About Cinema Studio EX

Cinema Studio EX consists of the following
three elements.

• Virtual Multi Dimension

Creates 5 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.

Tip

You can select Cinema Studio EX by pressing MODE
repeatedly.
