About DCS (Digital Cinema
Sound)
Sound fields with DCS mark use DCS
technology.
DCS is a unique sound reproduction
technology for home theater developed by
Sony, in cooperation with Sony Pictures
Entertainment, 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 film makers can be experienced at
home.
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.
•This function does not work signals with a
sampling frequency of more than 48 kHz.
• When one of the following sound fields is selected,
no sound is output from the sub woofer if all the
speakers are set to “LARGE” on the SYSTEM
menu. However, the sound will be output from the
sub woofer if the digital input signal contains LFE
signals, or if the front or surround speakers are set
to “SMALL”.
