Operations RQT967023 This system provides a feeling that the sound and the image are as one. The 3D sound effect will be applied to Multi-channel audio sources as a factory preset. Dolby Virtual Speaker and the 3D surround effects can be turned off and on by changing the audio output mode settings. As a factory preset, Dolby Virtual Speaker and the 3D surround effects will be applied to Multi-channel audio sources, such as those from a Blu-ray Disc player TM or DVD player, etc. By changing the audio output setting, it is possible to apply the Dolby Virtual Speaker and 3D surround effects to 2ch audio sources, such as the audio from the TV. Press and hold [MUTE] for more than 2 sec. ≥The indicator for the current setting blinks for 10 sec. While the indicator is blinking, press [MUTE] again to change the setting. ≥The setting changes each time [MUTE] is pressed. §1 Depending on the audio source, Dolby Virtual Speaker and 3D surround effect settings are automatically adjusted. §2 This indicator will also light when the audio source is Multi- channel audio. When using the optical digital audio cable, Dolby Virtual Speaker and the 3D surround effect will be temporarily canceled if the audio signal’s sampling frequency is greater than 48 kHz. 3D sound 3D sound Dolby Virtual Speaker 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 are 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. e.g., Image of 3D sound field Audio output modes To change the audio output mode Audio output mode Dolby Virtual Speaker and 3D surround effect Multi-channel mode The effects are applied to all audio sources.
