improves the tilt but it is still not satisfactory, move the
STRENGTHswitch to the HtGHposition. This should
correct the situation.

You may need to reset the POLARITYand STRENGTHswilches

these channels (90, 91 ,92), you can change the picture

settings fl)r that component's signal as desired without
changing the settings of any other channel. This is very
useful because you will be able to adjust for the best

The EQUALIZERfunction lets you display an on-screen
graphic equalizer so you can remotely adjust audio

bandwidths for different environments or individual tastes.

Adjusting the graphic equalizer is primarily a matter of
personal taste. The adjustments can be thought of as more

precise tone controls that allow certain characteristics of
the audio to be changed without affecting others. For
example, if someone enjoys sharp, clean horns (brass),
increasing the 4.5 kHz control can bring them out. Using a

conventional treble control would also increase vocals and
high-frequency noise, which might be an undesirable

side-effect.

' -The equalizer also gives control of the center range that

bass and treble controls do not affect. Since vocal
frequencies are in these center ranges, tone controls have

little effect on them. The center bands not only give
control of vocals, but allow selective vocal ranges to be
controlled. For example, reducing the 4(X) ttz and 1 kHz

bands can soften a strident male vocalist, and increasing
the 2 kHz and 4.5 kHz controls can bring a subtle female

w,)ice tbrward. Adjusting the 1 kHz and 2 kHz bands can
add intelligibility to a speaker or singer under certain

circumstances.

The equalizer can also be used to compensate for either
deficiencies or excesses in the way the system or room
reproduces the music. Most common problems are "dull"

and "live" rooms that have too little or too much treble and
"live" rooms of certain sizes that have standing waves that

boom. Experimentation can help find the nearest band to
correct such problems. A room with a sofa and many
drapes, for example, might benefit from increasing the 4.5

kHz and 10 kHz bands. Live rooms with wood floors and
few furnishings commonly boom or resonate in the upper

bass range. Adjusting the 150 Hz band could control that
without taking away good, deep bass that a conventional
bass control would reduce.

them well, Increasing the control gives the bass more
"punch", lowering it can help reduce "booming".

music, increasing this control adds fullness to these

sounds, reducing it makes them sound thinner.

help project these sounds or make a vocalist easier to
understan& Reducing it can soften strident music.

2 kHz...Strongly affects the harmonics (overtones) of
voices and some instruments. This frequency is most

easily heard by the ear. Increasing this control will project

most instruments and vocals: reducing it helps control

brilliance and allows more subtle sounds in the other

ranges to be heard.

4.5 kHz...Affects harmonics (overtones) of voices and

some instruments, particularly brass and strings.
Increasing this control makes these instruments and vocals
sharper and brighter. Reducing it can help control
excessively "lispy" vocals or shrill instruments.

10 kHz...Affects the highest, most delicate harmonics of

some instruments such as strings and the overall content of
others such as cymbals and drum snares. Increasing this
control brings out this "crispness" in cymbals and
"sweetness" in strings and gives the music "atmosphere",

Reducing it can help control noise and hiss.

Receiving Stereo Broadcasts

Your TV is fully capable of reproducing stere() sound from

TV stations mmsmitting stereo sound in your area. All you
have to do to enjoy stereo sound is to make sure the TV's

STEREO/SAPfunction is set to STEREO so the TV can receive

stereo broadcasts.

Normally this function can be left in the STEREOmode.

Your TV will then automatically reproduce either stereo or
monaural sound, whichever is broadcast.

In some fringe viewing areas, however, the stereo signal
may not be strong enough for quality reception. The signal

may drift, or the reproduction may become noisy. Should

-that occur, change the STEREO/SAPfunction to the MONO

mode to receive clearer, cleaner sound.

Helpful tlint: Some television stations transmit a "pilot" signal that
makes your TV think it's receiving stereo, even though the broadcast
signal is monaural The "pilot" signal will nmke the stereo indicator
apF_ear on the screen next to the channel number, however, you will not

be able to hear stereo sound. If the stereo indicator appears but you can
not hear stereo sound, check with the television station to inquire
whether the program being broadcast is in true stereo or monaural audio,

Receiving SAP Broadcasts

Some TV stations that broadcast stereo also broadcast
another audio program called SAR SAP stands tor Second

Audio Program and is sometimes used to broadcast a
second audio track lbr a bilingual movie.

Because SAP is only available with stereo broadcasts, the
TV's STEREO/SAPfunction must be in the STEREOmode to see

if SAP audio is available. Alter you have set the
STEREO/SAP function to the STEREO mode, your TV will

display the word STEREO next to the channel number when

stereo audio is being received. If SAP audio is also

available, your TV will display an asterisk (*) alter the

word STEREO(STEREO*).

You can then listen to the SAP audio by changing the
STEREO/SAPfunction to its SAPsetting as explained below.
Although SAP audio is transmitted with the stereo signal,

it is not broadcast in stereo. That means the SAP audio
will be monaural sound.

Your TV will reproduce SAP audio until you change

Expanded Stereo

Your TV includes an Expanded Stereo feature which adds
greater depth and dimension to stereo broadcasts. Your TV

electronically increases lhe audio separation perception of
the speakers so you perceive an "expanded" more spacious

stereo sound effect.
Although you can easily turn the expanded stereo feature

on and off as desired, you may prefer to leave it turned on.
That way your TV will automatically process and expand

the stereo signals whenever a stereo broadcast is received
(or whenever a stereo tape is played through a stereo VCR
connected to the TV's audio/video jacks labeled INPUT).

_cause this feature expands stereo sound, it processes

only stereo signals. If a TV program is broadcast in mono

instead of stereo, your TV will automatically reproduce
monaural audio. You will not be able to hear Expanded

Stereo because expansion has no effect on monaural audio.
Stereo expansion enhances the ambience of music and

program material. Dramatic effects of spatial enhancement

can be experienced with music. Talk shows with

background crowd noise also benefit from expansion by
engulfing the listener in a wider sound field than would be
experienced without expanded stereo. The effect will vary
with program material.

The perception of greater stereo separation is created by
cancelling the cross-coupled sound from the right speaker

that arrives at the left ear (and the left speaker that arrives
at the right ear). Like stereo headphones, stereo expansion
isolates the left and right signals that arrive at the ears. As
a result, the speakers seem to be farther away from the TV.

Notes: The Expanded Stereo feature will have no effect unless the
program is broadcast in stereo.

When the Expanded Stereo feature is turned on. some sound will be
heard from each swaker regardless of the BALANCEcontrol setting.

TV labeled EXTERNALSPEAKERS,and put the SPEAKERswitch

(also on back of TV) in the EXTERNALposition. If you do
not want to use external speakers, place the SPEAKERswitch
in the INTERNALposition to turn on the TV's internal

speakers. Details about connecting speakers are on

pages 52-53.

2 Set up the rear (surround) speakers.

Place them as shown above. We recommend elevating
them to about standing head height for a better surround

output. Connect them to the speaker terminals on the back

of the TV labeled SURROUNDSPEAKERS.

Note: If you can not get enough volume out of the set as it is
connected in the aN)ve diagram you can connect the HtElOUTjacks on

the back of the TV to an amplifier with its own speakers. This would
replace the internal speakers (or the speakers connected to the

EXTERNALSPEAKERSterminals). You can also connect the SURROUT

jacks on the back of the TV to an amplifier with its own set of

speakers to replace the speakers connected to the SURROUNDSPEAKERS
terminals. Details are on pages 52-53,
