Setup: Sound: Sound Modes: Movie
The Movie Sound Mode is designed for
use when watching movies, either from
local media (such as DVD or Blu-ray),
streaming sources, or television
broadcasts.
Timbral settings are flat and bass
management is on. The TrueImage
processing is on and all of its controls
are set to the middle position.
Setup: Sound: Sound Modes: Game
The Game Sound Mode is designed for
use for audio with game consoles.
The Frequency Tilt and Sound Enhance
settings give a slight bass and treble
enhancement and bass management is
on. The TrueImage processing is on and
its controls are set to elevate the image
and give an increased impression of
envelopment and surround.
Setup: Sound: Sound Adjustment: Eco Mode
When the Eco Mode is turned on, then
loudspeakers that are not currently in
use will be switched off automatically by
the television. If Eco Mode is off, then all
loudspeakers associated with the current
Speaker Group will be switched on by
the television. Note that the behaviour of the Eco
Mode setting is also dependent on the
input signal. For example, if you have a
7.1 loudspeaker configuration and the
Processing (under Sound Modes:
Advanced Settings: Spatial Controls) is
set to 1:1, the loudspeakers that are
currently switched on, are those that are
associated with the input channel
assignments. So, if you are watching
television, only two loudspeakers will be
switched on. If you then switch to a DVD,
then 5 of your main speakers and your
subwoofer will switch on.
Setup: Sound: Sound Modes: Adaptive
The Adaptive mode is, in fact, not a
sound mode. Rather, it is an auto-
selector that chooses the best sound
mode from the list below using
metadata in the signal stream (in the
case of DVB) or for a given source (i.e.
Blu-ray player, PC, game console etc.).
Sound Modes available for selection by
the Adaptive setting are: Movie, Game,
Speech, Drama, Sports, Music.
Setup: Sound: Sound Adjustment: Headphones
Different brands and models of
headphones produce different output
levels for the same input depending on
their ‘sensitivity’. The Headphones menu
allows you to make adjustments for this
sensitivity. For example, if you have headphones
with a high sensitivity, then they will
sound louder than your loudspeakers at
the same volume setting. Therefore the
headphones value should be turned
down to offset the headphone output
to a lower level, matching the
loudspeakers’ output levels. Note that not all Bang & Olufsen
televisions are equipped with a
headphone output. In the case where
your device does not have this feature,
this menu item will not be displayed.
