The integrated control bus allows system control between the TV set and connected devices like a digital set top box. DVS (Dolby Virtual Speaker) technology creates a highly compelling 5.1-channel listening experience from as few as two speakers, making it an ideal entertainment solution for locations where space for multiple speaker setup is limited.
