Surround Modes
Dependent on your personal preference and the
sound signal broadcasted, select one of the
Surround modes.
Stereo
This mode reproduces only the
left and right front sound
signals.
Dolby 3 Stereo
(optimal with Dolby Surround broadcasting)
The Dolby Pro Logic* sounds
are distributed over the front
left, the front right and the
centre TV loudspeakers.
Hall
The sound signal is distributed
over the rear loudspeakers
which creates a hall effect from
the rear.
The centre loudspeaker does
not reproduce any signal.
Dolby Pro Logic II
(optimal with Dolby Surround broadcasting)
All front and rear loudspeakers
reproduce the Dolby Surround
Pro Logic II sounds.
This sound is always present in
the movie or programme
marked with G Dolby
Surround.
Note:
• Normal stereo broadcast is not always encoded to
produce a rear surround sound effect.
• In case of a Cinema Link receiver configuration
connected, only the surround modes of the external
receiver can be selected.

i key
Press the i key.
When Dolby Digital sound is reproduced, the
sound info on screen displays the number of
loudspeaker signals which are transmitted.
This is indicated by 2 numbers: the first one
indicates the number of front loudspeaker
signals, the second one the number of rear
loudspeaker signals.
E.g. 'Dolby Digital 3/2' means that 3 front
signals are transmitted: left, right and centre,
and 2 rear signals: left and right surround.
'Dolby Digital 1/0' means that a mono signal is
transmitted.
'Dolby Digital 2/0', 'MPEG' or 'PCM' means that
the transmission contains a stereo signal which
can be Dolby Surround encoded. In this case
the surround mode will display Dolby Pro
Logic II.
