What’s on the first Sound menu…

Balance

The loudspeaker balance for the built-in, internal speakers can be adjusted by max. 8 steps to the left or right.

Volume

Volume can be adjusted with a range of 00 to 80, pressing the ▲ or ▼ buttons raise or lower the level by 2 steps.

Note: Volume can be adjusted at all times without calling up this Sound menu.

Speaker

Speaker only appears on the menu if you have connected a pair of Bang & Olufsen Power Link speakers to your MX TV and registered them in the Sockets menu, (see Registering extra equipment, pages 34-35 for further information). If this is the case, choose 1 for internal, built-in speakers only, choose 2 for external speakers only, and choose 3 for all speakers.

Note: As soon as you call up the first sound menu, you can key in 1, 2 or 3 directly to switch speakers without moving to Speakers in the menu.

Centre

The Centre Balance function is a special Bang & Olufsen feature for TVs fitted with external speakers. The Centre balance function is only available if you have connected external Power Link speakers to your MX TV.

The purpose of this adjustment is to ensure that the stereo sound can be given the enhanced effect which the external speakers are able to produce, and that mono sound, for example the voice of a person appearing on the TV screen, can be made to seem to originate from the screen itself.

The balance between the sound of external speakers and the built-in centre speakers can be adjusted within a range of 00 to 80.

Adjust the balance between all your speakers, adjust until the total sound image is balanced, that is, no one speaker seems to be dominating. If you store this adjustment, this will now be a part of your Basic setup.

What’s on the second Sound menu… Bass and Treble

The Bass and Treble levels can be adjusted by 4 steps above or below the neutral level 0.

Loudness

Loudness can be set to On or Off, it compensates for the human ear’s diminished sensitivity to high and low bass and treble levels when listening to low volume levels.

If you press ss or tt instead, you adjust the balance between the speakers, the display will read Balance with an indication of whether it has been adjusted to the left or right.

If you press ▲ or ▼, you adjust the centre balance between the external and built-in speakers, the display will read Centre and indicate the adjustment.
