Dolby TrueHD
The PIONEER HTPSL100 has
Dolby TrueHD which is a next-generation lossless technology developed
for high-definition disc-based media. It delivers sound that is bit-for-bit
identical to the studio master at a bit rate of up to 18 Mbps. It also supports
up to 8 full-range channels of 24-bit/96 kHz audio (although TrueHD can support
more than 8 channels, HD-DVD and Blu-Ray standards limit it to 8) and extensive
metadata including dialogue normalization and dynamic range control all through
an HDMI connection. Dolby TrueHD is compatible with existing and future AV
amplifiers/receivers.
DTS-HD
The PIONEER HTP-SL100 has DTS-HD which has been selected as an optional audio technology for Blu-Ray
Disc and HD-DVD. DTS-HD is a set of extensions to DTS' Coherent Acoustics audio
coding system which encompasses DTS Digital Surround, DTS-ES 6.1 discrete, DTS
Neo:6 and DTS 96/24. As a mandatory technology in the next generation standards,
a DTS decoder will be built into every HD-DVD or Blu-ray Disc player. A single
DTS-HD data stream on a disc can carry everything from standard DTS 5.1 playable
on virtually all existing 280 million plus DTS decoders, all the way to lossless
for next-generation systems.

MCACC (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration) is Pioneer’s dedicated equalisation system, created in conjunction with long-time partners AIR Studios. It is included on many of their A/V receivers. Using a supplied microphone it aims to tweak the audio parameters of your HTP SLH600 based on the layout of your listening area.

High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) v1.4
The HDMI v1.4 connections on the PIONEER HTP-SL100 allows for the transmission of 1080p 3D content between a
3D-compatible Blu-Ray Disc player and a 3D HD display. It also brings in
an audio return channel allowing for two-way transmission of audio. This
allows your television, for example, to send audio back from its
integrated tuner to the receiver, solving the problem of having to run
more than one cable between your A/V receiver and TV.

Auto Level Control is a form of on-the-fly equalisation which aims to compensate for sudden changes in volume between different sources or even between songs on the same source. The Advanced Sound Retriever technology helps to improve the quality of digital music and restore some of the dynamics lost in the compression process.

192Mhz/24-bit video DAC▲

Digital to analogue converter (DAC)
Converts the digital data signal into analogue signal that can be amplified and reproduced using speakers or headphones so that our ears can hear it.
In the case of video the data is converted into a video signal that can be reproduced by a display device so that we can see it.
Once data is converted to an analogue signal it then can degrade and lose its quality every step of the way. Most modern equipment is designed to keep data in the digital (Lossless) domain as long as possible.
In an ideal world data would be kept digital right up until the point that you see or hear it avoiding degradation.

Pre-outs allow you to expand the amount of speakers in your system by adding in additional power amplifiers. In this case, the VSX-S300 receiver has Surround pre-outs to add dedicated rear speakers for a more enveloping cinema experience, rather than stereo cinema playback.
