Glossary Audio information DTS-HD High Resolution Audio ■ Audio decoding format DTS-HD High Resolution Audio is a compressed digital audio format developed by DTS, Inc. that supports 7.1-channel and 96 kHz/24-bit audio. DTS-HD High Resolution Audio remains fully compatible with the existing multichannel audio systems that support DTS Digital Surround. This technology is used for audio on BD (Blu-ray Disc).
HDMI and video information Sampling frequency/Quantization bit Sampling frequency and quantization bits indicate the quantity of information when an analog audio signal is digitized. These values are noted as in the following example: “48 kHz/24-bit”. • Sampling frequency Sampling frequency (the number of times the signal is sampled per second) is called the sampling rate. When the sampling frequency is higher, the range of frequencies that can be played back are wider.
Yamaha technologies Supported devices and file formats CINEMA DSP (Digital Sound Field Processor) ■ Supported devices Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were originally designed for use in movie theaters, their effect is best experienced in a theater that has many speakers designed for acoustic effects. Since home conditions (such as room size, wall material, and number of speakers) can differ so widely, it is inevitable that there are differences in the sound that you hear.
■ File formats Video signal flow ❑ USB, PC/NAS File WAV * MP3 WMA MPEG-4 AAC FLAC ALAC AIFF DSD Sampling frequency (kHz) 32/44.1/48/ 88.2/96/ 176.4/192 32/44.1/48 32/44.1/48 32/44.1/48 32/44.1/48/ 88.2/96/ 176.4/192 32/44.1/48/ 88.2/96 32/44.1/48/ 88.2/96/ 176.4/192 2.8 MHz/ 5.6 MHz Video signals input from a video device to the unit are output to a TV as shown below.
To use HDMI Control, you need to perform the following HDMI Control link setup after connecting the TV and playback devices. Information on HDMI For details on settings and operating your TV, refer to the instruction manual for the TV. HDMI Control HDMI Control allows you to operate external devices via HDMI. If you connect a TV that supports HDMI Control to the unit with an HDMI cable, you can control the unit (such as power and volume) with TV remote control operations.
