STEREO TV set System OR SRS stands for the Sound Retrieval System. It differs from stereo and other sound expansion techniques because it is based on the human hearing system. Our ears are complex instruments that allow us to hear in three dimensions. Microphones and traditional stereo playback systems only produce flat, two dimensional sound images which are somewhat limited compared to "real live sound." SRS compensates for these limitations by re-establishing the necessary information that allows us to hear in three dimensions. The results are incredible and startlingly close to real-life. SRS is unique because it does not rely on special recording techniques. It works with any audio signal whether it is mono, stereo, surround sound or even encoded with a sound enhancement process. Most importantly SRS does not rely on phase shift or time delay or employ any harmonic distortion to achieve is sensational effect.
