Surround Sound Operation (TX-76PW10A only)
Dolby Digital and Pro Logic modes
For Dolby Digital input or Pro Logic selected in Surround mode, the following three modes of operation are available
as the speaker setting: Normal, Phantom, 3 Stereo.
Normal If front and rear speakers are connected, use Normal mode. Centre
speaker information will be produced by the TV’s internal left and right
speakers. With a DTS/ Dolby Digital 5.1 input, the LFE speaker
information is produced by the TV’s internal subwoofer. If the internal
speaker is switched off (see page 17) and an external centre speaker
used, the speaker must be connected using RCA cables, via an
external amplifier (otherwise it will not output any sound). See page 42
for connection details.
Phantom If front left and right speakers are not connected, use Phantom mode.
Left, right, and centre information will now be produced by the TV
speakers. If you choose to use this mode with the internal speaker
switched off and front left and right speakers connected, these must be
connected using RCA cables, via an external amplifier (otherwise they
will not output any sound). See page 42 for connection details.
3 Stereo This is the best mode to use if rear speakers are not connected. When
using this mode, the surround information is redirected to the front left
and right speakers. Centre information is output by the TV’s internal
speakers. If the internal speaker is switched off (see page 17) and an
external centre speaker used, it must be connected to the TV using
RCA cables, via an external amplifier (otherwise it will not output any
sound). See page 38 for connection details.
Simulated Mode
Simulated modes allow various types of surround effects to be produced by mimicking both the direct sound, as
heard by the audience, and the sound reflected back from the surrounding walls, ceiling and floor in places
such as a discos, stadiums etc. There are three different effects to choose from, each reflecting a different
atmosphere:
Setting Appropriate sources Effect
DISCO Disco, dance or jazz music A crowded nightclub
MOVIE All movies or music software recorded without Dolby Simulates a surround sound recording
Surround
STADIUM Any live sports occasion A packed sports stadium
Speaker Level Setup
The speaker output levels from the different options, e.g.: Left, Centre,
Right, Rear right and Rear left, should be adjusted from your usual listening
position, to obtain the best results. The level can be set using either the TV
sound or the test signal provided. Pushing the SURROUND button switches
between the test signal and TV sound.
Notes:
The adjustment menu available will vary according to the mode chosen.
If you have a DTS / Dolby Digital 5.1 input, and are using the internal
subwoofer to produce the LFE information, you can change the LFE volume
by altering the Subwoofer setting in the SOUND menu. (see page 16).
When using external stereo equipment it is advisable to set the speaker levels to the midpoint position.
