Setup: Sound: Sound Modes: PRESETNAME: Advanced Settings: Dynamics Control: Clip Protection
Each of the television’s audio signal
paths has a customised soft clip function
protecting its outputs to ensure that the
loudspeakers’ signals are not hard-
clipped (and thus audibly distorted) at
high listening levels. The ‘price’ of this
protection is that output signals
approaching the upper limits of the
digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) are
increasingly modified with higher levels. This soft clip function has a threshold of
–3 dB FS. Signals with a peak level lower
than this will be unaffected.
It is possible to disable this protection by
setting the Clip Protection to OFF, which
will allow high-level signals to pass,
unmodified to the DAC.
Note that, if Clip Protection is set to OFF,
then there may be cases, depending on
your input signal, settings, and volume
level, where one or more output signals
will be clipped and distortion will be
generated by the system. The audibility
of this problem is dependent on the
exact conditions, and is thus
unpredictable. Consequently, it is highly
recommended that, unless you are
certain of your intentions, you should
have Clip Protection set to ON at all
times.
Options: ON / OFF.
