Explanation of terms
Advanced AL32 Processing Plus
Equipped with Advanced AL32 Processing Plus, Denon’s own analog
waveform reproduction technology.
The reproducibility of weak signals is enhanced by expanding 16 bit digital
data to 32 bit.
AIFF （Audio Interchange File Format）
This is an uncompressed and lossless format for digital audio. Use AIFF
files to burn high-quality audio CDs from imported songs. AIFF files use
approximately 10 MB of disk space per minute.
Apple Lossless Audio Codec
This is a codec for lossless audio compression method developed by
Apple Inc. This codec can be played back on iTunes, iPod or iPhone. Data
compressed to approximately 60 – 70 % can be decompressed to exactly
the same original data.
DSD （Direct-Stream Digital）
One of the audio data recording methods, it is the signal aspect used to
store audio signals on a super audio CD, and is Δ-Σ modulated digital
audio.
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec)
FLAC stands for Free lossless Audio Codec, and is a lossless free audio
file format. Lossless means that the audio is compressed without any loss
in quality.
The FLAC license is as shown below.

MP3 （MPEG Audio Layer-3）
This is an internationally standardized audio data compression scheme,
using the “MPEG-1” video compression standard. It compresses the data
volume to about one eleventh its original size while maintaining sound
quality equivalent to a music CD.
MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group), MPEG-2, MPEG-4
These are the names for digital compression format standards used for
the encoding of video and audio. Video standards include “MPEG-1
Video”, “MPEG-2 Video”, “MPEG-4 Visual”, “MPEG-4 AVC”. Audio
standards include “MPEG-1 Audio”, “MPEG-2 Audio”, “MPEG-4 AAC”.
WMA (Windows Media Audio)
This is audio compression technology developed by Microsoft
Corporation.
WMA data can be encoded using Windows Media
®
Player.
To encode WMA files, only use applications authorized by Microsoft
Corporation. If you use an unauthorized application, the file may not work
properly.
Sampling frequency
Sampling involves taking a reading of a sound wave (analog signal) at
regular intervals and expressing the height of the wave at each reading in
digitized format (producing a digital signal).
The number of readings taken in one second is called the “sampling
frequency”. The larger the value, the closer the reproduced sound is to the
original.

Dynamic range
The difference between the maximum undistorted sound level and the
minimum discernible level above the noise emitted by the device.
Bit rate
This is the amount of audio data recorded on a disc that is read in one
second.
Finalizing
This process enables DVD/CD recorded with a recorder to be played by
other players.
Linear PCM
This is an uncompressed PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) signal. Unlike
lossy compression audio sources such as MP3, no audio quality or
dynamic range deteriorates.
