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.
