AUDIO SIGNAL EMITTED BY YOUR TERMINAL
By adjusting the volume on your TV, you determine the loudness of the sound coming from your speakers. With your
terminal, however, the VOLUME feature adjusts the power of the audio signal coming from your terminal. This
signal then enters your TV or audio system
at the programmed level. This is why it is important to keep the power
of the audio signal coming from your terminal at
maximum level.
SETTING FOR BETTER SOUND QUALITY
There are three main settings.
To access the general settings menu, press SETTINGS twice on your remote control. Once in the GENERAL
SETTINGS menu, follow the instructions below:
A. In the menu on the left, select AUDIO: DIGITAL OUT using the
and arrows. Go to the right and select:
HDMI, if you want to use your HDMI cable as your Audio and Video output
DOLBY DIGITAL, if you prefer to use a digital ouput (other than HDMI)
OTHER, if you choose to use an analog audio output.
Press to confirm your selection.
B. In the menu on the left, select AUDIO: RANGE using the
and arrows. Go to the right and, using the arrows
again, select NARROW. Press to confirm your selection.
C. In the menu on the left, select AUDIO: VOLUME CTRL using the
and arrows. Go to the right and, using the
arrows again, select FIXED. Press to confirm your selection.
Naturally, for impeccable sound quality, your TV or home theatre speakers have to be in good condition. Also, be
sure to use top-quality speaker wires. In addition, if your home theatre has an AC-3 input, we recommend you use it
because the terminal is AC-3 enabled. If you are watching a program in this format, you will get superior quality
sound, provided your equipment has been set accordingly.
