In collaboration with Sony Pictures 
Entertainment, Sony measured the sound 
environment of their studios and integrated the 
data of the measurement and Sony’s own DSP 
(Digital Signal Processor) technology to 
develop “Digital Cinema Sound.” “Digital 
Cinema Sound” simulates in a home theater an 
ideal movie theater sound environment based on 
the preference of the movie director.

Cinema Studio EX consists of the following 3 
elements.
• Virtual Multi Dimension

Creates 5 sets of virtual speakers surrounding 
the listener from a single pair of actual 
surround speakers.

• Screen Depth Matching

In a movie theater, sound seems to come from 
inside the image reflected on the movie screen. 
This element creates the same sensation in 
your listening room by shifting the sound of 
the front speakers “into” the screen.

• Cinema Studio Reverberation

Reproduces the reverberations peculiar to a 
movie theater. Cinema Studio EX is the 
integrated mode which operates these 
elements simultaneously.

• The virtual speaker effect may cause increased noise 

in the playback signal. 

• When listening with sound fields that employ virtual 

speakers, you will not be able to hear any sound 
coming directly from the surround speakers.

x 2 CHANNEL STEREO

and right speakers and subwoofer. Standard 2 
channel (stereo) sources completely bypass the 
sound field processing. Multi channel surround 
formats are downmixed to two channels.
This allows you to play any source using only 
the front left and right speakers and subwoofer.

This mode outputs the sound as surround from 
headphone L/R. 

x HEADPHONE 2 CHANNEL STEREO

completely bypass the sound field processing.
