x Digital Legato Linear (D.L.L.)
This is Sony proprietary technology that
allows low quality digital audio signals to be
played back with high quality sound. Old
recording or compressed audio often have
noise on the waveform and out-of-frequency
distortion, as well as harmonic distortion, in
the audio frequency is generated. Therefore
beat interference and ringing occur, and such
phenomena degrade the sound quality. The
D.L.L. feature eliminates these problems, and
gives you rich sound for music and movies.
x DLNA
Abbreviation of Digital Living Network
Alliance.
An association that formulates audio/photo/
video distribution among PCs and other digital

server that translates domain names to IP
