Setup: Sound: Sound Modes: Sports
The Sports Sound Mode is designed for
use when watching broadcasts of
sporting events.
The Frequency Tilt and Sound Enhance
settings are increased slightly and bass
management is on. The TrueImage
processing is on and its controls are set
to increase the sensation of surround
and envelopment in the audio signal.
Dynamic Range compression is set to
medium.
Setup: Sound: Sound Modes: Music
The Music Sound Mode is designed for
use for music sources, either with or
without accompanying video.
Note that this mode is not designed as a
‘purist’ setting. However, it is intended
to have a minimal effect on the audio
signals, while still up- or down-mixing to
all loudspeakers in your current Speaker
Group.
Note that the factory settings for the
Custom mode can be used as a purist
‘direct’ mode.
Setup: Sound: Sound Modes: Custom
The settings and the name of the
Custom Sound Mode can be tailored to
your requirements and preference.
In its default settings, the intention of
this mode is to deliver the same signals
that the artist and the recording and
mastering engineers heard during the
recording process. All timbral settings are set to flat, the
bass management is off, and the
processing is set to 1:1.
Setup: Sound: Sound Modes: Night Listening
The Night Listening Sound Mode is
designed for situations where it is
desirable to hear all components of the
audio signal without large jumps in
dynamics or bass. In this mode, the
television’s dynamic range compression
is set to maximum and the speech
enhancement is increased slightly. Note that this setting may also be useful
in a “party” situation where it is
desirable to maintain a constant (but
relatively high) listening level.
Setup: Sound: Sound Modes: Drama
The Drama Sound Mode is designed
primarily for use when watching
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. Dynamic
range compression is on and set to
medium to reduce the volume changes
encountered during advertising breaks
in the broadcast.
Setup: Sound: Sound Modes: Speech
The Speech Sound Mode is designed for
signals where an increased speech
intelligibility is desirable, for example,
television news programmes.
The Speech Enhance setting is increased,
bass management and loudness are off,
and spatial controls are set to present a
more narrow sound image.
