Sound fields with DCS  marks use DCS
technology.

DCS is the concept name of the surround
technology for home theater developed by
Sony. DCS uses the DSP (Digital Signal
Processor) technology to reproduce the sound
characteristics of an actual cinema cutting
studio in Hollywood.

When played at home, DCS will create a
powerful theater effect that mimics the artistic
combination of sound and action as envisioned
by the movie director.

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.
There are three CINEMA STUDIO EX modes.
