ADJUSTING TV CONTROLS
Optical Output Select Auto Select if your TV is connected to a Dolby Digital and PCM decoder. Select Dolby Digital if the TV is connected to a Dolby Digital only decoder; it will provide six independent soundtrack channels through the optical output jack (labeled DIGITAL AUDIO OUT). Select PCM if it is connected to a PCM only decoder; it will then provide two independent soundtrack channels. Select Off if you want no audio output provided.
Sound Logic Monitors a program’s audio track and limits volume excursions to a minimum and maximum volume range from the current volume setting. Acting like a dynamic range limiter, it compresses the dynamic range to limit sudden volume increases, like when a commercial begins.
Dynamic Bass Brings the bass level up to its maximum point. The maximum point is determined by the current volume level.
Wireless Audio Allows you to choose between three possible variable audio outputs for a separate set of wireless speakers, stereo amplifier, wireless headphones, or whatever component you have connected to the TRANSMITTER OUT jack on the back panel. You can choose from the following output selections:
• | Front Speakers | Tells the TV that you’ve set up your wireless speakers in the |
| front of the room. Your system will then play the “front speaker” audio stream | |
| through the wireless speakers. | |
• | Rear Speakers | Tells the TV that you’ve set up your wireless speakers in the |
| rear of the room. Your system will then play the “rear speaker” audio stream | |
| through the wireless speakers. | |
• | PIP Audio If you choose PIP | |
| transmitter (e.g. speakers or headphones) will play the PIP audio program. If no | |
| PIP is displayed, the wireless transmitter will play the main channel audio | |
| program. |

LOUDNESS
When turned on, loudness allows the setting of the volume control to also control the output frequency response. High and low frequencies are boosted at lower volume levels.
SAP
When turned on, Second Audio Program (SAP) plays the program’s audio in a second language, if one is available. SAP is also used to broadcast a program’s audio with descriptions of the video for the visually impaired. SAP is broadcast in mono and is not available for digital programs.
AUDIO LANGUAGE
The Audio Language menu lets you choose the default audio language you want to hear when it is available. The system will automatically set the audio program to the selected audio language when the channel you are viewing is either a DIRECTV or a digital channel and the specified language is available. Highlight the audio language you want using the up and down arrows, then press OK to select.
When the TV is connected to an optional, compatible six- channel amplifier/ receiver and speakers via the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack on the back panel, you receive Dolby Digital Surround Sound, if transmitted. Use the Optical Output menu to specify Auto Select, PCM, Dolby Digital, or Off.
You will find an audio language icon in the channel banner. When this icon is highlighted, it indicates that a Second Audio Program (SAP) is available for analog programs. If you select it when highlighted, you will activate the SAP for the current channel (all other channels remain unaffected). If the icon is highlighted when watching a digital channel or a DIRECTV channel, more than one audio language is available. If you select the icon, you will hear the language and the name will appear in the channel banner.
