<p>A sound beam-forming system uses internal device speakers in conjunction with external speakers to provide a low cost alternative to present external surround array systems. A processing circuit within an audio device or audio/visual (AV) device such as a digital television (DTV) generates signals for internal and external speakers that phase-align the internal speakers with the external speakers for beam-forming. The beam may be a surround beam directed away from a listening position so that surround channel information is only heard as reflections. Alternatively, the beam may be a "night mode" beam that concentrates sound at a particular location or multiple beams may be formed for picture-in-picture or other applications where it is desirable to provide multiple isolated listening locations.</p> |
