Digital Cinema Auto Calibration
Digital Cinema Auto Calibration was developed 
by Sony to automatically measure and adjust the 
speaker settings to your listening environment in 
a short period of time. 
Dolby Digital
This movie theatre sound format is more 
advanced than Dolby Surround Pro Logic. In 
this format, the surround speakers output stereo 
sound with an expanded frequency range, and a 
subwoofer channel for deep bass is 
independently provided. This format is also 
called “5.1” with the subwoofer channel 
designed as the 0.1 channel (since it functions 
only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six 
channels in this format are recorded separately 
for superior channel separation. Furthermore, 
since all the signals are processed digitally, less 
signal degradation occurs.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II creates 5 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 colourations.
xMovie mode
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television 
shows and all programs encoded in Dolby 
Surround. The result is enhanced sound field 
directionality that approaches the quality of 
discrete 5.1-channel sound.
xMusic mode
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music 
recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound 
space.

DTS
Digital audio compression technology 
developed by DTS, Inc. This technology 
conforms to 5.1-channel surround. This format 
comprises of stereo rear channel and there is 
discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS 
provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high 
quality digital audio. The good channel 
separation is realized due to the all channel data 
being recorded discretely and processed in 
digitally.
HDMI (High-definition multimedia 
interface)
HDMI 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. 
Interlace format
(Interlaced scanning)
The Interlace format is the NTSC standard 
method for displaying TV images at 30 frames 
per second. Each frame is scanned twice - 
alternately between the even numbered scanning 
lines and then odd numbered scanning lines, at 
60 times per second.
Parental Control
A DVD function to limit playback of the disc by 
users of a predetermined age according to the 
limitation level in each country. The limitation 
varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, 
playback is completely prohibited, violent 
scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes, 
etc.
Progressive format
(Sequential scanning)
In contrast to the Interlace format, the 
progressive format can reproduce 50 - 60 frames 
per second by reproducing all scanning lines 
(525 lines for the NTSC system). The overall 
picture quality increases and still images, text 
and horizontal lines appear sharper.
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.
