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.

•This function does not work for signals with a sampling frequency of more than 48 kHz.
