DTS NEO:6™ Surround
DTS  NEO:6™  is  a  matrix  decoding  technology 
for  achieving  6.1-channel  surround  playback 
with  2-channel  sources.  It  includes  “DTS  NEO:6 
Cinema”  suited  for  playing  movies  and  “DTS 
NEO:6 Music” suited for playing music.
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.
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.
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.
M
MAIN ZONE
The  room  where  this  unit  is  placed  is  called  the 
MAIN ZONE.
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3)
This  is  an  internationally  standardized  audio  data 
compression scheme, using  the  “MPEG-1” video 
compression  standard.  It  compresses  the  data 
volume to about one eleventh its original size while 
maintaining sound quality equivalent to a music CD.
MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group), MPEG-2, 
MPEG-4
These are the names for digital compression format 
standards used for the encoding of video and audio. 
Video standards include “MPEG-1 Video”, “MPEG-
2 Video”, “MPEG-4 Visual”, “MPEG-4 AVC”. Audio 
standards  include  “MPEG-1  Audio”,  “MPEG-2 
Audio”, “MPEG-4 AAC”.
Explanation of terms
P
Progressive (sequential scanning)
This  is  a  scanning  system  of  video  signal  that 
displays 1 frame of video as one image. Compared 
to  the  interlace  system,  this  system  provides 
images with less flickering and bleeding.
Protection Circuit
This is a function to prevent damage to components 
within  the  power  supply  when  an  abnormality 
such  as  an  overload,  excess  voltage  occurs  or 
temperature for any reason.
In this unit, the power indicator blinks and the unit 
enters standby mode when an abnormality occurs.
S
Sampling frequency
Sampling involves taking a reading of a sound wave 
(analog  signal)  at  regular  intervals  and expressing 
the height of the wave at each reading in digitized 
format (producing a digital signal).
The  number  of  readings  taken  in  one  second  is 
called  the  “sampling  frequency”.  The  larger  the 
value,  the  closer  the  reproduced  sound  is  to  the 
original.
S/PDIF
One  of  the  standards  for  digital  transmission  of 
audio signals.
Speaker impedance
This  is  an  AC  resistance  value,  indicated  in  Ω 
(ohms).  Greater  power  can  be  obtained  with  this 
value smaller.
sYCC601 color
Like x.v.Color, each of these color spaces defines 
a palette of available colors that is larger than the 
traditional RGB color model, and closer to the full 
range of colors perceptible to the human eye.
W
WMA (Windows Media Audio)
This is audio compression technology developed by 
Microsoft Corporation.
WMA  data  can  be  encoded  using  Windows 
Media
®
 Player Ver.7, 7.1, Windows Media
®
Player 
for Windows
®
 XP and Windows Media
®
 Player 9 
Series.
To  encode  WMA  files,  only  use  applications 
authorized  by  Microsoft  Corporation.  If  you  use 
an unauthorized application, the file may not work 
properly.
X
x.v.Color
This  function  lets  HDTVs  display  colors  more 
accurately.  It  enables  display  with  natural,  vivid 
colors. “x.v.Color” is a Sony registered trademark.
Z
ZONE2
This unit can operate in a room other than the room 
where  this  unit  is  placed  (MAIN  ZONE)  (ZONE2 
playback). The room for ZONE2 playback is called 
ZONE2.
