Sony football mode turns the living room into a stadium
Football mode on Sony's TV sets brings the stadium feeling home:
- If you activate the football mode by remote control ("Football" button), the stadium atmosphere will be louder and the commentary on the game will be a little quieter.
- The comment can also be switched off completely, so that you can enjoy the pure stadium atmosphere from Brazil at home.
- Sony also promises a 3D sound based on recordings from real stadiums in Brazil. This way, the stereo signal is optimized when the commentator is deactivated and you feel like you are in the front row (at least that's how Sony describes the football sound).
The world as a guest on TV: social networking with football mode
- Football shows alone are a thing of the past with Sony devices: at the push of a button, you can switch on the social media components Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus and the latest tweets and comments are displayed in real time at the bottom of the screen. On request, only in German.
- Even if no one is cheering on the couch next to you, you don't have to cheer the players alone. With Skype you can get several friends to join in, discuss them together and celebrate the victory.
Boring half time? Not with the Sony soccer mode
- If you have had enough of the game analyzes at half time, Sony offers you a huge pool of old video clips from previous World Championships in the Portal One stadium.
- The clips from 11 World Cup games are also available on the computer and smartphone.
