Question:

What is SRS TruSurround and how does it work?

Answer:

SRS TruSurround is a format that is licensed from a company called SRS Labs. Essentially, the technology takes an incoming 5.1 or 6.1 source signal and makes it playable over the TV's 2.0 speakers. The SRS TruSurround technology processes or converts the incoming surround signal. During this conversion, TruSurround also adds different audio effects to the signal. After the conversion, the sound is now playable over your TVs 2.0 speakers, one left and one right channel. When playing audio with SRS TruSurround, the technology creates "phantom" speakers that appear to extend all around you, simulating the surround sound without a Home Theatre System.

Note: When you are using SRS TruSurround and your TV is receiving a Mono or Stereo signal, the conversion proccess the same.
