Physical meets virtual - for complete surround sound. Surround sound doesn't get any better than this. Physical 5.1-channel speakers plus virtual surround sound from Sony combine powerful real sound with extended virtual sound depth. The result is a room-filling experience of a special kind. Sound straight from the cinema. Experience authentic surround sound just like in the cinema - in your own living room. The BRAVIA Theatre System 6 supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, creating an immersive, multidimensional soundscape that brings films to life - just as the creators intended.
Sound from above. Thanks to Sony's virtual surround sound technology, the soundbar can also position the sound vertically in the room - so you can experience three-dimensional sound without the need for ceiling or upward-facing speakers. In addition to Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, the Vertical Surround Engine also provides a more realistic, multi-dimensional sound for other formats. Sound from the sides. Using the front speakers, Sony's unique digital sound field processing technology reproduces a surround sound sound sound field so that the sound reaches you from both sides. Experience rich surround sound like in the cinema without taking up much space.
Upmix stereo content to surround sound. Sony's unique upmixer ensures rich surround sound even with stereo content. Its innovative algorithm extracts and redistributes individual audio objects so you can immerse yourself in 3D sound. Electrifying 1,000 W total output power. Experience every moment more intensely with 1,000 W of immersive sound that fills every corner with sound using a soundbar, subwoofer and dedicated rear speakers.
The rear speakers are not wireless, the receiver they are connected to is wireless.
