Your system is equipped with
Adaptive Sound Technology which
allows you to enjoy an optimal sound
experience with a multiple speaker
setup even though your speakers are
not placed correctly for your listening
position. The Adaptive Sound
Technology feature in the television
uses all connected speakers to create
the ultimate sound experience of
perfectly placed speakers.
To enjoy the advantages of this setup
several speakers and a Beo5 remote
control are necessary. If you have
only a few speakers or a Beo4
remote control, this setup is not
recommended and you should
choose the setup without Adaptive
Sound Technology described in the
chapters about first-time setup and
loudspeaker setup in the Guide
enclosed with your product.
Overview of first-time setup
The first-time setup of your television has up
to four main steps: registration of all
connected equipment, tuning of channels,
loudspeaker setup and sound adjustment.*
After the first couple of menus you are asked
to switch Adaptive Sound Technology on or
off. Continue with the procedure described
here if you select ON. If you select OFF, follow
the procedure described in the chapter about
first-time setup in the Guide.
You can make and name your own presets for
listening positions such as at the dining table
or in your favourite armchair. For further
information about listening presets, refer to
page 6 in this supplement.
If you choose to switch on Adaptive Sound
Technology function, you can still disable it in
one or more of the listening presets you
make. For fur ther information about
Adaptive Sound Technology, refer to page 4
in this supplement.
The setup procedure is activated
when the television is connected to
the mains and switched on for the
first time. You are led through an
automatic series of on-screen menus
in which you must register the extra
equipment you have connected, such
as a projector and loud speakers.
If you change your setup at a later date,
you can access the same menus and
update your settings. Remember that
you need to set the speaker types
and the distances in the SPEAKER
SETUP menu.
*NOTE! Tuning of channels is not part of first-time
setup in all countries.

information about Adaptive Sound Technology,
refer to the chapter ‘Loud speaker setup’ on
page 4.
SPEAKER SETUP … In this menu, you are led
through a procedure in which the highlighted
speaker makes a sound. You then register the
speaker type in the menu. Enter the straight-line
distances from two points, Points A and B to
each speaker, to the left and right sides of the
television screen and a projector screen, to a
viewing position and the distance between the
two points. For further information about the
SPEAKER SETUP menu, refer to page 5 in the

characteristics such as volume, bass, treble, and
loudness. In addition, you can select two
default speaker combinations; one to be used
each time you switch on a video source in your
television, and one to be used each time you
switch on an audio source connected to your
television. You can also select which LISTENING
PRESET should be activated when you switch on
an audio source. If you select the option
MANUAL, the preset used when switching on
the audio source continues to be active and if all
your sources are switched off, the preset used
before switching on the audio source is
automatically activated. If you select one of your
LISTENING PRESETS, the selected preset is
activated every time you switch on an audio
source. You can still select a different speaker
combination any time you wish. For further
information about the SOUND ADJUSTMENT
menu, refer to the chapter about adjusting
picture and sound settings in the Guide.

menu and select a PRESET field. Then select the
speakers to be active for different listening
positions, such as at the dining table or in a
favourite armchair, and determine the distance

the Adaptive Sound Technology and either
rotate the selected speaker setup or set the
speaker roles and level. For further information

Adaptive Sound Technology makes it
possible to enjoy optimal sound
experience with a multiple speaker
setup even though your speakers are
not placed correctly for your listening
position.*
The distance from your listening
position to any speaker in a listening
preset should not exceed 10 metres.
In this part of the setup you set up
speakers for your television and an
optional projector.
Loudspeaker setup
Points A and B
For Adaptive Sound Technology to figure out
the exact position of each speaker, you will
need to decide on two fixed points, Point A
and Point B, before you can enter the settings
of the speaker setup menu. These points
could, for example, be on a wall.
Guidelines for fixing Point A and Point B:
1 Fix the points in the edge of a room, so all
speakers are placed on the same side of an
imaginary line between Point A and Point B.
2 Fix the points far apart from each other, at least
two metres.
3 From both Point A and Point B you should be
able to see all speakers in the setup. However, it
is acceptable if a piece of furniture is in the way.
Examples of two possibilities for points A and B with
the imaginary line from one point to the other. You
can preset speaker combinations for several
listening positions such as at the sofa when you
watch television, at the dining table or when you
sit in an armchair reading.
*NOTE! To use the setup menu without Adaptive
Sound Technology, bring up the TV SETUP menu

OFF and store.

Listening presets
>> Loudspeaker setup
Select the speakers to be activated in TV mode
and, if you have connected a projector, in
Cinema mode. You can also make up to five
customised listening presets, such as at the
dining table or in a favourite armchair. Selec t
three to seven* speakers and up to two
subwoofers to be activated for a preset and
determine the distance from your listening
position to three of the activated speakers.
For each customised listening preset it is also
possible to rotate the perceived sound 360
degrees around the listening position. The
default rotation is 0 degrees which is the
direction from your listening position to the
television.
If your speakers are placed correctly for your
listening positions, it is recommended that
you disable Adaptive Sound Technology and
set the speaker roles, distances and levels. If
you activate fewer than three speakers, you
must set the speaker roles, distances and
levels. For further information about speaker
roles, distances and levels, refer to the
chapters in the Guide about assigning roles
to speakers, setting the speaker distance, and
calibrating the sound level.
*A stereo speaker such as a BeoLab 7-1 or 7-2
counts as two speakers if fewer than six speakers
are activated.
