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.
