LFE - (Low Frequency Effects) - Sub-woofer. The 6th channel in a 5.1 channel system.

Interoperability - This refers to the ability of a system or a product to work with other systems or products without special effort on the part of the customer. For example, interoperability would be required for a digital television set to be plugged into a VCR that is plugged into cable with all the components working together.

Analog Video - The conventional NTSC television system in use today uses analog technology, in which the image sound and the picture brightness and color are represented by signals proportional to these values. The values of these signals are vulnerable to interference and noise. Digital television overcomes this vulnerability and delivers signals that are totally clean.

HDTV - "High-definition Television." This is the most superior video picture available in Digital TV. In the U.S., the 1080i and 720p formats in a 16:9 aspect ratio are the two acceptable HDTV formats. HDTV is a component of DTV.

SDTV - (standard definition TV) - SDTV is 480i, which is approximately the resolution of NTSC and DVDs.

Compression - A method of reducing the number of bits required to store or transmit programs by the removal of redundant and/or non-critical information in the digital picture and sound. The DTV broadcasting standard for Canada, uses the MPEG-2 video and the AC-3 audio compression coding. Compression allows the delivery of more programs in a single channel.

HD-Capable TV - A standard definition set with a digital tuner. (This term was probably invented to confuse people.)
