the  
bit-depth, the better the sound quality. How-  
ever, increasing the bit-depth also increases  
the amount of data and therefore storage  
space required.

Packet write  
WMA  
This is a general term for a method of writing  
on CD-R, etc., at the time required for a file,  
just as is done with files on floppy or hard  
discs.  
WMA is short for Windows MediaAudio  
and refers to an audio compression technol-  
ogy that is developed by Microsoft  
Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by  
using Windows Media Player version 7 or  
later.  
Parental lock  
Some DVD video discs with violent or adult-or-  
iented scenes feature parental lock which pre-  
vents children from viewing such scenes. With  
this kind of disc, if you set the units parental  
lock level, playback of scenes inappropriate for  
children will be disabled, or these scenes will  
be skipped.  
Windows Media and the Windows logo are tra-  
demarks or registered trademarks of Microsoft  
Corporation in the United States and/or other  
countries.  
Playback control (PBC)  
This is a playback control signal recorded on  
Video CDs (Version 2.0). Using menu displays  
provided by Video CDs with PBC lets you enjoy  
playback of simple interactive software and  
software with search functions. You can also  
enjoy viewing high- and standard-resolution  
still images.  
Region number  
DVD players and DVD discs feature region  
numbers indicating the area in which they  
were purchased. Playback of a DVD is not pos-  
sible unless it features the same region num-  
ber as the DVD player.  
Title  
DVD video discs have high data capacity, en-  
abling recording of multiple movies on a sin-  
gle disc. If, for example, one disc contains  
three separate movies, they are divided into  
title 1, title 2 and title 3. This lets you enjoy the  
convenience of title search and other func-  
tions.  
VBR  
VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally  
speaking CBR (constant bit rate) is more  
widely used. But by flexibly adjusting the bit  
rate according to the needs of audio compres-  
sion, it is possible to achieve compression-  
priority sound quality.
