Using the TV’s Menu System
Audio Processor
The Audio Processor displays a choice list of available audio modes, which control the way the sound comes through your speakers. The selected setting affects all inputs and antennas.
To create the settings:
1.Press the MENU button to access the main menu.
2.Select Audio, and then Audio Processor. Depending on your speaker setup, any combination of the following options appear:
•Mono plays the sound in monophonic audio only. This should only be used when receiving broadcasts where distance from the broadcasters makes the stereo signal weak. The channel banner displays the word Mono when you tune to a program that is broadcast in mono.
•Stereo Splits the incoming stereo audio signal into left and right front channels. Most TV programs and recorded materials have stereo audio. The channel banner displays the word Stereo when you tune to a program that is broadcast in stereo.
•
Adds greater depth and stereo separation to stereo audio signals. Delivers a panoramic 3D sound stage from stereo material.
•
Redirects the treble portion of the audio in the speaker system to make dialog more understandable. Repositions and elevates the audio to the center of the TV.
•
Creates a virtual 5.1 surround sound from multichannel source material through any two- speaker playback system.
Sound Logic
Monitors a program’s audio track and limits volume excursions to a minimum and maximum volume range from current volume setting. Acting like a dynamic range limiter, it compresses the dynamic range to limit suggested volume increases (for example, the sudden increase in volume you sometimes hear when a commercial starts). Choose Sound Logic On or Sound Logic Off depending on your preference.
Audio Language
The Audio Language menu lets you choose the default audio language you want to hear for ATSC (digital TV) programs. If the Audio Language icon in the banner lights, it means there is more than one audio language available. The system automatically sets the audio program to the selected audio language when the channel you are viewing is a digital terrestrial channel and the specified language is available for that program.
In the Audio Language menu, highlight the audio language you want by pressing the up and down arrow buttons on your remote control. Press OK to activate.
Some programs can have audio languages available that can be heard, but that cannot be set as the default. To select and hear those audio languages, navigate to the “Change Audio” action button and select OK.
