Super Audio CD (SACD) (page 6)
An SACD disc can reproduce sounds that are
extremely faithful to the original sound by
use
of DSD (Direct Stream Digital)
technology. This technology utilizes a
sampling frequency of 2.8224 MHz, which is
64 times that of a conventional CD, and l-bit
quantization that enables the disc to hold 4
times the amount of information that a
standard PCM format CD can hold. SACDs
are divided into the following types.
l
Super Audio CD (single layer disc)

TV Virtual Surround (TVS) (page 55)
Technology from Sony developed to produce
surround
sound for home
use
using

characteristics of your TV, this technology
brings the excitement of surround sound to
your home using nothing more than your
stereo TV's internal speakers. Furthermore,
various TVS modes are available. For
example, "TVS WIDE" uses just two
speakers to create a virtual sound
environment that makes you feel like you are
surrounded by multiple speakers.
