Uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-HEOS futhi luhlinzeka ngamaphrofayili okubekwa: Ikhona Nokuma Okukhululekile, isilawuli Sokunwebeka esithinta okucatshangwayo kobubanzi besiteji kuqhathaniswa nokugxila, kanye nokuphimisa okuguquguqukayo ngokulawulwa kweMfudumalo/Ukucaca. Ama-Grand Horizons amabili angabhangqwa njengezipikha ezingakwesokunxele nezingakwesokudla ukuze kwakhe isistimu ye-stereo yangempela, nakuba lokhu kubuyekezwa kugxile ekusebenzeni kweyunithi eyodwa. Into eyodwa ongayitholi isilawuli kude esizinikezele, i-Grand Horizon ilawulwa ngokuyinhloko ngohlelo lokusebenza lwe-HEOS.
Setha & Sebenzisa

Ukusetha kuqondile. Ixhume, xhuma nge-AirPlay noma ngohlelo lokusebenza lwe-HEOS, futhi uhlelo lujoyina inethiwekhi ngokushesha futhi kalula. Iringi ye-LED ezwela ukuthinta ngaphambili inikeza ukulawula kwevolumu yendawo kanye nempendulo ebonakalayo yamamodi, futhi ukuhlanganiswa kwe-HDMI eARC kusho ukuthi ivolumu ye-TV isebenza ngesilawuli kude se-TV uma usuxhume ikhebula. Uma isipikha sihlezi endaweni yokugqoka, ikhonsoli, noma phezulu kwetafula eduze kwezindonga, imodi yokubeka yeKhona igcina i-bass ilawulwa; kwifenisha evulekile imodi yokuma mahhala yenza izinguquko ezifanele ukuze kugcinwe umsindo ulinganisele.
Imibono yokulalela
