HD-D.C.S. has three different types: 
Theater, Dynamic, and Studio. Each type 
has different reflection and reverberation 
sound mixture levels and is optimized to 
match a listener’s room uniqueness, taste 
and mood.
• Theater
Theater type (default setting) mixes 
reflection and reverberation sound 
creating the characteristics of a mastering 
studio. Additionally, this type mixes in 
frequency characteristics that are often 
found in professional studios and movie 
theaters. It is ideal for watching movies in 
a listening room that has less 
reverberation.
• Dynamic
Want to enjoy the sound effects to the full 
extent, just like at the movie theaters?
Dynamic type emphasizes on the 
reflection sound. Without HD-D.C.S., 
many rooms are often somewhat 
reverberant but lack a spacious feeling. 
This type acoustically opens up those 
types of rooms and provides a spacious 
and dynamism feeling equivalent to a 
mastering studio.
• Studio
In Studio type, effects are kept to a 
minimum, while still providing a great 
theater experience. This type provides the 
accuracy of the original recording.
