Achieve true 3D surround sound including height
channel audio with the unit alone
Until now, digital sound projectors have reproduced a two-dimensional sound field with
five distinct sound beams: left front, right front, center, left surround, and right surround.
This unit reproduces a three-dimensional sound field offering a greater sense of
immersion and depth by directing additional two sound beams (left height and right
height) upward. It also enables playback in the DTS:X or Dolby Atmos format, which
uses height channel audio signals as input sources. It further incorporates CINEMA
DSP 3D, which produces a more effective sound field.
Dialog Lift function
When playing movies, this feature can be adjusted so that audio such as narratives and
dialog is output from the center speakers, as in a movie theater where speakers are
installed behind the screen, allowing for a sense of integration of conversation with the
movements of the actors (p. 42).
