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 Auto Surround is switched On. When rear speakers are connected and selected, Dolby Pro Logic will be reproduced.When no rear speakers are connected, Dolby Virtual will be reproduced. Overruling this surround mode remains possible.

NEXTVIEW provider

Most broadcasters in Europe are offering teletext pages containing the days programme schedule.These pages can be requested by switching the TV to Teletext Guide. An increasing number of broadcasters are offering an extended programme guide service called

NEXTVIEW.

NEXTV

IEW is a new way of presenting programme schedules and offers more

features than basic teletext.With

NEXTVIEW it is possible to show for instance

all the movies or children programmes coming tonight or on following days.

If you select

None as NEXTVIEW provider, the TV will capture all data from

the available TV channels which broadcast

NEXTVIEW. Broadcaster defined

menus will not be available. If you select a programme number of a TV channel stored in the favourite list as

NEX

TVIEW provider, the selected TV channel will provide NEXTVIEW data and additional info of its own broadcasts as well as from other (non selected) TV channels. Normally you will select as

NEXTVIEW

provider the TV channel that transmits most information in your language.You can make the best selection via info from TV announcements or from the newspapers.

Important: For a proper functioning of

NEXTVIEW, the first TV channel from the favourite list

should also broadcast the correct date and time via teletext. Please check at startup if the time and date are correct in the

NEXTVIEW screen.

Remark: Not all TV channels support

NEXTVIEW.

How to make use of

NEXTVIEW, see p. 17.
