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.
About CINEMA STUDIO EX modes
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.
Notes
• 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.
Selecting a sound field for 
music
Press MUSIC repeatedly to select the 
sound field you want.
The selected sound field appears in the display.

JAZZ (JAZZ CLUB)

When the headphones are 
connected
You can select only from the following sound 
fields.
HP 2CH (HEADPHONE 2CH)
Outputs the sound in 2 channel (stereo). Standard 2 
channel stereo sources completely bypass the sound 
field processing and multi channel surround formats 
are downmixed to 2 channels.
HP THEA (HEADPHONE THEATER) 
DCS
Allows you to experience a theater-like environment 
while listening through a pair of headphones. 
Note
If you connect a pair of headphones while a sound field 
is operating, the system will automatically switch to 
HEADPHONE 2CH if using a sound field selected 
with the 2CH or A.F.D. button, or to HEADPHONE 
THEATER if using a sound field selected with the 
MOVIE or MUSIC button. 
To turn off the surround effect
Press 2CH to select “2CH ST.” or press A.F.D. 
repeatedly to select “A.F.D. AUTO”.
Tips
• 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 
SA-CD/CD input, then change to a different input 
and then return to SA-CD/CD, HALL will 
automatically be applied again.
• You can identify the encoding format of DVD 
software, etc. by looking at the logo on the package.

: Dolby Surround encoded 
programs

Note
Sound fields do not function for the signals with a 
sampling frequency of more than 48 kHz.
