Select the speakers to be activated in T V mode and, if you have connected a 
projector, in Cinema mode. You can also  make up to five customised listening 
presets, such as at the dining table or in a 
favourite armchair. Select three to seven*  speakers and up to two subwoofers to be 
activated for a preset and determine the 
distance from your listening position to 
three of the activated speakers. 
For each customised listening preset it is also possible to rotate the perceived  sound 360 degrees around the listening 
position. The default rotation is 0 degrees 
which is the direction from your listening  position to the television. 
If your speakers are placed correctly for  your listening positions, it is recommended that you disable Adaptive 
Sound Technology and set the speaker  roles, distances and levels. If you 
activate fewer than three speakers, it is  not possible to enable the Adaptive 
Sound Technology and you must set the  speaker roles, distances and levels. For 
further information about speaker roles,  distances and levels, see page 25 –27 . 
*A stereo speaker such as a BeoLab 7–1 or  7–2 counts as two speakers if fewer than six speakers are activated. 
The distance from your listening position to  any speaker in a listening preset should not exceed 10 metres.

Adjust volume, bass or treble 
Sound settings are preset at the factory 
to neutral values which suit most  listening situations. However, if you 
wish, you can adjust these settings to  your liking. 
You can preset levels for sound volume,  bass, treble and up to two connected 
BeoLab subwoofers. 
You can switch the loudness feature on  or off. The loudness feature compensates 
for the human ear’s lack of sensitivity to  high and low frequencies. These 
frequencies are boosted at low volume  levels so that low music becomes more 
dynamic. 
In addition, you can select two default  speaker combinations; one to be used 
each time you switch on a video source 
in your television, and one to be used  each time you switch on an audio source  connected to your television. You can  still select a different speaker 
combination any time you wish. 
When Adaptive Sound Technology is  enabled and a customised listening preset is created, you can select an 
audio preset to be activated 
automatically when you switch to an 
audio source. The default audio setting 
determines which speakers in the  selected audio preset should be 
activated.
