for enjoying the exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters at home. With this “Digital Cinema Sound” developed by integrating a DSP (Digital signal processor) and measured data, the ideal sound field intended by filmmakers can be experienced at home.

xDigital Concert Hall

“Digital Concert Hall” delivers richer sound for 2ch stereo sources such as CDs, etc. With the use of 5.1ch or 7.1ch speakers and virtual speaker technology, stereoscopic reverberation and reflected sound are reproduced, and music software can be enjoyed with richer sound and presence. The sound field in a concert hall is recreated by a geometrical analysis of the concert hall and precise modeling of reflected and reverberant sounds based on actual measured data. Tonal qualities such as sound strength and frequency response are taken into account and calculated on the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) to bring reverberation in. Sound is enjoyed with natural and comfortable resonance, as if listening to music in a concert hall.

xPulse Height Volume

Pulse Height Volume, one feature of the S- Master PRO technology. adjusts the sound volume by controlling the pulse height. This method loses no information and reproduces higher quality sound than adjusting the sound volume by digital processing.

x“S-Master”

This receiver is equipped with an “S-Master” full digital amplifier - a unique digital amplifier developed by Sony with the following features.

1:Full digital processing

The signals are processed fully in digital, and never go through the analog domain at any time. As a result, the signal process is always clean and accurate, and is not affected by noise interference at signal paths which is often the case with analog processing. In addition, S- Master processing is both simple and high- speed, thus providing high fidelity sound even

with vast information signals, like Super Audio CDs.

2:Low heat emission

Another advantage to S-Master technology is its low heat emission. The S-Master process does not generate the same level of heat as analog amplification does. This means that not only is the S-Master more efficient, the sound quality is not affected because there is no heat to distort the final formation of the sound waves.
