YourTV includes a feature called

which brings dimensional realism to
aboth ,stereo and mono broadcasts.
When the SRS ON/OFF function is set
to ON-and the STEREO/SAP function
is set to STeREd, your TV . .:
electronically increases the audio
separation ofthe speakers so you can
perceive a more spacious stereo sound
effect. If a stereo signal is not ‘present,
ym can set the SRS ON/OFF function
to its SYNTH STEREO setting to
synthesize and process the mono
signal.
When the SRS ON/OFF function is’set
to ON, you can also change the next
menu item called.SRS WIDTH between
N,dRMAL or ENHANCED. When this
.function is set to ENHANCED, the ’
perceived audio separation will be /
greater. Try both-settings and select
the one you prefer for your room
acoustics.
Note: Some material (audio) will
be more affected than others.
SRS (0) allows you to hear multiple
