x Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from 2 channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.
x S-AIR (Sony Audio Interactive Radio frequency)
Recent times have seen the rapid spread of DVD media, Digital Broadcasting, and other high quality media. To ensure that the subtle nuances of these high quality media are transmitted with no deterioration, Sony has developed a technology called S-AIR for the radio transmission of digital audio signals with no compression, and has incorporated this technology into the EZW-RT10/EZW-T100. This technology transfers digital audio signals with no compression using the 2.4 GHz band range of ISM band (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical band), such as wireless LANs and Bluetooth applications.
x Dolby Surround (Dolby Pro Logic)
Audio processing technology developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Center and mono surround information is matrixed into two stereo channels. When reproduced, audio is decoded and output in 4 channel surround sound. This is the most common audio processing method for DVD-video.

x DTS Digital Surround

Digital audio encoding/decoding technology for theaters developed by DTS, Inc. It compresses audio less than Dolby Digital, delivering a higher quality sound reproduction.

x S-Master

S-Master is an all-digital amplifier technology developed by Sony, which effectively minimizes the occurrence of sound fragmentation and jitter, delivering superb dialog clarity and faithful reproduction of the original sound. The compact amplifier section supports a higher power efficiency and improved thermal performance.
x HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an interface that supports both video and audio on a single digital connection, allowing you to enjoy high quality digital picture and sound. The HDMI specification supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection), a copy protection technology that incorporates coding technology for digital video signals.

x Sampling frequency

To convert analog audio to digital, analog data should be quantified. This process is called sampling, and the number of times per second the analog data is quantified is called the sampling frequency. A standard music CD stores data quantified at 44,100 times per second, which is expressed as a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz. Generally speaking, a higher sampling frequency means better sound quality.
x L.F.E. (Low Frequency Effects)
Sound effects of low frequencies which are output from a subwoofer in Dolby Digital or DTS, etc. By adding a deep bass with a frequency between 20 to 120 Hz, audio becomes more powerful.

x TSP (Time Stretched Pulse)
A TSP signal is a highly precise measuring signal that utilizes impulse energy, measuring a wide band, from low to high, in a short period. The amount of energy used to measure signals is important to ensure measurement accuracy in a normal indoor environment. Using TSP signals makes it possible to measure signals effectively.
