(> right) e.g., Image of 3D sound field Dolby® Virtual Speaker 3D surround effect Clear-mode dialog 3D sound With this effect you can enjoy a Surround Sound effect similar to 5.1ch. Adding to the Dolby Virtual Speaker effect, Panasonic has applied its 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. 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 are 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. ≥ Dolby Virtual Speaker effect is ON except in STEREO mode. ≥ To turn off Dolby Virtual Speaker and the 3D surround effects, select "STEREO" as the sound mode.
