Glossary
xCinema Studio EX
A surround sound mode that can be regarded 
as the compilation of Digital Cinema Sound 
technology, delivers the sound of a dubbing 
theatre using three technologies: “Virtual 
Multi Dimensions”, “Screen Depth 
Matching”, and “Cinema Studio 
Reverberation”. 
“Virtual Multi Dimensions”, the virtual 
speaker technology, creates a virtual multi-
surround environment with actual speakers up 
to 7.1 channels, and brings the surround sound 
experience of a theatre with the latest facilities 
into your home.
“Screen Depth Matching” reproduces treble 
attenuation, fullness, and depth of sound 
usually created in a theatre 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 theatres and recording studios, 
including Sony Pictures Entertainment’s 
dubbing studios. There are three modes, A/B/
C, available according to the studio type.
xComponent 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.
xComposite video
A standard format for transmitting video 
signal information. The luminance signal Y 
and chrominance signal C are combined and 
transmitted together.
xDigital Cinema Sound (DCS)
A unique sound reproduction technology for 
home theatre developed by Sony, in 
cooperation with Sony Pictures Entertainment, 
for enjoying the exciting and powerful sound 
of movie theatres 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.
xDolby 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.
xDolby 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.
xDolby Surround (Dolby Pro 
Logic)
Audio processing technology developed by 
Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Center and mono 
surround information is matrixed into two 
stereo channels. When reproduced, audio is 
decoded and output in 4 channel surround 
sound. This is the most common audio 
processing method for DVD video.
