AIR SURROUND XTREME
This unit employs new technologies and algorithms that
make it possible to achieve 5-channel surround sound
with only front speakers, and without using wall
reflections.
Ordinarily, two front speakers, a center speaker, two
surround speakers, and a subwoofer are necessary for
enjoying 5.1 channel surround sound.
Virtual 5.1 channel
The AIR SURROUND XTREME technology, using
only front speakers, enables you to enjoy a realistic 5.1
channel sound by simulating sound from virtual
speakers at center and surround.
The system creates the virtual 5.1 channel surround
sound with the speakers.

of the Blu-ray Disc specifications. BDMV is a recording
format equivalent to DVD-Video of the DVD
specification.

BONUSVIEW™
BONUSVIEW compatible discs let you simultaneously
enjoy video sub-channel for two screens, audio sub-
channel and sub-titles. A small screen appears within

Closed caption
Closed captions are kind of subtitle, and the difference
between subtitles and captions is that subtitles are
intended for hearing persons and captions are for the
hearing impaired. Subtitles rarely show all of the audio.
For example, captions show sound effects (e.g., “phone
ringing” and “footsteps”), while subtitles do not. Before
you select this setting, please ensure that the disc
contains closed caption information.
Color Space
Color Space is a color range that can be represented.
RGB is a color space based on the RGB color model
(red, green and blue) and is typically used for PC
monitors. YCbCr is a color space based on a luminance
signal (Y) and two color difference signals (Cb and Cr).
Deep Color
Deep Color refers to the use of various color depths in
displays, up from the 24-bit depths in previous versions
of the HDMI specification. This extra bit depth allows
HDTVs and other displays go from millions of colors to
billions of colors and eliminate on-screen color banding
for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations
between colors. The increased contrast ratio can
represent many times more shades of gray between
black and white. Also Deep Color increases the number
of available colors within the boundaries defined by the
RGB or YCbCr color space.
Dolby Digital
A sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories Inc.
that gives movie theater ambience to audio output when
the product is connected to a Dolby Digital processor or
amplifier.
