About CINEMA STUDIO EX modes
CINEMA STUDIO EX modes are suitable for

multi channel surround effects. You can

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

virtual speakers, you will not be able to hear any
so^d coming directly from the s^o^d speakers.
