x Dolby Pro Logic II MOVIE/MUSIC
Dolby Pro Logic II produces five full-bandwidth
output channels from 2 channel sources. This is
done using an advanced, high-purity matrix
surround decoder that extracts the spatial
properties of the original recording without
adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.
Note
• When the input signal is multi channel source, Dolby
Pro Logic and Dolby Pro Logic II MOVIE/MUSIC
are canceled and the multi channel source is output
directly.
• When the bilingual broadcast sound is input, Dolby
Pro Logic and Dolby Pro Logic II MOVIE/MUSIC
are not effective.
Outputting XM radio signals in
the multi channel surround
format
x NEURAL SURROUND
The system outputs signals in the multi channel
surround format when the system receives an
XM Radio surround broadcast. When the system
receives a stereo broadcast, the stereo sound is
emphasized.
Note
• NEURAL SURROUND is activated as a PCM signal
or 2 channel analog signal. The NEURAL
SURROUND processing will be turned off
automatically when another type of signal is input.
The beginning of the sound may be dropped out when
this processing is turned on/off. In this case, the sound
field is set to “A.F.D. STD” automatically.

ideal movie theater sound environment based on
the preference of the movie director.

About Cinema Studio EX
Cinema Studio EX is ideal for enjoying movie
software encoded with multi channel format,
such as the Dolby Digital DVD. This mode
reproduces the sound characteristics of Sony
Pictures Entertainment’s studios.
Cinema Studio EX consists of the following
three elements.
• Virtual Multi Dimension
Creates five 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.
