Dynamic Range - Pioneer DV-868AVi Manual De Instrucciones

Additional information

Dynamic range

The difference between the quietest and
loudest sounds possible in an audio signal
(without distorting or getting lost in noise).
Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are
capable of a very wide dynamic range,
delivering dramatic cinema-like effects.
File extension
A tag added to the end of a filename to
indicate the type of file. For example, ".mp3"
indicates an MP3 file.
i.LINK
i.LINK is a trademark name of IEEE1394, a
high-speed digital interface capable of
carrying audio, video and other types of data
(this player only outputs audio).
HDMI
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
is a high-speed digital interface which has the
capability to support standard, enhanced, or
high-definition video plus standard to multi-
channel surround-sound audio on a single
digital connection. HDMI features include
uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of
up to 5 gigabytes per second and
communication between the AV source and
AV devices such as DTVs.
HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition
Multimedia Interface are trademarks or
registered trademarks of HDMI licensing LLC.
Interlaced video
A method of displaying a picture in which
odd-numbered lines are updated in one pass,
then even-numbered lines updated in the
next. See also Progressive scan video.
ISO 9660 format
International standard for the volume and file
structure of CD-ROM discs.
MP3
MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed
audio file format. Files are recognized by their
file extension ".mp3" or ".MP3".
MPEG audio
An audio format used on Video CD/Super
VCDs and some DVD discs. This unit can
convert MPEG audio to PCM format for wider
compatibility with digital recorders and AV
amplifiers. See also PCM (Pulse Code
Modulation).
MPEG video
The video format used for Video CD/Super
VCDs and DVDs. Video CD/Super VCD uses
the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses
the newer and much better quality MPEG-2
standard.
Packed PCM (DVD-Audio only)
A lossless compression system that enables
more PCM audio to be stored on a DVD-Audio
disc than would otherwise be possible.
PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD/Super
VCD only)
A system of navigating a Video CD/Super VCD
through on-screen menus recorded onto the
disc. Especially good for discs that you would
normally not watch from beginning to end all
at once—karaoke discs, for example.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
The most common system of encoding digital
audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent
quality, but requires a lot of data compared to
formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG
audio. For compatibility with digital audio
recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV
amplifiers with digital inputs, this unit can
convert Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio to
PCM. See also Digital audio.
