x C.ST.EX C (CINEMA STUDIO EX C)

 DCS

Reproduces the sound characteristics of the Sony 
Pictures Entertainment scoring stage. This mode is 
ideal for watching musicals or films where orchestra 
music is featured in the soundtrack.

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.

• 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.

The selected sound field appears in the display.

• The receiver lets you apply the last selected sound 

field to an input whenever it is selected (Sound Field 
Link). For example, if you select HALL for the

and then return to SA-CD/CD, HALL will 
automatically be applied again.
