Auto Surround

Sometimes the broadcaster transmits special signals for Surround Sound
encoded programmes.
Dependent on your speaker configuration, the TV automatically switches to
the best surround sound mode when
However it is possible to overwrite this setting.

Wireless surround

To make use of the wireless surround loudspeakers, use the cursor left/right
to select the same channel as you selected on the active loudspeaker.
(In the factory, channel 1 has been selected as default.)
Under most circumstances an interference free sound reproduction will be
guaranteed.
To avoid interference from external RF (wireless) equipment such as
headphones, RF audio, remote controls for lights it may be necessary to shift
to another wireless channel number. Do not use a mobile telephone close to
the wireless equipment as interference might occur.
In practice only 3 or 4 channels are available because at least a gap of two
channels is necessary to have enough separation.
Always be sure that the active surround speaker and the Wireless Surround
setting are switched to the same transmitting channel. Otherwise no sound or
only a distorted sound will be heard on the surround speakers.

Auto Surround is switched On.

When the TV is tuned to a channel in the neighbourhood of 864 MHz
(433 MHz in case you purchased a TV with a typenumber in the range
36PW9765/01 or /58), the transmitter is switched off because no RF surround
sound is possible.This is necessary to avoid interfered picture.You can improve the
picture quality by using the suppressor aerial cable supplied.

When no RF surround sound is possible or when there is too much
interference, use a wired back up solution with a 3.5 mm stereo jack. In this
case select Off in the Wireless surround menu item.
Connect the cable with the
active surround loudspeaker and with the black and red

PRE-AMP IN (TV) connector at the back of the

REAR R and L cinch

outputs at the back of the TV.
