What is ambient room-filling sound?
Whether you’re reading, cooking, working, or catching up with friends, ambient room-filling sound is the perfect accompaniment. Like the background music in your favourite café, it’s calm and unobtrusive, with sound diffused both horizontally and vertically to create just the right atmosphere anywhere in your home.

But if they’re not available, no problem – Immersive Audio Enhancement, a unique Sony algorithm, effectively delivers your favourite stereo tracks as ambient room-filling sound.
