Adjusting Sound Quality
The following sound quality adjustments can be performed on the remote control screen on the app or on the supplied remote control.
Operating using the remote control screen on the app
When an app-compatible BRAVIA is connected to the speaker system using an HDMI cable, select [Picture & Sound].
-
[Sound field]
Outputs sound with the surround sound effect. This setting can be used to experience surround sound with a sense of presence.
-
[Voice mode]
Emphasizes dialog and makes it easier to hear.
-
[Voice Zoom]
This function is enabled when a Sony TV compatible with the linkage function of the speaker system is connected. When TV input is selected on the speaker system, the voice zoom works instead of the voice mode.
The voice zoom can adjust only the volume of the human voice without changing the overall volume. The voice volume of the newscaster can be adjusted to be louder to make it easier to hear, and the voice volume can be adjusted to be quieter for live sports broadcasts or other situations where the commentary or play-by-play commentary is too loud.
-
[Night mode]
Outputs clear sound even at a low volume for late night use and features clear dialog and minimum loss of fidelity.
Operating using the supplied remote control
Each time you press a button on the supplied remote control, the setting changes and the setting appears in the front panel display on the control box.
