Depending on the supplied audio signal of your TV programme or 

DVD, you can select the speakers you want to listen here. The 

subwoofer is always active if connected (exception: listening mode 

is set to 1



). If more audio channels are supplied than the 

connected speakers are able to reproduce, the missing speakers can 

be added virtually (this case is represented respectively by brackets). 

In the "optimal" position, always the best quality sound is output 

with the ideal number of speakers for the currently played audio 

signal.

AV socket for dual sound programmes: Sound 1 (e.g. 
main language), sound 2 (e.g. foreign language), or 
sound 1+2 (both simultaneously).

identical on the left and right.

sound of the current programme is automatically 
output with optimum comprehensibility when 
speech is detected.
