CINEMA STUDIO EX B DCS [C.ST.EX B] Reproduces the sound characteristics of the Sony Pictures Entertainment “Kim Novak Theater” cinema production studio.
About DCS (Digital Cinema Sound) Sound fields with DCS mark use DCS technology. DCS is a unique sound reproduction technology for home theater developed by Sony, in cooperation with Sony Pictures Entertainment, for enjoying the exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters at home. With this “Digital Cinema Sound” developed by integrating a DSP (Digital signal processor) and measured data, the ideal sound field intended by film makers can be experienced at home.
Using only the front speakers and sub woofer (2CH STEREO) In this mode, the receiver outputs the sound from the front left/right speakers and the sub woofer. When multi channel surround formats are input, the signals are downmixed to 2 channel with bass frequencies being output from the sub woofer. When standard 2 channel stereo sources are input, the receiver’s bass redirection circuitry will be activated. The front channel bass frequencies will be output from the sub woofer.
