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
iTunes
iTunes is the name of the multimedia player
provided by Apple Inc. It enables management
and playback of multimedia contents including
music and movies. iTunes supports many main file
formats including AAC, WAV, and MP3.
L
LFE
This is an abbreviation of Low Frequency Effect,
which is an output channel that emphasizes
THE
low frequency effect sound. Surround audio is
intensified by outputting 20 Hz to 120 Hz deep
bass.
THE
M
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".
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 devices
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.
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.
V
vTuner
This is a free online content server for Internet
radio. Note that usage fees are included in upgrade
costs.
