Preferred Language

(digital channels only)

Digital-TV broadcasts are capable of simultaneous transmission of many audio tracks (for example, simultaneous translations of the program into foreign languages).

✎✎ You can only select a language from among the ones being broadcasted.

Multi-Track Sound (MTS)

(analog channels only)

■■Mono: Choose for channels that are broadcasting in mono or if you are having difficulty receiving a stereo signal.

■■Stereo: Choose for channels that are broadcasting in stereo.

■■SAP: Choose to listen to the Separate Audio Program, which is usually a foreign-language translation.

✎✎ Depending on the program being broadcast, you can listen to Mono, Stereo or SAP.

Auto Volume

Because each broadcasting station has its own signal conditions, the volume may fluctuate each time channel is changed. This feature lets you automatically adjust the volume of the desired channel by lowering the sound output when the modulation signal is high or by raising the sound output when the modulation signal is low.

SPDIF Output

The SPDIF (Sony Philips Digital InterFace) outputs an uncompressed digital audio signal when you connect the digital audio jack on the back of the TV to a digital audio in jack on a receiver or home theater.

■■Audio Format: You can select the Digital Audio output (SPDIF) format. The available Digital Audio output (SPDIF) format may differ depending on the input source.

✎✎ By connecting the TV to a receiver or home theater with Dolby Digital and 5.1ch speakers and selecting Dolby Digital, you can maximize your interactive 3D sound experience.

■■Audio Delay: Lets you correct timing mismatches between the audio track and the video when you are watching the TV and listening to digital audio output from the TV through an external device such as an AV receiver. When you select Audio Delay, a slider appears. Use the left and right arrow buttons to adjust the slider. Press ENTERE when done (0ms ~ 250ms).

Speaker Select

■■Speaker Select (External Speaker / TV Speaker): If you are listening to the sound track of a broadcast or movie through an external receiver, you may hear a sound echo caused by the difference in decoding speed between the TV’s speakers and the speakers attached to your audio receiver. If this occurs, set the TV to External Speaker.

✎✎ When you set Speaker Select to External Speaker, the TV’s speakers are turned off. You will hear sound through the external speakers only. When you set Speaker Select to TV Speaker both the TV’s speakers and the external speakers are on. You will hear sound through both.

✎✎ When Speaker Select is set to External Speaker, the VOLUME and MUTE buttons will not operate and the sound settings will be limited.

✎✎ If there is no video signal, both the TV’s speakers and the external speakers will be mute.

Sound Reset

■■Reset All: Resets all sound settings to the factory defaults.
