Roland’s unique three-dimensional acoustic technology lets you listen in virtual surround sound to the 5.1/7.1 audio input from the HDMI IN 1 or 2 connectors when using headphones.

This lets you experience a spacious stereo image that goes beyond the base-level stereo image, even with headphones.

This function also works with a two-channel (stereo) source.
