S-VIDEO signal
A format for transmitting video signal 
information. S-video uses a single cable and 
two channels, one for the Luminance signal Y 
and another for the chrominance signal C. 
Better picture quality for recording and 
playback than that of Composite signal is 
achieved.
Technical terms
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 7.1ch (with 9.1ch speakers, “Virtual Multi 
Dimensions” will automatically be switched 
off), 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.
DC Phase Linearizer
With analog power amplifiers, phase shifts 
take place at frequencies lower than several 
tens of Hz. But with digital power amplifiers, 
phase does not shift so the phase characteristic 
is flat. Speakers available on the market are 
designed for analog amplifiers and therefore 
the performance at low frequencies does not 
match the characteristics of digital amplifiers. 
S-Master PRO reproduces the phase 
characteristics of analog amplifiers by digital 
processing to deliver familiar low frequency 
sounds.
Digital Cinema Sound (DCS)
Unique sound reproduction technology for 
home theater developed by Sony, in 
cooperation with Sony Pictures Entertainment,
