Audio Language: 

Some digital TV broadcasts provide audio soundtracks in multiple 

languages. If you are watching such a program, select Audio Language from the Audio 
menu to choose a soundtrack language: English, Français, Español or Português. 

Digital Audio Out: 

The Crystal Series LCD can output either two or six channels of digital 

audio. Select 

Dolby Digital

 if your A/V receiver can decode a Dolby Digital-encoded, 

5.1-channel bitstream. Otherwise, select 

PCM

 to have the Crystal Series LCD output 

PCM-encoded, stereo audio.

TV 

S

peaker: 

To disable the speakers, select TV Speaker from the Audio menu, set it to 

Off and press 

ENTER

. The effect is similar to using the 

MUTE

 button, except that the 

Crystal Series LCD “remembers” this setting if you turn off the display, then turn it back 
on. 

Audio Delay: 

Use the Audio Delay control to correct audio/video synchronization issues 

with DTV broadcasts. Select from 0 to 40 milliseconds of delay, as needed. 

Channel 

To set up the Crystal Series LCD channel tuner, select TV as the source. Then, select 
Channel from the Main Menu and press 

ENTER

Auto Tuning: 

To have the Crystal Series LCD automatically detect available TV or CATV 

channels, select Auto Tuning and press 

ENTER

. Then, select STD and press 

ENTER 

again. 

The Crystal Series LCD searches all channel frequencies and adds a channel to its 
memory when it detects a signal on that channel frequency. (This may take a few 
minutes.) If Auto Tuning fails to detect any CATV channels, select HRC or IRC and try 
again. (STD, HRC and IRC refer to different sets of frequencies used by cable television 
providers. IRC stands for “Incrementally Related Carrier;” HRC stands for “Harmonically 
Related Carrier.”) 

Add/Era

s

e: 

If Auto Tuning fails to detect a channel, select Add/Erase from the Channel 

menu and press 

 or 

 to select it. Then, select Add to add it to the channel list. To 

erase the currently-selected channel from the available channel list, select Add/Erase from 
the Channel menu, then select Erase. 

Favorite Channel: 

You can specify up to five channels as “favorite” channels that can be 

accessed by pressing a single button on the remote, instead of manually entering the channel 
number. To do this, select Favorite Channel from the Channel menu and press 

ENTER

Use the up- or down-arrow button to select the memory location in which you want to 
store the favorite channel. Then, use the left- or right-arrow button to specify the channel 
number. 

To erase a favorite channel selection, press 

ENTER

Press 

EXIT

 when you have finished programming favorite channels. 

To recall a favorite channel, press the 

FAV CHAN

 button repeatedly on the remote 

control.

When Surround is set to On, the graphic equalizer is disabled.
