Vertical Surround Engine, our advanced surround technology, lets you enjoy the thrill of the latest theater audio formats like Dolby Atmos/ DTS:X in a single slim unit. Its three front speakers, combined with unique Sony signal processing, reproduce "vertical" audio, creating virtual surround sound that seems to come from all around you. Thanks to Sony's virtual-surround technology, the soundbar can position sound in vertical space—so you can experience 3D audio without the need for in-ceiling or up-firing speakers. As well as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Vertical Surround Engine lends a more realistic, multidimensional sound to other formats too. Using front speakers only, Sony's unique digital-sound-field-processing technology virtually reproduces the surround sound field, with audio coming at you from both sides. There's no need to add rear speakers, meaning you can enjoy rich, cinematic surround sound without cluttering your living space. In a modern movie theater there are speakers all around you, each with their finely tuned sounds, combining to make a fully immersive surround sound experience. Hit the Immersive AE (Audio Enhancement) button and the HT-G700 can upscale even regular stereo audio to 7.1.2 surround sound—so every TV show and movie gets the surround sound treatment. A dedicated center speaker ensures that voice sounds can be clearly heard, whether it's quick-fire dialog in your favorite TV show or whispered lines in a Hollywood movie. It's great for music too, ensuring a richly detailed listening experience. A button for every sound—choose the one that's right for whatever you're watching or listening to. Take your pick from Auto Sound, Standard Surround, Cinema, Music, Night and Voice modes and use subwoofer volume control to fine-tune your viewing experience. A powerful wireless subwoofer delivers a deeper, richer bass sound—and with simple wireless connection, where you place it is up to you. Connect a compatible TV or device wirelessly via Bluetooth technology, or use the HDMI eARC/ARC or optical digital input for full-bandwidth sound.
