x 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 precise response measurement data of a mastering studio.

With this mode, you are able to enjoy Bluray and DVD movies at home with not only the 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 feeling (where sound absorption is not sufficient). It emphasizes the reflection of sound and reproduces the sound of a large, classical movie theater. Thus, the spacious feeling of a dubbing theater is emphasized and a unique acoustic field is created.

Theater: This setting is suitable for a

• general living room. It reproduces the reverberation of sound just like in a movie theater (dubbing th eater). 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 equipment. 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 the minimum. However, dialogues and surround effects are reproduced vividly.

x 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 for watching v ideos of overdubbed or old movies.

x PLIIx Movie

Performs Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie mode decoding. This setting expands Dolby Pro Logic II Movie or Dolby Digital 5.1 to discrete 7.1 movie channels.

x PLIIz Movie (PLIIz)

Performs Dolby Pro Logic IIz mode decoding. This setting can expand a source sound from a 5.1 channel to a 7.1 channel to which a vertical equipment is applied, and gives a dimension of presence and depth.

x Stadium (STADIUM)

Reproduces the feeling of a large open-air stadium.

x Sports (SPORTS)

Reproduces the feeling of sports broadcasting.

x Neo:6 Cinema (Neo:6 CIN)

Performs DTS Neo:6 Cinema mode decoding. A source recorded in 2 channel format is decoded into 7 channels.

Music 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 concert halls into your home.

When headphones are connected

You can only select this sound field if the headphones are connected to the receiver.

x Headphone (2ch) (HP 2CH)

This mode is selected automatically if you use headphones (except “2ch Analog Direct”). Standard 2 channel stereo sources completely bypass the sound field processing and multi channel surround formats are downmixed to 2 channels except LFE signals.

x Headphone (Direct) (HP

DIRECT)

This mode is selected automatically if you use headphones when “2ch Analog Direct” is selected. Outputs the analog signals without processing by the equalizer, sound field, etc.

If you connect a subwoofer

This receiver will generate a low frequen cy signal for output to the subwoofer when there is no LFE signal, which is a low-pass sound effect output from a subwoofer to a 2 channel signal. However, the low frequency signal is not generated for “Neo:6 Cinema” or “Neo:6 Music” when all speakers are set to “Large”. In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital bass redirection circuitry, we recommend setting the subwoofer’s cut off frequency as high as possible.

• This function does not work when “2ch Analog Direct” is being used.

To adjust the size of each speaker

You can adjust each speaker’s (front left/ right, front high left/right, center, surround left/right, surround back left/right) size.

1 Select the speaker on the screen for

which you want to adjust the size, then press .

2 Select “Size”, then press V/v to

adjust the size.

• Large: If you connect large speakers

that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “Large”. Normally, select “Large”.

• Small: If the sound is distorted, or you

feel a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select “Small” to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the bass frequencies of each channel from the subwoofer or other “Large” speakers.

Note

This function does not work when “2ch Analog Direct” is being used.

Tips

• The “Large” and “Small” settings for each speaker determine whether the internal sound processor will cut the bass signal from that channel. When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass frequencies to the subwoofer or other “Large” speakers. However, since bass sound has a certain amount of directionality, it is best not to cut it, if possible. Therefore, even when using small speakers, you can set them to “Large” if you want to output the bass frequencies from that speaker. On the other hand, if you are using a large speaker, but prefer not to have bass frequencies output from that speaker, set it to “Small”. If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer, set all speakers to “Large”. If there is not enough bass, you can use the equalizer to boost the bass levels.

• The surround back speakers will be set to the same setting as that of the surround speakers.

• When the front speakers are set to “Small”, the center, surround, and surround back/front high speakers are also automatically set to “Small”.

• If you do not use the subwoofer, the front speakers are automatically set to “Large”.

• When headpones are connected, Size and Distance cannot be set.
