Surround Sound Operation (TX-86PW100A & TX-76PW100A)
Surround Sound Systems
Stereo reproduction normally uses left and right speakers, but Digital Theater System and Pro Logic Surround
go further, adding a centre and other channels so you are immersed in sound and special effects.
Digital Theater Systems (DTS) I Dolby Digital
Both DTS and Dolby Digital split soundtrack information into 6
separate channels of sound which are output through the speaker
setup: five full range channels (left, center, right, left surround, right
surround) and a ‘0.1’ (i.e.: limited range) bass channel. This gives
you superb sound quality from DTS / Dolby Digital encoded tracks
Subwoofer /
LFE Speaker
Centre
Speaker
when a compatible speaker system is connected to your TV. Most
dialogue comes from the centre channel, which enhances dialogue
and focuses it so it seems to come from the action on screen. The
separate rear left and right channels give a dramatic sense of
space, with sounds travelling in all directions between front, centre
and rear channel speakers (e.g.: a rocket going overhead starts
behind you to the left and explodes in front of you to the right). The
‘0.1’ Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel gives impact to bass
sounds and to special effects more felt than heard (e.g.: the thud of
a dinosaur footfall or the rumble of thunder). While DTS and Dolby
Digital are both high quality, ‘5.1’ channel surround systems, the
two systems differ in how they break down and store sound
information They also differ in how they work with existing speaker
setups. Dolby Digital has been designed to be backwardly
compatible with Dolby Pro Logic and conventional stereo setups.
DTS on the other hand, focuses on the high quality, 5.1 channel
surround output choosing not to develop backward compatibility
with existing sound systems.

Note:
External equipment is usually connected to the TV via one of the AV terminals to provide pictures and sound
(e.g. a VCR player connected to AV2). To receive a DTS or Dolby Digital encoded soundtrack from compatible
equipment (e.g.: a DVD player, a set top box) you will also need to connect an optical or coaxial cable to one of
the TV’s digital audio sockets. See page 41 for connection details. Also see the Digital Audio option in the
SOUND menu, page 17.
Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Pro Logic surround uses four channels of sound: left, right,
centre and a rear channel giving excellent reproduction of Pro

Logic encoded tracks when a compatible speaker system is
connected to your TV. Most dialogue comes from the centre

Surround Sound Operation (TX-86PW100A & TX-76PW100A)
Dolby Digital and Pro Logic modes
For Dolby Digital input or Pro Logic selected in Surround mode, the following three modes of operation are
available as the speaker setting: Normal, Phantom, and 3 Stereo.
Left Front
Speaker
Normal
If front and rear speakers are connected, use Normal mode. The
TV’s internal left and right speakers will produce centre speaker
information. With a DTS/ Dolby Digital 5.1 input, the TV’s internal
subwoofer produces the LFE speaker information. If the internal
speaker is switched off (see page 18) and an external centre
speaker used, the speaker must be connected using RCA cables,
via an external amplifier (otherwise it will not output any sound).
See page 41 for connection details.

these must be connected using RCA cables, via an external

3 Stereo
This is the best mode to use if rear speakers are not connected.
When using this mode, the surround information is redirected to
the front left and right speakers. The TV’s internal speakers output
centre information. If the internal speaker is switched off (see page
18) and an external centre speaker used, it must be connected to
the TV using RCA cables, via an external amplifier (otherwise it
will not output any sound). See page 41 for connection details.

Simulated modes allow various types of surround effects to be produced by mimicking both the direct sound, as

as a discos, stadiums etc. There are three different effects to choose from, each reflecting a different
atmosphere:

The speaker output levels from the different options, e.g.: Left, Centre,

Notes:
The adjustment menu available will vary according to the mode chosen.

Geomagnetic Correction
Magnetic interference may come from such things as unshielded motors, moving the TV while it is switched ON,
turning off a vacuum cleaner too close to the TV, lightning strikes nearby or many other things.
Slight tilting of the picture may be noticeable or coloured patches may sometimes appear at the corners of the
screen (colour purity).
The Geomagnetic Correction feature can be used to eliminate some interference problems.
Quite often simply switching your Television OFF with the Power On/Off Switch (not with the remote control) for
30 minutes and then switching it back ON will cure the problem.
Geomagnetic corrections can be made from the remote control or from the TV set.

Helpful Hint
1.
If geomagnetic changes cause colour patches on the screen switch your Television OFF with the Power
On/Off Switch (not with the remote control) for 30 minutes and then switch it back ON.
Adjustment for geomagnetic should be performed every time the location of the TV is changed.
In some cases colour patches will not be completely eliminated even after adjustment, particularly in
ferroconcrete buildings and other structures susceptible to geomagnetic effects. In these cases the TV
location will have to be changed.

Monitor Out
The Monitor Out terminals reproduce the signals currently on the television screen. The on-screen signals
could be a television programme or signals connected to one of the AV inputs.
The Monitor Out facility can be used to allow one video source (videotape, video disc etc.) to be
connected to more than one television. Connect the Monitor out from this television to the AV Input of the
second television.
If a video recorder is connected to the Monitor Out and video sources (VCR, video disc, camera etc.) are
connected to one or more of the AV inputs, the television becomes a visual display for tape editing or
copying. *
The Monitor Out Audio can also be connected to a stereo amplifier or other hi-fi equipment.

If the channel number is a small green number on the top left of the screen, press the recall
button on the
remote control. Any other channel number is one being broadcast by the television station. There is no way to
turn this off.
Question:
How do I tune my stations?
Answer:
The instructions for tuning the stations are on page 28 for automatic tuning and on page 29 for tuning
individual stations.
Question:
I have done an auto tune because the book told me to. If I am only to do manual search why is
automatic search first in the book?
Answer:
The automatic search and the manual search each have specific uses. The reason for each is clearly
described in the book. The reason that automatic search is described first is because this is the first option on
the screen.
Question:
Why does the screen turn blue?
Answer:
The television has been designed so that the screen turns blue when the signal strength is very weak or
nonexistent. The reasons may be:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The television station may have stopped transmitting.
You may have selected a programme number that has not yet been tuned.
You may have been watching a videotape or DVD and it has stopped playing.
Your aerial connection may have come loose.
Question:
When I skip a station why is a picture still coming up when I press the number that the channel is on?
Answer:
The Skip operation only works when you use the Channel Up ( /\ ) or Down ( \/ ) Buttons.
Question:
When I use the channel up or channel down why don’t I get all the channels?
Answer:
Some of the channels may be “Skipped”. See page 31.
Question:
Why doesn’t the channel change when I press the channel button?
Answer:
The television might be switched to Teletext mode. If it has been switched to text mode for closed captions
and they are not being transmitted there may not be any indication on the screen to let you know that you are
in Text mode. See pages 24, 25 and 26.
Question:
I turned my television to Standby with the remote control and then I turned it off with the power
switch. I turned the TV back on with the power switch but it’s still in Standby and I can’t find my
remote control. How can I turn the TV back on?
Answer:
Press the front panel Up (+ / /\) or Down (- / \/) button. See page 9.
