Transforming any room into the ideal listening environment is now simpler than ever. With Digital Cinema Auto Calibration (D.C.A.C), audio performance is automatically calibrated according to the shape, size and construction of your room. Simply place the supplied calibration microphone at your usual listening spot, position the speakers and connect them to the receiver to activate D.C.A.C.
Dolby Digital
Formerly know as AC-3. Dolby Digital has five separate sound channels plus one or low frequencies (bass). The result is a highly effective and dramatic surround system with sound quality better than many cinemas. Dolby Digital requires a digital source such as DVD or AC-3 encoded laserdiscs.
DVD Video
Digital Versatile Disc (DVD), the next generation of optical disc storage technology, which is bigger and faster CD that can hold cinema-like video, better-than-CD audio, VCD and computer data.
MP3
Sony brings all Audio to the Internet Age with this system compatible with MP3 digital music files. Now you can play all the tunes you have downloaded from the web, along with your favorite MP3s or CDs.
Sony’s Systems are equipped with S-Master Digital Amplifier for superb accuracy, clear separation of signals, and balanced sound reproduction using a digital-to-digital process. They are designed to be highly efficient, producing minimal heat while taking up about a quarter of the space of conventional amplifiers.
S-Master accepts all digital signals in digital and cleanly amplifies the signal in “digital” without needing to convert it into analogue first. Using a simplified signal path and full digital processing, the audio signal is taken directly from DSP stage without additional D/A conversion. This keeps the purity of the digital audio signal right up to the final speaker output, reproducing a realistic sound experience just like the original recording.
Dolby Pro-Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II is an advanced matrix decoder that derives five-channel surround (Left, Center, Right, Left Surround, and Right Surround) from any stereo program material, whether or not it has been specifically Dolby Surround encoded.
Digital Cinema Sound
Conventional auto tracking system check tracking once you press play, but Sony’s digital auto Tracking System uses an 8-bit micro processor to continuously monitor and maintain optimum tracking to assure superior picture and sound quality.
Dolby Laboratories was dominant during the era of analog audio. But with the advent of digitalization, one of the new sound processing systems to be developed was the DTS by Digital Theater Systems Inc.
The one-touch operation of “BRAVIA” Theatre Sync opens a whole new world of connectivity and entertainment simplicity, allowing full control of Sony’s home theatre system with a single remote commander.
