This unit provides a feeling that the sound and the image are as
one.
∫ 3D Surround
Even though there are no surround speakers, a surround effect
is obtained by the use of Dolby Virtual Speaker. Adding to this
effect, Panasonic has applied it’s own sound field controlling
technology to expand the sound field forwards, backwards,
upwards and downwards providing a sound with depth and
force that better matches 3D images.
∫ Clear-mode Dialog
Sports commentary and dialogs from TV dramas are heard as if
the sound is coming from the TV, giving the feeling that the
sound and the image is as one.
Also, the dialog will stand out from the other sounds during
normal volume playback and when the volume is lowered for
night time viewing.
With this setting it is possible to choose between listening to the audio in 2 ch mode or with a surround
effect.
The surround effect can be added to 2 ch audio source as well as multi-channel sources.
