The Voice Mode feature is similarly effective, using Sony\u2019s Voice Zoom 3 to elevate dialog. Like the Sound Field, it\u2019s not always useful and can create some balancing issues between the central channel and side-channel effects (more on that below), so you may want to keep it off until necessary.<\/p>\n

Diving deeper into the settings lets you adjust things like compression for volume balancing, add or remove your Sony TV as the center channel, and even adjust the overall soundstage height, useful if you need to raise or lower the speakers due to setup limitations. I also appreciate the top window that reveals your current sound format (e.g., Dolby Atmos, 5.1 surround).<\/p>\n

There are some missing features, both in the app and the hardware itself. On the app side, I was surprised to find no controls for EQ or individual channel levels. I think that\u2019s by design, and with so much virtualization, I was happy to let Sony software take the wheel for channel balancing. Still, I\u2019d love the ability to tweak the treble or raise the midrange to warm up the sound signature.<\/p>\n
