AUDIO

Speakers: On

The audio menu will automatically disappear from the screen if you do not press + or - within a few

seconds. Whenever a menu or display disappears from the screen, the + and - buttons on the front of

the TV become the volume adjustment buttons.

Via remote control, your TV will "remember" which function you displayed last-even after the menu has disappeared from the screen. So, if you want to adjust :same function again, simply press the + or - button on

.remote control. The last function you adjusted will reappear on the TV screen.

The TREBLE function adjusts the high frequency audio. Press + to increase treble or press - to decrease treble.

ii The BASS function adjusts the low frequency audio. Press + to increase bass, or press - to decrease bass.

The BALANCE function adjusts the left/right balance of sound from the speakers. When adjusting the BALANCE function, sit in your normal viewing seat while pressing the + and - buttons until the sound seems to originate from a point halfway between the speakers. Press + to increase sound from the right speaker, or press press - to increase sound from the left speaker.

The STEREO/SAP function lets you choose either MONO (monaural), _:iiI_STEREO,i_!:!iil or SAP audio (if available) by pressing + or -. When a station is

broadcasting stereo and the STEREO/SAP function is set to STEREO, the stereo indicator (STEREO) will appear on the screen before the channel number. Normally you can leave the STEREO/SAP function set to

STEREO and your TV will then automatically reproduce either monaural or stereo audio-whichever is broadcast. Some TV stations that broadcast

stereo also broadcast another sound channel called SAP (Second Audio Program) which is sometimes used to offer the program in another language. Your TV lets you know when SAP audio is available by displaying an asterisk (,) on the screen after the stereo indicator like this (STEREO*). If you want to listen to the SAP channel when the asterisk appears, change the STEREO/SAP function to its SAP setting. The SAP setting will only appear in the function when SAP is available. Your TV

will then reproduce the SAP audio until you change channels or return the STEREO/SAP function back to STEREO.

Note: Some TV stations transmit a "pilot" signal that makes your TV think it's receiving stereo, even though the broadcast signal is monaural. The pilot signal will make the stereo indicator (STEREO)appear on the screen next to the channel number, however, you will not be able to hear stereo sound. If this happens, check with the TV station to inquire whether the program being broadcast is in true stereo or monaural audio.

The EXPAND STEREO function lets you add greater depth and dimension to stereo broadcasts. You can turn this function on and off as desired by pressing + or - to change the setting between ON and OFF. You may prefer to leave this function set to ON. Your TV will then automatically separate, process, and expand the stereo signals whenever a stereo broadcast is received (or whenever a stereo tape is played through a stereo VCR that is connected to the TV's audio/video jacks labeled INPUT).

The SPEAKERS function lets you turn off the TV's internal speakers by pressing + or - to change the setting between ON and OFF. You will

_ probably want to leave the TV's speakers turned on unless you connect an amplifier (with its own set of speakers) to the appropriate jacks on the back of the TV as described on page 32.
