About Cinema Studio EX
Cinema Studio EX consists of the following
three 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.
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.
