Sony has introduced the HT-S2000 3.1ch Dolby Atmos Soundbar, a DTS:X soundbar with an upscaler to offer a 3D surround experience with a stereo signal. Sony HT-S2000 uses a centre channel in its 3.1 layout to deliver crystal clear dialogue.

Users can set their Sony HT-S2000 up using the Sony | Home Entertainment Connect app. The app will guide you through initial settings and give full control of volume, sound fields and more right from a smartphone. The app can also make recommendations and keep your soundbar updated.
Sony Surround Engine
Sony HT-S2000 uses the company’s Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force Pro Front Surround system to create a cinematic surround sound. The soundbar uses Sony’s proprietary sound engines to deliver compatible Dolby Atmos and DTS:X without extra speakers.
Sony Vertical Surround Engine places audio above the listener while S-Force Pro envelopes to the sides.
And using a newly developed mixer, users can experience three-dimensional surround from stereo content. Users can upscale stereo content from video or music, from the internet or over Bluetooth.
The Sony-developed mixer can also separate different elements of the audio feed. By analysing the audio in real time, the unique tech can isolate voices, sound effects and musical instruments.
