When both the Sleep Timer and Auto Standby function are activated, if the shut-off time set by the Auto Standby function comes earlier than the one set by the Sleep Timer, the Auto Standby function controls shut-off time.

Adjusting the output level of the subwoofer

You can adjust the output level within the range from –10 to 10.

On the remote control:

Press S.WFR +/–.

NOTE

You can also make adjustments using the choice menu shown on the TV screen. (A pg. 48)

You can adjust each enhancement level from the front speakers within the range from –10 to 10.

On the remote control:

Press BASS +/– for bass sound. Press TREBLE +/– for treble sound.

NOTE

You can also make adjustments using the choice menu shown on the TV screen. (A pg. 47)

You can adjust bass/treble enhancement level only for front left/right channel. However, the supplied speakers cannot add the effective

change to the bass sound because of their cutoff frequency even if the bass sound adjustment is made. (A pg. 48)

To change the bass enhancement level more efficiently, adjust the output level of the subwoofer. (A “Adjusting the output level of the subwoofer”)

(When you change the front speakers to the larger ones and select “LARGE” for the front speakers in the SIZE sub-menu (A pg. 48), the effective adjustment of bass sound is also possible by pressing
