About Cinema Studio EX
Cinema Studio EX is ideal for enjoying the
movie software encoded with multi channel
format, such as the Dolby Digital DVD. This
mode reproduces the sound characteristics of
Sony Pictures Entertainment’s studios.
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.

Reproduces the reverberations peculiar to a
movie theater.
Cinema Studio EX is the integrated mode which
operates these elements simultaneously.

About DCS (Digital Cinema
Sound)

technology. In the collaboration with Sony
Pictures Entertainment, Sony measured the
sound environment of their studios and
integrated the data of the measurement and
Sony’s own DSP (Digital Signal Processor)
technology to develop “Digital Cinema Sound”.
“Digital Cinema Sound” simulates in a home
theater an ideal movie theater sound
environment based on the preference of movie
director.
