HD-Capable TV - A standard definition set with a digital tuner. (This term was probably invented to confuse people.)
Dolby Pro Logic Surround. This is a 4-channel analog system. During recording, the 4 channels are "folded" into 2 stereo channels. If played back without a Pro Logic decoder, it sounds like normal stereo. This format is becoming obsolete.
SPDIF - (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) - This is digital audio, and can be either coaxial cable or fiber optic.
NTSC - National Television Systems Committee. The organisation that created the standards for production and broadcasting of analog color television programming in Canada and the United States. The term is widely used to mean a composite analog television signal.
SMPTE - "Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers." A professional organization that is responsible for the standards for film and television production.
Addressable Resolution - The highest resolution signal that a display device (television or monitor) can accept as input. Some display devices may not be capable of displaying such signals and may downconvert them to a lower resolution prior to display.
Dolby Digital (Dolby AC-3) - The 5.1 channel audio standard for DTV and HDTV in Canada and the USA. It includes six discreet audio channels - Left, Center, Right, Left Surround (or side), Right Surround (or side), and a subwoofer -- LFE, "low frequency effects" -- (considered the ".1" as it is limited in bandwidth). Many televisions process these six channels into a two channel stereo pair and do not provide the full 5.1 channel surround sound.
