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
.
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:
Setting
Appropriate sources

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:

The adjustments available will vary according to the mode chosen.

If 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.

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