AUDIO MENU
AUDIO SURROUND
Use ADJUST (ADJ) Left_ight to select the speaker audio
output mode. You may choose either STEREO, MONO or
2ND AUDIO/SAP. If current mode selection is not being
received, the status display shows NOT AVAILABLE. If
STEREO is selected but not received, the following line ap-
pears at the bottom of the menu:
THIS PROGRAM IS NOT IN STEREO
If 2ND AUDIO/SAP is selected but not received, the fol-
lowing line appears at the bottom of the menu:
THIS PROGRAM HAS NO 2ND AUDIO
In either of these cases, the Channel/Time display will al-
ways show what type of AUDIO signal is being received
and has been selected default.
If you choose STEREO, you may want to enable Surround
sound by using the SURROUND option.
NOTE: AUDIO mode selection is only available when one
of the ANT/CABLE sources is selected for main picture
viewing.
SEQ (Spatial Equalization)
Use ADJUST (ADJ) Left/Right to turn SEQ ON or OFF.
SEQ improves tonal balance and increases apparent stereo
separation to produce a spacious and more natural sound.
Music and sounds appear to emanate from points outside
the television set, while dialogue is localized within the pic-
ture.
SEQ is only available if a stereo signal is being received and
you have previously selected STEREO using the AUDIO
option or if STEREO is selected by default.
If no stereo signal is being received, the words NOT
AVAILABLE appear next to SEQ, and the following line
appears at the bottom of the menu:
THIS PROGRAM IS NOT IN STEREO
If your AUDIO selection is either MONO or 2ND
AUDIO/SAP, the words NOT AVAILABLE appear next
to SEQ and one of the following lines appear at the bottom
of the menu:
MONO HAS BEEN SELECTED
2ND AUDIO HAS BEEN SELECTED
Some weak or nonstandard signals may not be suitable for
SEQ, which may make imperfections in the audio transmis-
sion more obvious. Turn SEQ off if this condition exists.
NOTE: If SEQ is available, you can turn SEQ ON or OFF
directly by pressing SEQ on the remote control.
Use ADJUST (ADJ) Left/Right to adjust the level of Sur-
round sound you wish to obtain. To decrease (-) Surround
sound, press ADJUST (ADJ) Left. To increase (+) Sur-
round sound, press ADJUST (ADJ) Right.
SURROUND sound is only available if a stereo signal is
being received and you have previously selected STEREO
using the AUDIO option or if STEREO is selected by
default.
When SURROUND is activated, "SURROUND
SPEAKERS REQUIRED" appears at the bottom of the
menu. This is a reminder that surround sound is only avail-
able when you have optional surround speakers connected
to the SURROUND SPEAKER jack. The TV's internal
speakers do not produce surround sound.
If no stereo signal is being received, the words NOT
AVAILABLE appear next to SURROUND, and the fol-
lowing line appears at the bottom of the menu:
THIS PROGRAM IS NOT IN STEREO
If your AUDIO selection is either MONO or 2ND
AUDIO/SAP, the words NOT AVAILABLE appear next
to SURROUND and one of the following lines appear at
the bottom of the menu:
NOTES:
MONO HAS BEEN SELECTED
2ND AUDIO HAS BEEN SELECTED

ROUND option to OFF for optimum stereo sound
reproduction.

round speakers are muted.
