100Hz Picture Scan
Traditional televisions scan the picture at 50Hz which can cause eye strain when watching for long periods of time. 100Hz televisions reduce eye strain by giving a clearer picture and fewer flickers. See also 100Hz DFS Active Mode and 100Hz Dynamic Frame Scan.

100Hz DFS Active Mode
100Hz DFS (Dynamic Frame Scan) Active Mode is an enhanced picture scan system which minimises large area flicker and reduces line jitter during fast action scenes.

100Hz Dynamic Frame Scan
An enhanced picture scan system which minimises large area flicker and additionally reduces line jitter. This makes the whole picture more stable with smoother motion and generally greater clarity.

10-bit Video Signal D/A Converter
Conversion of 8-bit Y (luminance) and C (chrominance) colour signals to analogue can cause distortion of the picture colour. 10-bit improves integrity of the video image and helps reproduce truer DVD playback.

16:9 Format
A picture format close to what you would see at the cinema. The widescreen 16:9 size is larger than the traditional 4:3 television size and is more suitable when displaying movies.

24 bit/96Khz audio sampling
A high quality digital audio bit/rate used by DVD players.

3D DNR Picture Enhancement
3D-DNR Picture Enhancement is a feature which reduces the incidence of random occurring noise in the picture without sacrificing resolution or critical image detail. Picture quality is often cleaner and noise reduced for older movies where the source master has picture noise.

3D PHONIC
An alternative to Pro-Logic surround sound, where the surround sound is simulated without rear speakers. Not as effective as Pro-logic surround sound with external rear speakers but is ideal for those who wish to dispense with extra speakers and wires.

3D Specialise
An enhanced three dimensional audio image is created A variable phase delay creates an enhanced three dimensional audio image which adds depth and richness to a stereo soundtrack.

4 Head
Refers to the number of playback heads on a VCR. A 4 head system provides increased picture quality to that of standard 2 head models, particularly during long play, slow motion, pause and frame advance modes.

4:3 Format
Traditional television picture format found predominately on smaller compact televisions. Larger Televisions are now adopting the Widescreen picture format (16:9).

50 Hz Picture Scan
50 Hz Picture Scanning. Scans the information at 50 cycles per second.

6.1 Channel Input
Applies to amplifiers, receivers, HiFi and Surround Sound processors. Allows the connection of a Dolby Digital/DTS source such as a suitably equipped DVD player which handles the processing of the Dolby Digital / DTS signal itself.

90-20,000Hz Frequency range
Capacity of a devices speakers.

96 kHz/24-bit D/A Converter
Home cinema gains breathtaking impact beyond the limits of analogue sound, as DVD recording employs linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) at three quantisation bit rates (16-/20-/24-bit) and two sampling rates (48/96 kHz). Pioneer DVD players support the highest recording format at 96 khz/24-bit, allowing Pioneer wide- range technology to reach unprecedented heights of sound quality. Two or more separate 96 khz/24-bit D/A converters are incorporated in some models, one for each channel, which reduce channel crosstalk and reject interference. Now you can fully enjoy breathtaking sound quality of digitally recorded DVD-Video, Video CD and CD software
