provides better spatiality and directionality 
on Dolby Surround programme material, 
provides a convincing three dimensional 
sound fi eld on conventional stereo music 
recordings and is ideally suited to bring the 
surround experience to automotive sound. 
While conventional surround programming 
is fully compatible with Dolby Surround Pro 
Logic II decoders, soundtracks will be able to 
be encoded specifi cally to take full advantage 
of Pro Logic II playback, including separate 
left and right surround channels. (Such 
material is also compatible with conventional 
Pro Logic decoders).
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content 
Protection) is a specifi cation that provides a 
secure transmission of digital contents 
between different devices (to prevent 
unauthorized copyright).
JPEG: A very common digital still picture 
format. A still-picture data compression 
system proposed by the Joint Photographic 
Expert Group, which features small decrease
