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.
