The Sound Mode selection menu allows the user to select between various sound effects. These effects enhance your
viewing pleasure, particularly when viewing movies, sports events and concerts etc.. The guide below provides a description of the Sound
Modes and what mode is suggested for viewing particular programs.
D O L B Y P R O LOGIC (Internal Speaker Mode)
In this mode virtual surround sound can be created using just the TV s internal speakers. Activate 3DS to enable virtual surround sound. This mode is also
particularly suitable for films and programmes that display the DOLBY SURROUND caption. (This mode is recommended for the majority of TV viewing).
DOLBY PRO LOGIC (External Surround Amplifier Mode)
In this mode full cinematic sound is achieved using the TVs internal circuitry, combined with your choice of external surround sound amplifier and speakers.
(Please Note: The 3DS system should be de-activated for this mode see HITACHI 3DS System Section ).
This mode is particularly suited to action movies and dramas that display the DOLBY SURROUND caption.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC (Theatre)
This mode creates a larger sound field for those programmes that have little surround sound content. It is particularly effective when used in conjunction with
external surround amplifiers, however, if you are using the TV internal speakers only, activating the 3DS system will also provide a pleasing aural sound.
HALL (External Surround Amplifier Mode)
HALL mode creates an ambient sound effect, especially when viewing mono broadcasts. Again this mode is very effective when used in conjunction with external
surround amplifiers. Activate the 3DS mode whilst using the TV s internal speakers to obtain equally pleasing sound from your TV.
Select this mode when viewing classic films or drama events, which were recorded in mono.
S T E R E O
When STEREO mode is selected, the TV produces high quality stereo sound. Select this mode when viewing general TV programs and films.(3DS sound can
be activated in this mode to provide a much wider stereo image).
NOTE:
1. Dolby Pro Logic can only be achieved by the addition of an external surround sound amplifier and speaker system. Sockets have been provided
to enable you to do so if you wish. (Please see TV CONTROLS OVERVIEW section of this manual. Consult your HITACHI dealer with regards to
purchasing external equipment).
You can, however, enjoy a surround sound experience, without the need to add external equipment, from your television s 3DS surround sound
system, developed by HITACHI.
3DS uses the surround channel information which has been separated from the original sound track by the integral Dolby Pro Logic decoder and
processes it, before feeding back to the internal TV speakers.
2. Activating 3DS whilst using external surround amplifiers will cause the external surround channels to mute.
3. Activating and de-activating 3DS can only be achieved whilst no menus are on-screen (see HITACHI 3DS
System Section ).
This effect produces NICAM digital stereo sound from the TV.
Use this mode for the majority of TV viewing. When selected the
STEREO symbol is displayed in the top right hand corner of the
TV screen as shown.
See also Hitachi 3DS System.
In monaural mode the TV transmits a single sound source. The TV will
automatically select this sound when a mono signal is found. Some stereo
signals can become poor in adverse weather conditions, and mono should be
selected to avoid poor sound. Use the
key to switch to mono (the
symbol below appears when switched).
