AUDIO MTS MODE (Multi-Channel Television Sound) will allow you to select STEREO (a stereo broadcast), SAP (second audio program) which may be a secondary language, weather report, etc. or MONO (monaural sound) used when receiving a weak stereo broadcast. The sources received will be displayed below the channel number. The source you select will be displayed to the left of the channel number. See example below for each selection when both stereo and second audio are received (monaural is always received). DYNAMIC BASS This function allows you to enjoy spectacular bass sound that would normally be heard only with expensive home speaker systems. LOUDNESS This function will improve the quality of both low and high frequency sounds when listening at low volume levels. INT. SPEAKERS This function is useful when first setting up the external speakers, or if you prefer to use only speakers from a separate stereo system. SURROUND The following surround settings will reproduce the "live" sound you would hear in concert halls, sports stadiums, movie theaters, etc. when you set up your speaker system as shown in the section on rear panel connections on pages 13-15. The surround sound system is most effective with movie and other stereo material that is Dolby Surround encoded, and played on a stereo VCR. Use the CURSOR buttons to select surround setting and to select and adjust the volume of front and rear speakers. Front volume also controls AUDIO TO HI-FI. Adjust front volume first. Each surround setting has separate front & rear volume controls. PRO LOGIC also has a center volume when CENTER MODE: NORMAL is selected. The CENTER and REAR VOLUME will increase or decrease when FRONT VOLUME is adjusted to keep an equal balance between the surround channels. The maximum volume allowed for the CENTER and REAR will depend on how loud the FRONT volume is set. The FRONT volume is the same as the main TV volume. 51
