The 'Sound Mode' menu is shown. Select the
desired mode using cursor key's 17 or 21.
After selecting the desired Sound Mode, exit to
TV mode by repeatedly pressing MENU key (20).
DOLBY PRO 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
ound. 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 page 16)).
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.
STEREO
When STEREO mode is selected, the TV produces high quality stereo sound. Select this mode when viewing general TV pro-
grams 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. These
are available from your HITACHI dealer.
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 page 16).
