About DCS (Digital Cinema
Sound)
In collaboration with Sony Pictures
Entertainment, Sony measured the sound
environment of their studios and integrated the
data of the measurement and Sony's own DSP
(Digital Signal Processor) technology to
develop "Digital Cinema Sound." "Digital
Cinema Sound" simulates in a home theater an
ideal movie theater sound environment based on
the preference of the movie director.

About Cinema Studio EX
Cinema Studio EX is ideal for enjoying the
movie software encoded with multi channel
format, such as the Dolby Digital DVD. This
mode reproduces the sound characteristics of
Sony Pictures Entertainment's studios.
Cinema Studio EX consists of the following 3
elements.
• Virtual Multi Dimension
Creates 5 sets of virtual speakers surrounding
the listener from a single pair of actual
surround speakers.
• Screen Depth Matching
In a movie theater, sound seems to come from
inside the image reflected on the movie screen.
This element creates the same sensation in
your listening room by shifting the sound of
the front speakers "into" the screen.
• Cinema Studio Reverberation
Reproduces the reverberations peculiar to a
movie theater. Cinema Studio EX is the
integrated mode which operates these
elements simultaneously.
Note
• The virtual speaker effect may cause increased noise
in the playback signal.
• When listening with sound fields that employ virtual
speakers, you will not be able to hear any sound
coming directly from the surround speakers.
Using only the front speaker
and subwoofer
x 2 CHANNEL STEREO
This mode outputs the sound from the front left
and right speakers and subwoofer. Standard 2
channel (stereo) sources completely bypass the
sound field processing. Multi channel surround
formats are downmixed to two channels.
This allows you to play any source using only
the front left and right speakers and subwoofer.
To turn the surround effect off
Press SOUND FIELD repeatedly until "A.F.D.
STD" or "2CH STEREO" appears in the front
panel display.
Tip
• The system memorizes the last sound field selected
for each function mode.
Whenever you select a function such as DVD or
TUNER, the sound field that was last applied to
function is automatically applied again. For example,
if you listen to DVD with PRO LOGIC as the sound
field, then change to another function, and then return
to DVD, PRO LOGIC will be applied again.
