About DCS (Digital Cinema Sound)

C.ST.EX A, EX B and EX C use DCS technology. In the 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 theater an ideal movie theater sound environment based on the preference of movie director.

To cancel the surround effect

Press SOUND FIELD + or – repeatedly until “A.F.D. AUTO” or “2CH STEREO” appears.

Note

During recording, the speaker output is fixed to “2CH” and the sound field is fixed to “2CH STEREO”.

Adjusting the sound
