Surround sound with Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force Pro Front Surround Technology

With support of Dolby Atmos in the HT-Z9F sound bar, audiences will get a sense of helicopters whizzing above and car chase action clashing around you.

Combined with Sony’s Vertical Surround Engine and the S- Force PRO Front Surround technology, which improves the existing surround sound, it now recreates the feeling of being surrounded by speakers for a true home theatre environment.

Virtual three-dimensional sound can be enjoyed thanks to the “Vertical S.” button on the remote that pushes the HT-Z9F to up-mix 2ch stereo content up to 7.1.2ch. If users wish to add a pair of rear speakers, the SA-Z9R is designed to go with the HT-Z9F and can extend the surround sound experience.
