theaters into your home.
xHD-D.C.S.
HD Digital Cinema Sound (HD-D.C.S.) is
Sony’s new innovative home theater
technology using the latest acoustic and
digital signal processing technologies. It is
based on precise response measurement
data of a mastering studio.
With this mode, you are able to enjoy Blu-
ray and DVD movies at home with not only
the high quality of sound, but also the best
sound ambience, just as the movie’s sound
engineer intended in the mastering process.
You can select the effect type for
HD-D.C.S. as follows.
•Dynamic: This setting is suitable for an
environment which is reverberant but
lacks a spacious feeling (where sound
absorption is not sufficient). It
emphasizes the reflection of sound and
reproduces the sound of a large, classical
movie theater. Thus, the spacious feeling
of a dubbing theater is emphasized and a
unique acoustic field is created.
•Theater: This setting is suitable for a
general living room. It reproduces the
reverberation of sound just like in a
movie theater (dubbing theater). It is most
appropriate for watching content
recorded on a Blu-ray Disc when you
want the atmosphere of a movie theater.
•Studio: This setting is suitable for a
living room with the appropriate sound
equipment. It reproduces the
reverberation of sound provided when a
theatrical sound source is remixed for a
Blu-ray Disc to a volume level suitable
for home use. The level of reflection and
reverberation of sound is kept to the
minimum. However, dialogues and
surround effects are reproduced vividly.
xPLII Movie
Performs Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode
decoding. This setting is ideal for movies
encoded in Dolby Surround. In addition,
this mode can reproduce sound in 5.1
channel for watching videos of overdubbed
or old movies.
xNeo:6 Cinema (Neo:6 CIN)
Performs DTS Neo:6 Cinema mode
decoding. A source recorded in 2 channel
format is decoded into 5 channels.
