Sound Projector Technology

838 Series. The TV’s built-in speaker array can be adjusted to reflect sound off the room walls to create a surround sound effect. Setup can be performed either manually or automatically.

•To create the surround sound effect, the room walls must reflect sound and not be covered with sound- absorbent material.

•Repeat the setup procedure if you reconfigure the room’s walls or furnishings.

Before You Begin

Positioning the TV

•Arrangements that give good results:

•If the room is an odd shape, locate the TV to take best advantage of wall reflections.

•Avoid locations that may distort sound reflections.

Connecting the TV

To hear digital surround sound, the TV must be con- nected to a digital surround sound source. The TV can receive digital surround sound from:
