Operating additional equipment

Sound components wizard

The sound components wizard helps you to configure the components used to play the TV sound.

Depending on what you want to use, active speakers, speaker systems and analogue and digital HiFi/AV amplifiers can be configured.

The sound components wizard is set to TV speakers at the factory.

Integrated Dolby Digital Decoder

Your TV set is equipped with an integrated Dolby Digital Decoder. This system has also been introduced to the DVD video range and digital TV stations can also broadcast in digital multi-channel sound.

For playback of 5 audio channels the surround sound is reinforced by the deepest frequencies from the subwoofer channel (SUB), (5.1 reproduction

=5 audio channels and 1 subwoofer). All 5 audio channels are reproduced with the full frequency range from 20- 20,000 hertz and generate the original theatre effect.

The Dolby Digital Decoder also decodes dts, MPEG and the analogue Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Pro Logic II signals, regardless of whether the audio signal is transmitted by an external device or received by the TV set.

DVDs or CDs with PCM coded audio format are also decoded by the Dolby Digital Decoder. The CD/DVD player must be connected via a coaxial, digital connection to the digital input AUDIO DIGITAL IN for this (see page 45).

The audio signals decoded by the Dolby Digital Decoder are output via the AUDIO LINK interface. You can connect a speaker system such as the Loewe "Individual Sound" (see page 40) or active speakers (see page

41)to the AUDIO LINK interface and configure these with the sound components wizard.

Settings for speaker systems and active speakers which are connected via the AUDIO LINK interface to the Dolby Digital Decoder of the TV set:

Register speaker (system) or active speaker.

Setting of the lower limit frequency of the speakers.

Setting of the distances between listener and speakers.

Level settings for the speakers.

Setting of the phase position for the subwoofer channel.

All data and selection possibilities which refer to the TV speakers in the course of the sound components wizard are only relevant when TV speakers are connected.

TV speakers

No TV speakers are included in the scope of delivery for the "Individual Compose" TV set. Two speakers (min 4 ohm / min. 20 W sinus) can be connected via the speaker connections (screw terminals) of the TV set.

The Loewe "Stereospeaker I Compose" available as an accessory are ideal for this. These can be fixed directly to the TV set or separately to the wall. When fixing the speakers directly to the TV set, the side speaker connections (exclusively for "Stereospeaker I Compose") behind the trim are used. In the case of separate wall assembly, the speakers are con- nected to the screw terminals. See installation instructions "Stereospeaker I Compose".

Speakers must never be connected simultaneously to the side connections and to the screw terminals.

Connecting speakers to the screw terminals

To connect the speakers, switch the TV set off at the mains switch and pull out the mains plug.

You have connected and laid out the connecting cables to the speakers.

Remove the rubber band fixed as a transport protection (see figure). Turn the 4 screw terminals anti-clockwise about 2 or 3 turns. This frees the connection openings for the connecting cables of the speakers.

Do not loosen the screw terminals more than necessary. They could fall down and get lost.

Make sure no bare cable ends can get inside the device when con- necting. Avoid short-circuits between the individual screw terminals and between the screw terminal and the support plate.

Push the connecting cables (max. 1.5mm2) of the speakers under the respective same coloured screw terminal (red to red, black to black). See also the printed connection designations of the speakers right (Right) and left (Left) and the characters "+" equal red and "–" equal black (see figure).

Make sure that the sheaths of the connecting cables are not clamped accidentally as well.

Tighten the screw terminals clockwise.
