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.
The speaker output levels from the different options, eg: Left, Centre, Right, Rear
right and Rear left, 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 LFE information, you can change the LFE volume by altering the
Subwoofer setting in the SOUND menu. (see page 22)
• When using external stereo equipment, it is advisable to set the speaker levels
to the midpoint position.
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 LFE speaker information is produced by the TV's
internal subwoofer. If the internal speaker is switched off (see
page 33) 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 12 for
connection details.
If 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 12 for connection details.
This is the best mode to use if rear speakers are not connected.
When using this mode, the 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 33) 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 12
for connection details.

Surround Sound
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:
Appropriate sources
Disco, dance or jazz music
All movies or music software recorded without Dolby Surround
Any live sports occasion
