Selecting a sound field (continued)

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 surround 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.

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.

xHALL

Reproduces the acoustics of a rectangular concert hall.

xJAZZ (Jazz Club)

Reproduces the acoustics of a jazz club.

xCONCERT (Live Concert)

Reproduces the acoustics of a 300-seat live house.

To turn the surround effect off

Press A.F.D. to select “A.F.D. AUTO” or press SOUND FIELD +/– repeatedly to select “2CH ST.”.

Tips

The receiver lets you apply the last selected sound field to a program source whenever it is selected (Sound Field Link). For example, if you listen to CD with “JAZZ” as the sound field, change to a different program source, then return to CD, “JAZZ” will be applied again.

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