Optical Output
Select
Auto Select
if your TV is connected to a Dolby Digital and PCM
decoder. Select
Dolby Digital
if the TV is connected to a Dolby Digital only decoder; it will
provide six independent soundtrack channels through the optical output jack (labeled
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT). Select
PCM
if connected to a PCM only decoder; it will then provide
two independent soundtrack channels. Select
Off
if you want no audio output provided.
Sound Logic
Monitors a program’s audio track and limits volume excursions to a
minimum and maximum volume range from the current volume setting. Acting like a
dynamic range limiter, it compresses the dynamic range to limit sudden volume increases,
like when a commercial begins.
Dynamic Bass
Brings the bass level up to its maximum point. The maximum point is
determined by the current volume level.
Wireless Audio
Allows you to choose between three possible variable audio outputs for
a separate set of wireless speakers, stereo amplifier, wireless headphones, or whatever
component you have connected to the TRANSMITTER OUT jack on the back panel. You can
choose from the following output selections:
•
Front Speakers
Tells the TV that you’ve set up your wireless speakers in the front of
the room. Your system will then play the “front speaker” audio stream through the
wireless speakers. A variable-level audio signal is provided.
•
Rear Speakers
Tells the TV that you’ve set up your wireless speakers in the rear of the
room. Your system will then play the “rear speaker” audio stream through the wireless
speakers. A variable-level audio signal is provided.
•
PIP Audio
If you choose PIP (picture-in-picture) Audio, your wireless transmitter (e.g.
speakers or headphones) plays the PIP audio program. If no PIP is displayed, the
wireless transmitter plays the main channel audio program. A fixed-level audio signal is
provided.
When the TV is
connected to an
optional, compatible six-
channel amplifier/
receiver and speakers via
the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
jack on the back panel,
you receive Dolby Digital
Surround Sound, if
transmitted. Use the
Optical Output menu to
specify Auto Select, PCM,
Dolby Digital, or Off.
