DTS / Dolby Digital and Pro Logic modes

With a DTS / Dolby Digital input or if Pro Logic is selected in Surround mode, the following three modes of operation are available as the Speaker setting: Normal, Phantom, 3 Stereo.

Normal

Phantom

3 Stereo

If front and rear speakers are connected, use Normal mode. Centre speaker information will be produced by the TV’s internal left and right speakers. With a DTS / Dolby Digital 5.1 input, the subwoofer/LFE speaker information is produced by the TV’s internal subwoofer. If the internal speaker is switched off (see page 25) and an external centre speaker used, the speaker must be connected using RCA cables, via an external amplifier (otherwise it will not output any sound). See page 30 for connection details.

If external front left and right speakers are not connected, use Phantom mode. Left, right, and centre information will now be produced by the TV speakers. If you choose to use this mode with the internal speaker switched off and front left and right speakers connected, these must be connected using RCA cables, via an external amplifier (otherwise they will not output any sound). See page 30 for connection details

This is the best mode to use if rear speakers are not connected. When using this mode, the rear left and right surround information is redirected to the front left and right speakers. Centre information is output by the TV’s internal speakers. If the internal speaker is switched off (see page 25) and an external centre speaker used, it must be connected to the TV using RCA cables, via an external amplifier (otherwise it will not output any sound). See page 30 for connection details.

Simulated surround modes allow various types of surround effects to be produced by mimicking both the direct sound, as heard by the audience, and the sound reflected back from the surrounding walls e.g. ceiling and floor space in a space such as a disco. There are three different effects to choose from, each reflecting a different atmosphere:

Speaker level setup

The speaker output levels from the different options, eg: Left, Centre, Right, Rear left and Rear right, should be adjusted from your usual listening position, to obtain the best results. The level can be set using either the TV sound or the provided test signal.

Notes:

DThe adjustments available will vary according to the mode chosen.

DIf you have a DTS / Dolby Digital 5.1 input, and are using the internal subwoofer to produce the subwoofer/LFE information, you can change the subwoofer/LFE volume by altering the Subwoofer setting in the SOUND menu. See page 9.

D When using external stereo equipment, it is advisable to set the speaker levels to the midpoint position.
