① HEARING AID Mode:①

Press the Hearing AID button on the remote control to boost the volume of higher frequencies providing better sound quality for some listeners. Hearing AID mode produces improved clarity and intelligibility so the elderly and hearing-impaired may be able to enjoy clear sound, sometimes without hearing aids.

②3D Sound / Surround Sound Modes:

Press the 3D/SURR button and the 3D/SURR LED glows BLUE for 3D Sound mode - a natural 3-dimensional sound. Press 3D/SURR again and the 3D/SURR LED turns GREEN in Surround Sound mode - a sound image which, depending on content, can make program dialog easier to hear. Press 3D/SURR again to turn the LED and all surround effects off.

③AUTO VOLUME Mode:

AUTO-VOLUME reduces the sudden loud audio (from commercials, movie special effects) while simultaneously raising the level of whispers for easier listening. This mode helps avoid bothering others late at night. It is controlled by the NITE mode button (see table below).

④AUTO BASS Mode:

AUTO-BASS enhances low frequencies at low volume settings. The effect of AUTO-BASS is reduced as the Sound Bar’s volume is increased. AUTO-BASS is always on as shown by it’s blue LED unless disabled by the remote control’s NITE mode button (see table below).
