...notes on digital audio status

When your television is in its appropriate Audio Visual mode and a digital signal is being played

and applied through one of the Audio Digital in connections (either optical or coaxial), the input status

and incoming format will be displayed in the top right hand corner of the screen.

explanation

decode mode

PCM

(Pulse Code Modulation)

Dolby Digital

This is the decode mode for a digital signal encoded by PCM.
This is a two channel audio source which may, or may not be
encoded in Dolby Pro Logic - its encoding depends on the
source material. It can be regarded as a better quality version of
the left and right analogue audio signals heard from your TV
through a scart input connection. This format is generally used
for standard Audio CD’s.

This is the decode mode for a digital signal encoded by Dolby
Digital. This is capable of delivering a maximum of 5 main
channels (left, right, surround left, surround right and centre) and
a Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel. Your television takes
advantage of data on the disc to tell you the number of different
channels available on the decoded track 

...notes on Laserdisc connection

A Laserdisc source with a Dolby Digital RF output cannot be connected to this TV directly.

Please obtain an adaptor from an electrical retailer.

Also note that when using a Laserdisc player in conjunction with an RF demodulator to decode Dolby

digital sound, Hitachi recommend putting the Decode mode to DIGITAL. This will avoid dropping in

and out of analogue sound while searching or pausing the disc that is playing.

Pressing the INFO button on your handset reveals the format of the incoming signal 

not 

the

way it is being processed i.e. pressing the INFO key on the handset might reveal Dolby D 3/2.1,

but your TV might be set to stereo mode - see digital audio setup. Also note only analogue

output is available for both AV2 and AV3 as a monitor out signal, even if digital audio has been

selected.
