Enjoying Immersive
Surround Experience
(VERTICAL S.)
You can feel immersed by the sound
from not only the horizontal direction,
but also from the upward direction by
using Vertical Surround Engine*
effectively for sound modes (page 32)
other than [News]. This function also
works for the 2.0 channel signal such as
a TV program.
* Vertical Surround Engine is a highly
precise digital sound field processing
technology developed by Sony that
produces the sound field in the height
direction virtually in addition to a sound
field in the horizontal direction by only
using front speakers and without using
top speakers.
You do not need to install speakers on a
ceiling and you can enjoy the sound with
rich presence regardless of the ceiling
height. Also, this function is hardly
affected by the shape of a room because
it does not use the sound reflected from
a wall and enables improved surround
playback.
