●Speaker Select
If you are listening to the sound track 
of a broadcast or movie through an 
external receiver, you may hear a 
sound echo caused by the difference 
in decoding speed between the TV’s  

speakers and the speakers attached to 
your audio receiver. If this occurs, set 
the TV to External Speaker .

External Speaker , the TV’s speakers 
are turned off. You will hear sound 
through the external speakers only.

the external speakers are on. You 
will hear sound through both.

and mute functions will not operate 
and the sound settings will be 
limited.

the TV’s speakers and the external 
speakers will be mute.

broadcasting conditions, the volume  

may fluctuate each time you change 
the channel. This feature automatically 
adjusts the volume of a channel by 
lowering the sound output when the 
modulation signal is high or by raising 
the sound output when the modulation 
signal is low.
 
NTo use the volume control of a 
connected source device, set Auto 
Volume to Off . If Auto Volume is

source device may have no effect.

support DHCP automatically provide 
the IP address, subnet mask, 
gateway, and DNS values your TV 
needs to access the Internet so you 
do not have to enter them manually.
