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.

Notes

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

•When listening with sound fields that employ the virtual speakers, you will not be able to hear any sound coming directly from the surround speakers.

•You can identify the encoding format of DVD software, etc. by looking at the logo on the package.

Notes

•Sound fields do not function for the signals with a sampling frequency of more than 48 kHz.

•When one of the following sound fields are selected, no sound is output from the sub woofer if all the speakers are set to “LARGE” in the SET UP menu. However, the sound will be output from the sub woofer if the digital input signal contains LFE (Low Frequency Effect) signals, or if the front, center, or surround speakers are set to “SMALL”.
