Movie Mode - Sony STR-ZA3000ES User Manual

Movie mode

You can take advantage of surround sound simply by selecting one of the receiver's pre-
programmed sound fields. They bring the exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters into
your home.
HD-D.C.S.:
HD Digital Cinema Sound (HD-D.C.S.) is Sony's new innovative home theater technology
using the latest acoustic and digital signal processing technologies. It is based on the precise
response measurement data of a mastering studio.
With this mode, you can enjoy Blu-ray and DVD movies at home with not only a high-quality
of sound but also the best sound ambience, just as the movie's sound engineer intended in
the mastering process.
Dynamic: This setting is suitable for an environment which is reverberant but lacks a
spacious feel (where sound absorption is not sufficient). It emphasizes the reflection of
sound and reproduces the sound of a large, classic movie theater. This emphasizes the
spacious feel of a dubbing theater and creates a unique acoustic field.
Theater: This setting is suitable for a general living room. It reproduces the reverberation
of sound just like in a movie theater (dubbing theater). It is most appropriate for watching
content recorded on a Blu-ray Disc when you want the atmosphere of a movie theater.
Studio: This setting is suitable for a living room with the appropriate sound devices. It
reproduces the reverberation of sound provided when a theatrical sound source is
remixed for a Blu-ray Disc to a volume level suitable for home use. The level of reflection
and reverberation of sound is kept to a minimum, while dialogues and surround effects
are reproduced vividly.
Pro Logic II (PRO LOGIC II):

in Dolby Surround. In addition, this mode can reproduce sound in 5.1-channel format when
watching videos of overdubbed or old movies.
Pro Logic IIx (PRO LOGIC IIx):
Performs Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie mode decoding. This setting expands Dolby Pro Logic II
Movie or Dolby Digital 5.1 to 7.1 discrete movie channels.
