Glossary
Cinema Studio EX
A surround sound mode that can be regarded 
as the compilation of Digital Cinema Sound 
technology, delivers the sound of a dubbing 
theater using three technologies: “Virtual 
Multi Dimensions”, “Screen Depth 
Matching”, and “Cinema Studio 
Reverberation”.
“Virtual Multi Dimensions”, the virtual 
speaker technology, creates a virtual multi-
surround environment with actual speakers up 
to 7.1 channels, and brings the surround sound 
experience of a theater with the latest facilities 
into your home.
“Screen Depth Matching” reproduces treble 
attenuation, fullness, and depth of sound 
usually created in a theater using sound 
emission from behind the screen. This is then 
added to the front and center channels.
“Cinema Studio Reverberation” reproduces 
the sound characteristics of state-of-the-art 
dubbing theaters and recording studios, 
including Sony Pictures Entertainment’s 
dubbing studios. There are three modes, A/B/
C, available according to the studio type.
Component video
A format for transmitting video signal 
information consisting of three separate 
signals: luminance Y, chrominance Pb, and 
chrominance Pr. High quality pictures, such as 
DVD video or HDTV pictures, are transmitted 
more faithfully. The three jacks are color-
coded green, blue, and red.
Composite video
A standard format for transmitting video 
signal information. The luminance signal Y 
and chrominance signal C are combined and 
transmitted together.
Crossover frequency
The frequency at which two speaker’s 
frequencies intersect.
Deep Colour (Deep Color)
Video signals for which the color depth of 
signals passing through an HDMI jack have 
been raised.
The number of colors that could be expressed 
by 1 pixel was 24 bits (16,777,216 colors) with 
the current HDMI jack. However, the number 
of colors which can be expressed by 1 pixel 
will be 36, etc., bits when the receiver 
corresponds to Deep Colour (Deep Color).
Since the gradation of the depth of a color can 
be expressed more finely with more bits, 
continuous color changes can be more 
smoothly expressed.
Digital Cinema Sound (DCS)
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 
filmmakers can be experienced at home.
Dolby Digital
Digital audio encoding/decoding technology 
developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. It 
consists of front (left/right), center, surround 
(left/right) and subwoofer channels. It is a 
designated audio standard for DVD-video and 
also known as 5.1 channels surround. Since 
surround information is recorded and 
reproduced in stereo, more realistic sound with 
fuller presence is delivered than with Dolby 
surround.
