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 rear speakers.

In a movie theater, sound seems to come from inside the image reflected on the movie screen. This element is recreated the same way in your listening room, by shifting the sound of the front speakers “into” the screen.

Reproduces the reverberations peculiar to a movie theater.
Cinema Studio EX is an integrated mode which operates these elements simultaneously.
