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

mode characteristics (movie, music, matrix) in case of
Dolby Pro Logic II coded broadcasts.
The movie mode is „movie focused", that is, the
centre sound is dominant, as we are used to it in
a movie.
In music mode, you can set 3 parameters:
Width: center sound is mixed with left/right.
Change in dimension: rear and centre are mixed
with left/right.
Panorama: distance between the speakers is
increased artificially.
In matrix mode, the front speakers are „mirrored"
to the rear speakers. Front left is mixed with left rear,
right front with right rear and the centre sound is
distributed to all channels.
The menu item appears when a multi-channel
system (speaker system) is connected and
loudspeakers are simulated (e.g. DVB signal with
2.0 sound, listening mode to 5).
Sound Here, you can adapt preset sound characteristics

can do the settings for pitch and bass sound (high
and low frequencies).

Surround Here you can choose between different surround
modus sound simulations (see next page).
Sound If the sound and picture are not precisely in sync,
picture you may correct this here. Move the mark on the
synchronisa- bar downwards, slowing down the sound compared
tion with the picture. Move the mark upwards, speeding
it up compared with the picture. Time adjustment
of the sound occurs in steps of 10 ms in each case.
only available for DVB stations.
Volume The volume can differ according to the individual sta-
adjustment tions. If the sound is too loud or too quiet in relation
to other stations, adjust the volume.
When the menu is open, you can select the stations
one after another with P+/P– and adjust every
single station conveniently.
