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).
SILENT CINEMA YAMAHA has developed a natural, realistic sound effect DSP algorithm for headphones. Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound field so that accurate representations of all the sound field programs can be enjoyed on headphones.
GLOSSARY Video signal information Component video signal With the component video signal system, the video signal is separated into the Y signal for the luminance and the P and P signals for the chrominance. Color can be reproduced more faithfully with this system because each of these signals is independent.
