About S-Force PRO Front Surround
Sony’s long-term involvement in surround technology (and 
the vast amounts of acoustic data accumulated as a result) has 
led to the development of all-new processing method and 
advanced DSP to handle this task effectively, which we call 
S-Force PRO Front Surround. Compared with previous front 
surround technologies, S-Force PRO Front Surround 
reproduces a more convincing sense of distance and space, 
resulting in a true surround sound experience without the 
need for rear speakers.
