Sound settings The Sound settings submenu contains the following items:
Left & Right balance Use the left or right arrow to center the bar under the
arrow to balance the left and right speakers.
Sound type Press the right arrow button to scroll through the available audio
types, which control the way the sound comes through your speakers. The
options available vary according to the input selected.
Mono (available for regular TV viewing only) Plays the sound in mono
only. Use this setting when receiving broadcasts with weak stereo signals.
Stereo Splits the incoming stereo audio signal into left and right channels.
Most TV programs and recorded materials have stereo audio. The word
Stereo appears in the channel banner when you tune to a program that is
broadcast in stereo.
Automatic (available for regular TV viewing only) Chooses the sound type
according to the current signal.
Left and Right (available for audio/video inputs only) Isolates either the
left or right channel of the incoming audio.
Sound Mode Press the right arrow button to scroll through the available audio
modes, which provides special processing through your speakers (depending on
the setting you chose as your Sound type).
Normal Does not give any special processing, simply provides the mono
or stereo sound provided by the signal you're watching.
Wide Available only for mono signals. “Widens” sound from mono
broadcasts and mono components connected to your TV/DVD for a fuller,
more spacious sound.
Magic Available only for stereo signals. Gives a surround effect with more
bass.
Second Audio Program (SAP) Plays the program’s audio in a second
language, if one is available. The letters "SAP" appear in the channel banner
when you tune to a program that is broadcast with SAP information. SAP audio
is broadcast in mono. SAP is also used to broadcast a program’s audio with
descriptions of the video for the visually impaired.
Sound logic Reduces the annoying blasts in volume during commercial
breaks, and also amplies softer sounds in program material. Eliminates the
need to constantly adjust the volume.
Dynamic bass Enhances your TV's low-frequency response. The options are
Off, Medium and High.
