Additional Information Glossary x 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 multisurround environment with actual speakers up to 7.1 channels, 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. x Component video A format for transmitting video signal information consisting of three separate signals: luminance Y, chrominance Pb, and chrominance Pr. High quality pictures, such as DVD video or HDTV pictures, are transmitted more faithfully. The three jacks are color coded green, blue and red. x Composite video A standard format for transmitting video signal information. The luminance signal Y and chrominance signal C are combined and transmitted together. x Digital Cinema Sound (DCS) 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 filmmakers can be experienced at home. x Dolby Digital Digital audio encoding/decoding technology developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. It consists of front (left/right), center, surround (left/right) and sub woofer channels. It is a designated audio standard for DVD-video and also known as 5.1 channel surround. Since surround information is recorded and reproduced in stereo, more realistic sound with fuller presence is delivered than with Dolby surround. x Dolby Digital Surround EX Acoustic technology developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Surround back information is matrixed into regular left and right surround channels so that the sound can be reproduced in 6.1 channel. Active scenes, especially, are recreated with a more dynamic and realistic sound field. x Dolby Pro Logic II This technology converts 2 channel stereo recorded audio into 5.1 channel for playback. There is a MOVIE mode for movies and MUSIC mode for stereo sources such as music. Old movies encoded in the traditional stereo format can be enhanced with 5.1 channel surround sound. 82US
