Sound Retrieval System – SRS
(
•
)
Your TV includes a new feature
called SRS
(
•
)
* (Sound Retrieval
System) which brings dimensional
realism to both stereo and mono
broadcasts.
When the SRS ON/OFF function is
set to ON and the STEREO/SAP
function is set to STEREO, your TV
electronically increases the audio
separation of the speakers so you can
perceive a more spacious stereo
sound effect. If a stereo signal is not
present, you can set the SRS
ON/OFF function to its SYNTH
STEREO setting to synthesize and
process the mono signal.
When the SRS ON/OFF function is
set to ON, you can also change the
next menu item called SRS WIDTH
between NORMAL or ENHANCE.
When this function is set to
ENHANCE, the perceived audio
separation will be greater. Try both
settings and select the one you prefer
for your room acoustics.
Note: Some material (audio) will be more
effected than others.
SRS

uses psychoacoustics to
make you believe you’re hearing
multiple sound sources. Electronic
circuitry selectively processes audio
frequencies to establish spatial
information and directional cues so
you perceive sound coming from all
parts of the room. External speakers
are not required, but the addition of
high quality external speakers will
further optimize the sound
performance of your TV.
