Surround loudspeakers
There are two surround loudspeakers supplied. One is the active loudspeaker,
including the RF receiver, a power switch, the mains supply, a channel selector,
a red and black connector clip, a left/right surround loudspeaker switch and a
3.5 mm stereo jack to make a wired connection with your TV in case there is
interference or the wireless connection is not possible.The other
loudspeaker is a passive one which has to be connected with the active
loudspeaker with the supplied speaker cable.
•Set the slide channel switch 1at the bottom of the active loudspeaker to
channel 1. (In the factory channel 1 has been chosen as the default channel.)
See also Sound Setup, p. 10.
•Connect the active to the passive loudspeaker with the supplied speaker
cable 2.
Push the connector clip down, insert one end of the colour coded wire into
the opening of one connector clip and push it up again. Insert the other end
of the same colour coded wire in the same colour connector clip of the
other loudspeaker. Do the same with the other wire in the other connector
clips. Do not insert the wires too far.
•The Surround sound loudspeakers should always be located behind or to
either side of the listener. If preferred you can also hang the loudspeakers on
the wall.
The maximum distance between the TV and the surround speakers should
not exceed 15 m.
Note: people moving around close to the TV may interfere with the sound
transmission.
•Set the slide switch 3to the right if the active loudspeaker is positioned to
the right side of the listener, to the left if it is positioned to the left side of
the listener (seen from the point of view of watching the TV).
•Connect the active loudspeaker to the mains with the mains cable 4.
•Switch on the active loudspeaker with the POWER switch 5.
The red indicator at the front of the active surround speaker shows that the
speaker is in standby.
During sound transmission the indicator turns to green and back to red after
10-15 min. after the TV has been switched off.
To switch the active speaker off, use the POWER switch.
(Insert the mains plug of the TV in the wall socket having a mains voltage
of 220V-240V.
To prevent damaging the mains (AC) cord which could cause a fire or electric
shock, do not place the TV on the cord.

NEXTVIEW provider
Most broadcasters in Europe are offering teletext pages containing the day’s
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. 22.

10 Installation
Sound Setup menu
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.
However it is possible to overwrite this setting.
Wireless Surround
To make use of the wireless surround loudspeakers, use the cursor left/right
to select the same channel as you selected on the active loudspeaker.
(In the factory, channel 1 has been selected as default.)
Under most circumstances an interference free sound reproduction will be
guaranteed.
To avoid interference from external RF (wireless) equipment such as
headphones, RF audio, remote controls for lights it may be necessary to shift
to another wireless channel number. Do not use a mobile telephone close to
the wireless equipment as interference might occur.
In practice only 3 or 4 channels are available because at least a gap of two
channels is necessary to have enough separation.
Always be sure that the active surround speaker and the Wireless Surround
setting are switched to the same transmitting channel. Otherwise no sound or
only a distorted sound will be heard on the surround speakers.
When the TV is tuned to a channel in the neighbourhood of 864 MHz
(433 MHz in case you purchased a TV with a typenumber in the range 28-
32PW9615/01 or /58 or 32PW9765/01 or /58), the transmitter is switched off
because no RF surround sound is possible. This is necessary to avoid interfered
picture.You can improve the picture quality by using the suppressor aerial cable
supplied.
When no RF surround sound is possible or when there is too much
interference, use the wired back up solution with a 3.5 mm stereo jack. In this
case select Off in the Wireless surround menu item.
Connect the cable with the PRE-AMP IN (TV) connector at the back of the
active surround loudspeaker and with the black and red REAR R or Linputs
at the back of the TV.
Wireless headphone
When selecting the menu item Wireless surround, also the menu item
Wireless headphone is displayed.
It indicates the transmitting channel in case you want to operate a wireless
headphone.The transmitting channel is automatically selected dependent on
the transmitting channel chosen for Wireless surround.
Important:
Sets with the typenumber 28-32PW9615/01 and /58 and 32PW9765/01 and /58
will only operate with a wireless headphone for 433 MHz.
All other typenumbers will only operate with wireless headphones for 864 MHz.
