VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround) TV
Uses sound imaging to create virtual rear
speakers from the sound of the front speakers
(L, R) without using actual rear speakers
(shown below). The sound imaging effect is
distinct and clearly reproduces each aural
element of the audio track. This mode is
effective when the distance between the front L
and R speakers is short, such as with built-in
speakers on a stereo TV.
L
VIRTUAL SEMI MULTI DIMENSION
Uses sound imaging to create 5 sets of virtual
rear speakers from the sound of the front
speakers (L, R) without using actual rear
speakers. The virtual speakers are reproduced
as shown in the illustration below. This gives
the sound an expanded effect that fills the area
surrounding the listener.
