Changing the speakers’ sound level

You can change the speakers’ sound distribution to suit
your surround sound needs. For example, if you are close
to the left front speaker than the right front speaker, the left
front speaker might seem “louder” than the right one.  To
adjust it, you must change the channel level for one or both
speakers until the sound evens out.

progressive scan mode

The progressive-scan display presents 60 complete frames
per second, rather than the 30 frames per second of
interlaced scanning (ordinary normal TV system.)  With
nearly double the numbers of line, progressive scan offers
higher picture resolution and eliminates bothersome
motion artifacts those jagged edges on moving objects.

To enjoy the full quality potential offered by
progressive scan feature, a progressive scan TV is
required.
