Sound via Playback over the TV speakers or an external hi-fi
amplifier.
The menu item Sound via only appears if HiFi/
AV amplifier or TV speakers (switchable) is set
in the audio components wizard (see Kapitel Sys-
tem settings, section Connections – Sound
components).

Speech, Classical, Pop, Custom music and Film
soundtracks. For personal music and film sound you
can do the settings for pitch and bass sound (high
and low frequencies).
Audio Set the volume of the audio commentary to be
commentary relative to the volume of the programme being
volume transmitted.
Should negative values result (those in the area of
-50... -1), the audio commentary is quieter than the
programme sound. Should positive values result
(those in the area of +1... +50), the audio commen-
tary is louder than the programme sound. If the
value 0 results, then the audio commentary is at the
exactly the same volume as the programme sound.
The menu item only appears if audio commentary
is activated (see chapter System settings, sec-
tion Control – DVB settings) and is offered by
the current station.
Additionally, the Loudspeaker sound or Head-
phone sound must be set to normal + audio
commentary must be switched on (see next page).
Loudness Proper boost of bass and treble tones at low volume.

Possible sound formats depend on the number of channels
available in the received audio signal. If more audio
channels are supplied than the number of speakers available
then you can create a pseudo mode by selecting the speaker
number which is contained within brackets. If you select
"optimal" then the number of speaker used will automatically,
if possible, match the number of audio channels received, this
normally gives the best sound quality. If a sub woofer is
connected it is always active unless you select mono mode i.e
a single speaker.
5 = playback of front, surround and centre sound

Headphone Selection options for Mono/ Stereo or Sound 1 or
sound Sound 2 for bilingual programmes, separately for
the loudspeakers and the headphones.

You can choose here if you wish to listen to a special
soundtrack for the visually impaired over the speak-

describe the action taking place on-screen.

tary is offered by the current channel.
Auto volume The volume may vary when receiving stations with
different standards, when switching from station to
station or during commercials.
You can reduce these differences in volume by
selecting auto volume on. For music and live broad-
casts you get a better sound spectrum with auto
volume off.

output signal AV socket for dual sound programmes: Sound 1 (e.g.
main language), sound 2 (e.g. foreign language), or
sound 1+2 (both simultaneously).
Maximum You can limit the volume adjustment of the loud-
volume speakers. This prevents selecting a volume which
is too loud.
Maximum Set the sound level to be heard after switching on the
switch on TV set with the mains switch or after a power failure.
volume When switching on the TV set in standby mode, the
volume last used is retained unless it was above this
switch-on level. Otherwise it is limited by this.
Balance Set stereo balance so that the volume impression is
identical on the left and right.
Auto speech If the automatic speech detection is activated,
detection the sound of the current programme is automati-
cally output with optimum comprehensibility when
speech is detected.
