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 HD-D.C.S., you are able to enjoy Blu-ray 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.
You can select the effect type for HD-D.C.S. For details, see “About the effect
type for HD-D.C.S.” (page 69).
