Mitsubishi Immersive Sound

Mitsubishi's 840 Series 3D DLP Home Cinema TVs with Immersive Sound Technology (IST) deliver world-class video imagery with fully immersive, built-in surround sound audio-easily and instantly-right out of the box. Truly "One-Button Home Theater!" Conceived and built with Mitsubishi expertise and precision, this revolutionary television features 16 intelligent speakers that direct perfectly balanced audio waves beside and behind you to reproduce 5.1 surround sound and create an unprecedented depth of sound experience.

About Immersive Sound

The secret behind this impressive package is Mitsubishi's innovative Immersive Sound Technology (IST). The IST eliminates the need for separate audio components to provide a clutter-free home theater system. In environments where running wires and placing speakers are not easily accommodated, the IST provides a 16-speaker surround sound experience that cannot be matched.

The IST reproduces Dolby® Digital 5.1 channel surround sound from a single speaker cabinet positioned below the TV screen. The IST enclosure houses a 16-speaker array that creates a 5.1 channel sound field. Through the use of an advanced algorithm, the IST delays the sound at varying intervals to each of the 16 speakers. As a result, the speaker array generates 5.1 distinct sound beams that are focused directly and indirectly to the listener. The subwoofer or LFE channel is also available as an output of the TV for easy connection to an external powered subwoofer.

Immersive Sound Technology utilizes walls or other surfaces to reflect the left, right and surround sound beams to you. The effect of this sound beam reflection is that the side and back walls of the room become virtual speakers for the complete surround sound reproduction.

Easy To Set Up

One of the key features of the IST is its simple graphical user interface. Out-of-the-box, the IST is set up to deliver optimal sound in a typical room setting. In a matter of minutes, the user can easily enter specific room dimensions as well as the location of main listening area. The IST calculates the beam angles to provide the best sound for your room environment. If you would like to further fine-tune your surround sound, the IST provides you the ability to position each channel via a test tone and an easy to use graphical user interface. Through the simple on-screen display, you can adjust the location and sound level for each of the five surround channels. The output level for the sub is also directly controllable from the remote control.

Easy To Use

Operation is even simpler. Just select stereo mode to hear all programs in stereo sound or select surround mode to hear all programs in surround or virtual surround sound.

Simplicity and superb performance make the Mitsubishi TVs with Immersive Sound one-of-a-kind. No other television provides a total home theater package. Not only does IST provide high performance picture and sound, but it does so in a simple to set up and easy to use fashion. For those consumers who want to simplify their life, only IST offers a clutter-free, total home theater solution that requires no additional speakers, no wires and a single remote control.
