Sound Projector Technology
838 Series. The TV’s built-in speaker array can be
adjusted to reflect sound off the room walls to create a
surround sound effect. Setup can be performed either
manually or automatically.
• To create the surround sound effect, the room walls
must reflect sound and not be covered with sound-
absorbent material.
• Repeat the setup procedure if you reconfigure the
room’s walls or furnishings.
Before You Begin
Positioning the TV
• Center the seating area in front of the TV and at
least six feet away from it.
• Arrangements that give good results:
• If the room is an odd shape, locate the TV to take
best advantage of wall reflections.
• Avoid locations that may distort sound reflections.
Connecting the TV
To hear digital surround sound, the TV must be con-
nected to a digital surround sound source. The TV can
receive digital surround sound from:
• Any HDMI jack
• The
ANT input (from some digital broadcasts)
Other stereo connections will provide Dolby Pro Logic
surround sound.
