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.
