Chapter 6: Using the Menu System
Sound Menu
The Sound menu lets you adjust audio output. To access the Sound menu, press MENU on the remote, and then select Sound from the main menu. The following audio items can be adjusted: Sound settings, Sound type, Sound mode, SAP, Sound Logic, Dynamic bass, Headphone settings, and Graphic equalizer.
Sound settings The Sound settings submenu contains the following items:
Left & Right balance Use the left or right arrow to center the bar under the arrow to balance the left and right speakers.
Sound type Press the right arrow button to scroll through the available audio types, which control the way the sound comes through your speakers. The options available vary according to the input selected.
Mono (available for regular TV viewing only) Plays the sound in mono only. Use this setting when receiving broadcasts with weak stereo signals.
Stereo Splits the incoming stereo audio signal into left and right channels. Most TV programs and recorded materials have stereo audio. The word Stereo appears in the channel banner when you tune to a program that is broadcast in stereo.
Automatic (available for regular TV viewing only) Chooses the sound type according to the current signal.
Left and Right (available for audio/video inputs only) Isolates either the left or right channel of the incoming audio.
Sound Mode Press the right arrow button to scroll through the available audio modes, which provides special processing through your speakers (depending on the setting you chose as your Sound type).
Normal Does not give any special processing, simply provides the mono or stereo sound provided by the signal you're watching.
Wide Available only for mono signals. “Widens” sound from mono broadcasts and mono components connected to your TV/DVD for a fuller, more spacious sound.
Magic Available only for stereo signals. Gives a surround effect with more bass.
Second Audio Program (SAP) Plays the program’s audio in a second language, if one is available. The letters "SAP" appear in the channel banner when you tune to a program that is broadcast with SAP information. SAP audio is broadcast in mono. SAP is also used to broadcast a program’s audio with descriptions of the video for the visually impaired.
Sound logic Reduces the annoying blasts in volume during commercial breaks, and also amplifies softer sounds in program material. Eliminates the need to constantly adjust the volume.
