Adjusting the sound
>Important
You can customize all of your TV_s sound functions with a set of
buttons; you select a function with the AUDIO buLton, then you
adjust the function with the ADJUST buttons or left/right buttons.
You use the ADJUST buttons to:
• select a position (e.g., stereo),
• increase or decrease the function (e.g., bass), or
• shift from one end of a scale to the other (e.g., balance).
After adjusting the sound, an on-screen display will indicate the
function and level you've selected.
what you will adjust:
"Listen to: Stereo/SAP/Mono" allows you to chan_:e the audio
reception mode to stereo, separate audio programming (S.A.P.), or
monaural (mono), depending on the type of broadcast you are
receiving. As you change this setting, remember l_he following:
• The "Stereo" setting allows you to receive both mono and stereo
broadcasts.
• The separate audio programming ("S.A.P.") setting offers you
the option of listening to a separate audio pro_am. For
example, a station may broadcast news, weat_._er, or a foreign
language soundtrack on the S.A.P. program.
• The "Mono" setting reduces unwanted background noise when
the TV is receiving a weak stereo broadcast signal. When you
use the "Mono" setting, you will hear the bro_.dcast in monaural
even when the broadcast signal is in stereo.
An on-screen display appears when programs are broadcast in
stereo or when separate audio programming (S.A.P.) is available.
"Bass" controls the volume of low frequency sour d.
"Treble" controls the volume of high frequency sound.
"Balance" adjusts the level of sound between the left and right
speakers.
"Surround: Off/Simulate/Hall" allows you to simulate or expand
stereo sound.
• "Off' does not change the sound.
• "Simulate" gives you a pseudo-stereo effect when receiving
monaural sound broadcasts.
• "Hall" makes stereo sound seem wider and extend around
behind you.
