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.
•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.

The effects provided by the virtual speakers may cause increased noise in the playback signal.
