With this effect you can enjoy a 
surround sound effect similar to 
5.1ch.

3D surround 
effect

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.

Clear-mode 

dialog

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 is as 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.
