Features
This product is a bar-shaped speaker system for your TV that allows you to easily enjoy surround sound on the TV with a rich sense of presence.
By connecting the product to the Internet, audio playback from streaming services and use of the voice assistant “Amazon Alexa” are also available.
In addition, this product is compatible with “TRUE X SURROUND” that provides real surround sound using wireless speakers as surround speakers for the product.
Produce surround sound just by connecting to a TV
The “height speakers” built into the top of the sound bar which are designed exclusively to add a vertical dimension to the sound, together with “Dolby Atmos” object-based audio technology, allow for virtually reproducing sound not only from horizontal directions, but also from varying heights. This gives a vastness to the sound that seems to envelop your whole body, and enhances the feeling of being immersed in the worlds of movies, television, and music.
Produce real surround sound using the TRUE X SURROUND function
The TRUE X SURROUND function provides real surround sound just by using TRUE X SURROUND compatible wireless speakers as surround speakers for the sound bar.
When playing audio in ALL mode of the TRUE X SURROUND function, the same audio is output from the sound bar and from the wireless speakers. This mode is useful for playing audio as background music in a large room.
For details, see the following TRUE X SURROUND Connection and Operation Guide.

Clear Voice
This function focuses on the acoustic image of human voices such as dialog and narration within the audio and emphasizes the voices without changing the overall volume or individuality of the sound. Only the human voices become easier to hear, and it gives a clear sense of localization to the human voices.
