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.
