technology. DCS is a unique sound
reproduction technology for home theater

Pictures Entertainment, for enjoying the
exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters

developed by integrating a DSP (Digital signal
processor) and measured data, the ideal sound
field intended by filmmakers can be
experienced at home.
About CINEMA STUDIO EX
modes
CINEMA STUDIO EX modes are suitable for
watching motion picture DVDs (etc.), with
multi channel surround effects. You can
reproduce the sound characteristics of Sony
Pictures Entertainment’s dubbing studio in
your home.
The CINEMA STUDIO EX modes consist of
the following three elements.
• Virtual Multi Dimension
Creates 5 sets of virtual speakers from a
single pair of actual surround speakers.
• Screen Depth Matching
Creates the sensation that the sound is
coming from inside the screen like in
theaters.
• Cinema Studio Reverberation
Reproduces the type of reverberation found
in theaters.
The CINEMA STUDIO EX modes integrate
these three elements simultaneously.
Notes
• The effects provided by the virtual speakers may
cause increased noise in the playback signal.
• When listening with sound fields that employ the
virtual speakers, you will not be able to hear any
sound coming directly from the surround speakers.
• This function does not work for signals with a
sampling frequency of more than 48 kHz.
