You can control the TV with the TV remote control by sending the remote signal from the rear of the bar speaker.

Even if [IR REPEATER] is set to [ON], this function may not work depending on your TV. Also, the remote controls of other devices such as an air conditioner may not work correctly. In this case, change the installation position of the system or TV.

Adjusting the Sound Quality

Enjoying Immersive

Surround Experience

(IMMERSIVE AE)

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 28). 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.
