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, 3D surround 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. NEXTVIEW 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 for tonight or the 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 NEXTVIEW provider, the selected TV channel will provide NEXTVIEW data and additional information of its own broadcasts as well as from other (non selected) TV channels. Normally you will select the NEXTVIEW provider that transmits most information in your language.You can make the best selection via information from TV announcements or from the newspapers. Important: In order for NEXTVIEW to function properly, the first TV channel from the favourite list should also broadcast the correct local 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. Installation Select Installation and press the OK key to return immediately to the INSTALLATION menu.

Stereo

Hall The special sound signal is distributed over the rear loudspeakers which creates a hall effect from the rear. The centre loudspeaker does not reproduce any signal. This mode is recommended when you wish to add surround sound to a broadcast which is not encoded Dolby Surround or to a mono signal.
Stereo This mode reproduces only the left and right front sound signals. You only hear a stereo sound if the broadcast which you are watching or listening to is transmitted in stereo or nicam stereo.
With two extra front loudspeakers connected
To enhance the sound reproduction of your TV you may connect two extra front loudspeakers via an external amplifier. See Connect Peripheral Equipment, Extra loudspeakers/Amplifier, p. 27. In the Surround modes, Hall and Stereo (+ amp) is added to indicate that you should switch on your amplifier as in these modes the internal TV speakers do not produce any sound. Note: If extra front speakers are connected and selected, all internal TV speakers produce centre sound in the surround modes Pro Logic, Dolby 3 Stereo and 3D Surround.

/ Teletext Guide

In the Setup menu, p. 8 you were asked to select a NEXTVIEW provider. If the selected provider supports NEXTVIEW then the TV will automatically present the NEXTVIEW programme schedule. If the TV channel supports just teletext, then the TV will switch automatically to Teletext Guide. Both facilities are offering the same functions: record, remind, info and watch. However in case of Teletext Guide the broadcaster is responsible for the availability of these functions. Some broadcasters provide information about their own programmes and sometimes about programmes on other TV channels for one or more days. You can search for the programmes you want to watch up to 7 days in advance. It is also possible to search for a programme by theme, e.g. sport, movie, etc. Once a programme has been selected it can be tagged, to remind you, or to record on the video recorder automatically (provided the video recorder is equipped with NEXTVIEWLink), once, daily, weekly or series. Teletext Guide/NEXTVIEW also allows direct access to detailed information about programmes if provided by the broadcaster.

Tips & Index

Glossary
100 Hz 100 Hertz provides a superior solution to the problem of picture flicker which is particularly noticeable with larger screen sizes. In a conventional TV, the picture area is scanned 50 times a second (50 Hertz) a frequency which is still detectable by the human eye in the form of a flickering picture. In 100 Hertz sets, the picture area is scanned at a rate of 100 times per second (100 Hertz). At this frequency, the eye cannot detect flicker, resulting in a clearer picture which is more relaxing to the eye. Dolby Surround Pro Logic Literally wraps you in 4-channel sound. it brings your favourite movies to life with all the realism and impact of cinema sound as though you are part of the action. Smart Picture and Sound Controls Keys on the remote control to select predefined picture and sound settings. Sleeptimer Function with which you can set a time period after which the TV should switch itself to standby.
