Listening presets
>> Loudspeaker setup
Select the speakers to be activated in TV 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, you
must set the speaker roles, distances and
levels. For further information about speaker
roles, distances and levels, refer to the
chapters in the Guide about assigning roles
to speakers, setting the speaker distance, and
calibrating the sound level.
*A stereo speaker such as a BeoLab 7-1 or 7-2
counts as two speakers if fewer than six speakers
are activated.

OPTIONS.
> Bring up the SOUND menu and select
LISTENING PRESETS.
