Q: Does "These were completely incompatible with standard record playback preamplifiers, relying on the dbx compandor encoding/decoding scheme to greatly increase dynamic range (dbx encoded disks were recorded with the dynamic range compressed by a factor of two in dB: quiet sounds were meant to be played back at low gain and loud sounds were meant to be played back at high gain, via automatic gain control in the playback equipment; this reduced the effect of surface noise on quiet passages)." provide a valid answer to "What was the intention of DBX encoded recordings?"?
A: yes

Q: Does "In practice, therefore, the synodal statutes of various localities must be consulted to discover whether they allow quiet hunting or prohibit it altogether." provide a valid answer to "Where did synods prohibit all hunting at?"?

Q: Does "By the time so-called "glass TTYs" (later called CRTs or terminals) came along, the convention was so well established that backward compatibility necessitated continuing the convention." provide a valid answer to "What programming did IBM use in the 1970s?"?
A: no

Q: Does "Unlike other data cables (e.g., Ethernet, HDMI), each end of a USB cable uses a different kind of connector; a Type-A or a Type-B. This kind of design was chosen to prevent electrical overloads and damaged equipment, as only the Type-A socket provides power." provide a valid answer to "What are the different kinds of USB connectors?"?
A:
yes
