About DCS (Digital Cinema 
Sound)
In collaboration with Sony Pictures 
Entertainment, Sony measured the sound 
environment of their studios and integrated the 
data of the measurement and the Sony DSP 
(Digital Signal Processor) technology to 
develop “Digital Cinema Sound.” “Digital 
Cinema Sound” simulates in a home theater an 
ideal movie theater sound environment based on 
the preference of the movie director.
About “MOVIE-D.C.S.-”
“MOVIE-D.C.S.-” 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.
“MOVIE-D.C.S.-” consists of the following 
three elements.
 Virtual Multi Dimension
The system 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

peculiar to a movie theater.
“MOVIE-D.C.S.-” is the integrated mode which 
operates these elements simultaneously.
Note The virtual speaker effect may cause increased noise 
in the playback signal. 
 With decoding modes that use virtual speakers, you 
will not be able to hear any sound coming directly 
from the surround speakers.
Changing the Sound
When the system is playing a BD/DVD VIDEO 
recorded in multiple audio formats (PCM, 
Dolby Digital, MPEG audio, or DTS), you can 
change the audio format. If the BD/DVD 
VIDEO is recorded with multilingual tracks, 
you can also change the language.
With a CD, you can select the sound from the 
right or left channel and listen to the sound of the 
selected channel through both the right and left 
speakers.
Press   repeatedly during playback to 
select the desired audio signal.
The audio information appears on the TV 
screen.
xBD/DVD VIDEO
Depending on the BD/DVD VIDEO, the choice 
of language varies.
When 4 digits are displayed, they indicate a 
language code. See “Language Code List” 
(page 149) to confirm which language the code 
represents. When the same language is 
displayed two or more times, the BD/DVD 
VIDEO is recorded in multiple audio formats.
