DTS Neo:6
DTS Neo:6 can generate 6.1 channel surround
sound from any matrixed stereo source (such
as video or TV) and from 5.1 channel sources.
It uses both the channel information already
encoded into the source, as well as its ownpro-
cessing to determine channel localization
(with two channel sources, the
“
.1
”
subwoofer
channel is generated by bass management in
the receiver). Two modes (Cinema and Music)
are available using DTS Neo:6 with two chan-
nel sources.
DTS-ES
DTS-ES is a decoder that is capable of decod-
ing both DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Ma-
trix 6.1 encoded sources. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1
gives
‘
true
’
6.1 channel sound, with a comple-
tely separate (discrete) surround back chan-
nel. DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 has a surround back
channel matrixed into the surround left/right
channels. Both sources are also compatible
with a conventional DTS 5.1 channel decoder.
Dynamic range control
Dolby Digital has a function for compressing
the difference between the loudest and softest
sounds: Dynamic range control. This control
ensures sounds with an increased dynamic
range are heard clearly even at low volume le-
vels.
EXIF (Exchangeable image file)
A file format developed by Fuji Photo Film for
digital still cameras. Digital cameras from var-
ious manufacturers use this compressed file
format which carries date, time and thumbnail
information, as well as the picture data.
Group
A collection of tracks on a DVD audio disc.
Equivalent to a DVD video title.
ID3 tag
This is a method of embedding track-related
information in an MP3 file. This embedded in-
formation can include the track title, the ar-
tist
’
s name, the album title, the music genre,
the year of production, comments and other
data. The contents can be freely edited using
software with ID3 Tag editing functions.
Although the tags are restricted as to the num-
ber of characters, the information can be
viewed when the track is played back.
ISO9660 format
This is the international standard for the for-
mat logic of CD-ROM folders and files. For the
ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the
following two levels.
Level 1:
The file name is in 8.3 format (the name con-
sists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English
capital letters and half-byte numerals and the

ters).
Level 2:
The file name can have up to 31 characters (in-
cluding the separation mark
“
.

and a file ex-
tension). Each folder contains less than 8
hierarchies.
