Surround sound and Home cinema
You can extend your television into a
surround sound television by adding
Bang & Olufsen loudspeakers and up
to two BeoLab 2 subwoofers.
When you switch on one of the
sources, speakers in a surround
sound television can be cut in or out,
depending on what kind of sound
suits the source you are using.
If you connect a projector, you can
turn your television into a Home
cinema. When you switch to the
Home cinema setup, the television
switches the picture from a monitor
to the projector screen and activates
the appropriate speakers.
For further information about how to
connect speakers to the television,
refer to the chapter
‘Set up the
television’
on page 1 in the
Reference book.
You can select the speaker combination that
suits the source you are using, provided that
the various speaker modes are available in
your television.
