What is Active 3D Surround?
In traditional stereo sound, left and right channels combine to create
a
stereo image. Better speakers can create a larger perceived sound
stage, so sound seems to emanate from a few feet behind the
monitor.Sound can have a much wider presence with Active 3D
surround technologies. Music and sound effects appear to come
from points in the room far from the speakers.Objects (such as
jets) seem to move towards and then past the listener, whilst the
important channel sound still appears to come from the centre of
the screen.
Optimum positioning
Sit at a distance of approximately 2 to 4 meters from the TV set.
Listen facing the centre of the TV set.
Remove any obstructions between you and the TV set.
