Movie mode
You can take advantage of surround sound simply by selecting one of the receiver’s pre-programmed sound fields. They
bring the exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters into your home.
HD-D.C.S.:
HD Digital Cinema Sound (HD-D.C.S.) is Sony’s new innovative home theater technology using the latest acoustic and
digital signal processing technologies. It is based on the precise response measurement data of a mastering studio.
With this mode, you can enjoy Blu-ray and DVD movies at home with not only a high-quality of sound but also the best
sound ambience, just as the movie’s sound engineer intended in the mastering process.
Dynamic: This setting is suitable for an environment which is reverberant but lacks a spacious feel (where sound
absorption is not sufficient). It emphasizes the reflection of sound and reproduces the sound of a large, classic movie
theater. This emphasizes the spacious feel of a dubbing theater and creates a unique acoustic field.
Theater: This setting is suitable for a general living room. It reproduces the reverberation of sound just like in a
movie theater (dubbing theater). It is most appropriate for watching content recorded on a Blu-ray Disc when you
want the atmosphere of a movie theater.
Studio: This setting is suitable for a living room with the appropriate sound devices. It reproduces the reverberation
of sound provided when a theatrical sound source is remixed for a Blu-ray Disc to a volume level suitable for home
use. The level of reflection and reverberation of sound is kept to a minimum, while dialogues and surround effects are
reproduced vividly.
PLII Movie:
Performs Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode decoding. This setting is ideal for movies encoded in Dolby Surround. In
addition, this mode can reproduce sound in 5.1-channel format when watching videos of overdubbed or old movies.
PLIIx Movie:

7.1 discrete movie channels.
