Glossary This section explains the technical terms used in this manual. DSD (Direct Stream Digital) DSD (Direct Stream Digital) technology stores audio signals on digital storage media, such as SACD (Super Audio CDs). The signals are stored at a high-frequency sampling rate (such as 2.8224 MHz and 5.6448 MHz). The highest Audio information (audio decoding format) frequency response is equal to or higher than 100 kHz, with a dynamic range of 120 dB.
DTS Neo:6 WMA (Windows Media Audio) DTS Neo:6 enables 6-channel playback from 2-channel sources. There are two modes available: “Music mode” for One of the compressed digital audio formats developed by Microsoft Corporation. With psychoacoustic music sources and “Cinema mode” for movie sources. This technology provides discrete full-bandwidth matrix technologies, this compression method achieves a high compression rate. Reportedly, it is capable of compressing channels of surround sound.
Audio Information (Others) HDMI and video information Bi-amplification connection (Bi-amp) Component video signal A bi-amplification connection uses two amplifiers for a speaker. When you use the bi-amplification connection, the With the component video signal system, the video signal is separated into the Y signal for luminance and the Pb and unit drives the tweeter and woofer in a speaker with the discrete amplifiers. As a consequence, the tweeter and Pr signals for chrominance.
Network information Yamaha technologies SSID CINEMA DSP (Digital Sound Field Processor) SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a name that identifies a particular wireless LAN access point. Since the surround sound systems were originally designed for use in movie theaters, their effect is best experienced Wi-Fi in a theater that has many speakers designed for acoustic effects.
