•“Of f”: ther e will be no change in the sound.
•“ Wide”: when the audio signal is ster eo this option creates an
illusion of greater distance between the speakers. If the audio
signal is mono instead, the option creates a “pseudo-ster eo”
effect.
•“Panorama” : this option processes sound coming fr om the tele-
vision speakers creating the illusion that the sound is also
coming from behind you.
•“Multichannel” : if you have connected additional external spea-
kers to the [R] connectors of your television, with this option you
will be able to divide the sound for each speaker .
Once this option has been selected, you will be able to adjust
the characteristics of the sound inside the Advanced Adj. sub-
menu utilising the items “FR-FL V olume”, “FR-FL Balance”, “C-
R Volume” and “C-R Balance” (see further on under Advanced
Adj.).
- “Loudness” : when Loudness is switched on, the bass frequencies
are amplified pr ogressively mor e as volume is decreased.
Reducing volume has a greater ef fect on bass sounds. Loudness
compensates for this to deliver a more balanced sound.
- “Advanced Adj.” : by selecting this option you access a sub-menu
whose functions are described in the next paragraph 4.7.4.
-“Selection ”: Use this function to select one of the equalizer pr e-
sets configured using the Soundmenu. Once you have made all
the necessary settings (as instructed above), use the “Preset”
function to select one of the three equalizer pr esets defined by
“Speakers ”, “Music ” and “Concert ”. When you receive your tele-
vision from the factory , all three equalizer pr esets are set with ave-
rage values for all frequencies. ( NOTE: After you have changed the
settings the only way to restor e the original settings is to do so
manually.)
The other two options in this sub-menu are “Hi-Fi”, “Hi-Fi fixed”
and “Noise T est”.
•“ Hi-Fi”: Select this preset when you want to use the Cinch Audio
outputs [M e N] on the rear of the television to connect to an
external amplifier . The television’s own speakers ar e automati-
cally muted if you select this option. Select “Hi-Fi” rather than
“Hi-Fi Fixed” if the external amplifier is a fixed type with no tone
adjustments. This “Hi-Fi” preset allows you to use the Sound
menu to make all the necessary tone adjustments.
•“ Hi-Fi Fixed”: This preset wo rks in a similar w ay to “Hi-Fi”b ut is
designed for use with e xternal amplifiers that ha ve their own v olu-
me, balance and tone controls .With this preset selected, the
audio signal from the television will be constant (flat) so that sound
adjustments can be made on the exter nal amplifier.
•“ Noise T est” : This option is available and selectable only when
you have selected the “Multichannel” option in the Audio menu
under item “Sound Eff.”. In this case, you will hear a continuous
noise coming from the television (“pink noise”), giving you a pr e-
cise sound refer ence for when you make a minute setting of the
