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 theatre an
ideal movie theatre sound environment based on
the preference of the movie director.
Tip
When you want to output the TV sound or stereo sound
of a 2 channel source from the 6 speakers of the system,
select a sound field other than “AUTO FORMAT
DIRECT AUTO” or “2 CHANNEL STEREO”.
When using headphones
Automatic decoding of the
audio input signal (AUTO
FORMAT DIRECT AUTO)
The auto decoding function automatically
detects the type of audio signal being input
(Dolby Digital, DTS, or standard 2 channel
stereo) and performs the proper decoding if
necessary. This mode presents the sound as it
was recorded/encoded, without adding any
effects (e.g. reverberation).
However, if there are no low frequency signals
(Dolby Digital LFE, etc.), it will generate a low
frequency signal for output to the subwoofer.
Press SOUND FIELD +/– on the remote
repeatedly until “A.F.D. AUTO” appears in
the front panel display.
