the action, allowing for greater concentration. Use this program in combination with

the sound field for natural and realistic reproduction of background music, special effects,
and dialogue from a wide variety of scenes. Use this program in combination with

yourself. Immerse yourself in the hot concert atmosphere thanks to the vividness of the

instruments, and a surround sound field that reproduces the space of a big live hall.
