>> Loudspeaker setup – surround sound 
The speakers you connect to the  television can have more than one role. If, for example, you only use one set of 
front speakers when you watch T V on  your television screen, you can turn your chair ninety degrees towards a projector  screen and use those same speakers as 
right front and rear speakers in a surround 
sound system for Home cinema.

highlight a speaker role, a sound is produced by a speaker. 
>  Use the navigation button left or right to

and hold BACK to leave the menu without storing.  Assigning roles to the connected 
loudspeakers allows you to specify the 
speakers’ function in a surround sound 
system and the number of speakers to be  used. Assign different roles for watching T V

Calibrate the sound level 
When you have connected speakers in a 
surround sound setup to the television, 
you must perform a speaker calibration. 
A calibration sound is produced  alternately in each of the speakers you have connected in your surround sound  setup. Your task is to adjust the sound 
level from all the connected speakers to  match the sound level from the centre  speaker. You can choose whether you 
want the sound sequence to occur  automatically or manually. 
Once you have performed your speaker  calibration, you will only need to re-
calibrate the speaker sound if you make 
changes to the setup, for example, if 
you move one or more of the speakers.  To calibrate the sound level …
>  Bring up the T V SETUP menu and highlight 
OPTIONS. 
>  Press the centre button to bring up the 
OPTIONS menu and highlight SOUND. 
>  Press the centre button to bring up the 
SOUND SETUP menu and highlight 
SPEAKER LEVEL. 
>  Press the centre button to bring up the 
SPEAKER LEVEL menu. SEQUENCE is  highlighted. 
>  Use the navigation button left or right to 
choose between AUTOMATIC and 
MANUAL. 
>  Use the navigation button left or right to 
adjust the speaker sound and use the navigation button up or down to move to 
another speaker. 
>  When you have adjusted the sound for all 
the speakers in your surround sound setup,  press the centre button to store or press 
BACK to leave the menu without storing.

Adaptive Sound Technology 
Your system is equipped with Adaptive Sound Technology which allows you to enjoy an  optimal sound experience with a 
multiple speaker setup even 
though your speakers are not  placed correctly for your listening 
position. The Adaptive Sound 
Technology feature in the  television uses all connected speakers to create the ultimate 
sound experience of perfectly  placed speakers. 
To enjoy the advantages of this  setup, several speakers and a Beo6 remote control are necessary. If you have only a few 
speakers or a Beo4 remote  control, this setup is not 
recommended and you should  choose the setup without 
Adaptive Sound Technology  described in the chapters about 
first-time setup and loudspeaker  setup on pages 7 and 24 . 
In this part of the setup you set 
up speakers for your television 
and an optional projector. 
For information about daily use of Adaptive Sound Technology, 
see Getting Started. 
If you choose to switch on the Adaptive 
Sound Technology function, you can still  disable it in one or more of the listening presets you make. 
>  Bring up the T V SETUP menu and 
highlight OPTIONS. 
>  Press the centre button to bring up the 
OPTIONS menu and highlight SOUND. 
>  Press the centre button to bring up the 
SOUND SETUP menu and highlight AST  ON/OFF. 
>  Press the centre button to bring up the 
AST ON/OFF menu. 
>  Use the navigation button left or right to 
enable or disable the technology. 
>  Press the centre button to store or press 
and hold BACK to leave the menu without storing. 
In the SOUND SYSTEM menu you can see  whether the Adaptive Sound Technology is  enabled or not and which listening preset is 
currently activated. See page 28 .

For Adaptive Sound Technology to 
figure out the exact position of each  speaker, you will need to decide on two 
fixed points, Point A and Point B, before  you can enter the settings of the speaker setup menu. These points could,  
for example, be on a wall. 
Guidelines for fixing Point A and Point B: 
1  Fix the points in the edge of a room, so all 
speakers are placed on the same side of 
an imaginary line between Point A and  Point B. 
2  Fix the points far apart from each other,  
at least two metres. 
3  From both Point A and Point B you should 
be able to see all speakers in the setup. 
However, it is acceptable if a piece of 
furniture is in the way.  Examples of two possibilities for points A 
and B with the imaginary line from one  point to the other. You can preset speaker 
combinations for several listening positions 
such as at the sofa when you watch 
television, at the dining table or when you sit  in an armchair reading.
