About the effect type for HD-
D.C.S.
HD-D.C.S. has three different types:
Dynamic, Theater, and Studio. Each type has
different reflection and reverberation sound
mixture levels and is optimized to match a
listener’s room uniqueness, taste and mood.
x Dynamic
The “Dynamic” setting is suitable for an
environment which is reverberant but lacks a
spacious feeling (where sound absorption is
not sufficient). This setting 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.
x Theater
Factory default setting. The “Theater” setting
is suitable for a general living room. This
setting 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.
x Studio
The “Studio” setting is suitable for a living
room with the appropriate sound equipment.
This setting 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.

Additional Information
Precautions
On safety
On cleaning
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
cabinet, unplug the receiver and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with soft
dry cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad,
scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or
benzine.
On power sources
• Before operating the receiver, check that the
operating voltage is identical with your local
power supply.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your receiver, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
The operating voltage is indicated on the
nameplate on the back of the receiver.
• If you are not going to use the receiver for a
long time, be sure to disconnect the receiver
from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC
power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug
itself; never pull the cord.
• One blade of the plug is wider than the other
for the purpose of safety and will fit into the
wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact
your dealer.
• AC power cord (mains lead) must be
changed only at a qualified service shop.
On heat buildup
