data to 32 bit.
B
Bit rate
This is the amount of audio data recorded on a disc that is read in one
second.
D

The difference between the maximum, undistorted sound level and the
minimum sound level that is discernible above the noise emitted by the

L
Linear PCM
This is an uncompressed PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) signal. This is
the same system used for CD audio but uses 192 kHz, 96 kHz, and 48
kHz sampling frequencies on Blu-ray Disc or DVD and provides higher
resolution than CD.
M
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)
This is an internationally standardized audio data compression scheme,
based on the "MPEG-1" video compression standard. It compresses
the data volume to about one eleventh its original size while maintaining
sound quality roughly equivalent to a music CD.
P
Pure Direct
This function enables higher-quality playback of audio signals, by turning
off the display and digital output to eliminate any slight effect they may
have on the audio circuits.
