A lot of them have their own versions of surround sound effects.
It's normally an option that can be turned on and off.
A lot of them just add an echo to everything.
The Harman Kardon's "3d" sound is interesting. It can trick your ears into thinking the sound is coming from behind them, or off to the side.
It's a neat feature.
But, the sound bar sounds great without the effect on.
