Sony Bravia 6: Dolby Atmos/DTS:X audio and pairing with Bravia Theatre bars
On the audio front, Bravia 6 televisions abandon Acoustic Surface Audio+ in favor of a [abc]bass-reflex[/abc] [abc]2.0[/abc] stereo system with an output of 20 watts. It nevertheless supports 3D audio decoding [abc]Dolby Atmos[/abc] and [abc]DTS:X[/abc] and manages simultaneous audio output, for example to use it on a Bluetooth headset. The device was specifically designed to work in tandem with the manufacturer’s new sound bars, notably the Bravia Theatre Bar 7 and Bravia Theatre Bar 9 (the latter being particularly recommended for the large 77" and 83" sizes). Its tabletop stand also offers two mounting positions: a standard position flush with the furniture and a raised position allowing a soundbar to be slid directly under the panel without obstructing the display.
Sony Bravia 6: Gemini-powered Google TV and Sony Pictures Core offer
The connected interface is based on Google TV, enhanced by the integration of the Gemini artificial intelligence assistant (deployed via an OTA software update). A built-in hands-free microphone in the chassis allows the TV to be controlled and contextual voice searches to be launched. The [abc]Chromecast (integrated)[/abc] wireless streaming function is also included. The integrated movie offering highlights the very high-quality streaming service Sony Pictures Core, offered here in a 12/5 package (12 months of unlimited streaming catalog subscription and 5 credits for recent films included).
Sony Bravia 6 gaming equipment: 4 HDMI 2.1 inputs (4K/120, VRR, ALLM)
For video games, Bravia 6 TVs are particularly well equipped: they offer four [abc]HDMI[/abc] 2.1 inputs, all compatible with Ultra HD 4K signals at 120 Hz, variable refresh rate ([abc]VRR[/abc]) and automatic low latency mode ([abc]ALLM[/abc]). Although the Voice Zoom 3 function and the Ideal for PS5 marketing label are reserved for higher-end models, they provide a particularly smooth and responsive display for current consoles.
