When your television is switched to an AV scart input whose decode mode is set to AUTO/DIGITAL and a digital signal source is connected and playing on the coaxial or optical connectors, the options found in the SOUND MODE menu become dependant on the type of digital signal being received.

Please note: to enjoy the sound benefits of Dolby Digital, DTS etc. you will require software (eg. DVD disc, in which Dolby-D, DTS etc. signals are recorded.) and suitable hardware (some form of disc player, which can pick up a digital signal).

...notes on speaker setup

The Speaker Setup menu allows you to customise the televisions audio performance to your own requirements. These requirements might be the use of external amplifiers on one or more sound channels, or to use alternative speakers. This menu can help you organise the bass (or 'boom') redirection by specifying whether large, small or no speaker at all has been connected. Whatever your choice, this menu allows for greater flexibility and ultimately an improved sound performance.

digital input source

The digital audio setup menu allows the digital audio decoder in your television to be assigned to the AV scart input that your DVD, CD player is connected to.

decode mode

see also Sound Mode for effects

There are three possible decode modes...

Digital Your television ignores the analogue input on the selected AV and instead uses the optical or coaxial input as its source.

Auto Your television will automatically select between digital and analogue sources. If both are present, the digital source takes priority.

Analogue The television ignores the digital input in either the optical or coaxial connector and instead uses the analogue information on the selected AV as its source.

listening mode

When listening to a Dolby Digital source with the television sound mode set to Dolby Digital this control allows you to take advantage of special codes stored on the disc to reduce, or increase sound effects.

Maximum makes the best use of the televisions dynamic range. It will enhance sound effects such as explosions or screams

Standard is the normal listening mode. It does not make full use of your televisions dynamic range, but is a good compromise for all day viewing/listening.

Night mode allows the audio to be reproduced in such a way that the impact of soundtrack extremes (such as explosions) are reduced while quiet passages are 'boosted', allowing all the audio information to be heard at a low volume level. As it's name suggests, this mode is intended for nighttime viewing.

To return to normal TV operation press the television button on your handset.

...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.

digital input status describes the type of incoming digital audio signal please see table below. format for explanation see digital audio status - display format Dolby D 3/2.1

decode mode	explanation
PCM(Pulse Code Modulation)	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 used for standard Audio CD's.
Dolby Digital(Dolby D)	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
DTS(Digital Theater Systems)	This is the decode mode for a digital signal encoded by DTS. This has the same capabilities as Dolby Digital and is displayed when receiving a DTS encoded digital source.
MPEG(Moving Pictures Experts Group)	This is the decode mode for digital signals encoded by MPEG. MPEG tracks are either encoded as stereo or as having 5 main channels plus a LFE channel

...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.

This chart explains what sound channels are present when listening to the connected external equipment which has a digital output. These values can be viewed by pressing the INFO button on your handset when a digital signal is being received.

...notes on wide screen features

Various broadcast stations now transmit movies and programs in true wide screen format. Your TV can detect these signals and automatically switch to the correct format (when in AUTO mode). However, some broadcasters do not transmit this automatic sensing signal, and so your TV will not recognise which format is being transmitted. This situation can be overcome by simply pressing the 16:9 key on your handset.

16:9 format

The picture (right) illustrates a true 16:9 wide screen picture format. This type of picture fills the entire TV screen. The 16:9 mode can also be manually selected if desired by pressing the button 16:9 on your handset.

Note: Your TV will automatically switch to 16:9 mode when it receives a true 16:9 Wide Screen Signal through the external RF aerial or external AV sockets. You can override this change by pressing the 16:9 button on your handset to switch to the desired aspect ratio.

Illustration of a classic cartoon soccer ball displayed on a flat-screen TV (no text or symbols visible)

4:3 format

The conventional picture format for most broadcasts is the 4:3 ratio signal which gives black bars to the sides of the screen and this is consistent with screen compression (see right).

Illustration of a vintage CRT television displaying a soccer ball on screen (no text or symbols visible)

14:9 format

The 14:9 format (right) is the medium between the 4:3 and 16:9 ratio signals. When this mode is selected thin black bars appear to the sides of the screen.

Illustration of a soccer ball displayed on a flat-screen monitor (no text or symbols visible)

auto format

The Auto format is also one which can be selected manually. Auto mode automatically detects various screen formats that are transmitted in either conventional (4:3) or wide screen (16:9 or 14:9) format. After detecting which signal is being transmitted the TV will automatically switch to the correct screen ratio.

...notes on aspect ratios for external equipment

Laserdisc and videotape players will normally provide either a full 4:3 or letterbox widescreen format picture with black bands at the top and bottom. For viewing such widescreen picture formats, Hitachi recommend the C16:9L mode. DVD players will normally give an option of either 4:3 or 16:9 output mode (dependant on player and software - please refer to player instructions) For a full 16:9 picture, Hitachi recommend using the 16:9 mode.

Note: Your TV will automatically switch to 16:9 mode when it receives a true 16:9 Wide Screen Signal through the external RF aerial or external AV sockets. You can override this change by pressing the 16:9 button on your handset to switch to the desired aspect ratio.

...notes on wide screen features

Your viewing format can be selected manually by simply pressing the 16:9 key on your handset to scroll through the viewing format options See the examples below for the available viewing formats.

...notes on Sleep Timer

This feature is used to automatically place your TV into standby mode after a set number of minutes - use the right/left cursor buttons to set the timer between 5 and 120 minutes. When the timer has only a minute left this will be shown on the screen as a countdown from 59 seconds to zero, after which your TV's status will be standby.

...notes on Default features

Your TV also has default features which can control the viewing format of your TV's picture. See above for entry into and adjustment of these features. These features and their settings will only be effective if the widescreen picture format is set to AUTO.

...notes on Default Zoom

Various broadcast stations now transmit WSS (Wide Screen Signals) which identifies the picture format movies and programs are broadcast in. Your TV can detect these Wide Screen Signals and automatically switches your TV to the correct format (when in AUTO mode). However, some broadcasters do not transmit this WSS, and so your TV will not recognise which format is being transmitted. Therefore, DEFAULT ZOOM is used to choose your picture requirements when a Wide Screen Signal has not been sent or has not been detected.

...notes on Default 4:3

If your TV is receiving a 4:3 Wide Screen Signal, the viewing format displayed can be set using the default 4:3.

...notes Auto WS Detect

Auto Wide Screen Detect, when switched ON (and there is no WSS signal) enables your TV to look for the black bands at the top and bottom of the broadcast received and expands the picture in the appropriate aspect ratio. If this is set to 'OFF', these black bands cannot be detected. Therefore the picture format will revert to the setting specified in the DEFAULT ZOOM option if there is no WSS signal.

When watching some programs with Auto WS Detect ON, the C16:9L mode may result in unnecessary cropping at the top and bottom of the picture resulting in lost subtitles etc. To overcome this, please use the 16:9 or subtitle button on your handset.

When using external equipment with on-screen displays, incorrect operation of the Auto WS switching may occur while performing certain operations. For example, while watching a 16:9 cinema scope format film on a DVD player, pressing the pause button may result in the TV switching from the C16:9L mode to the default zoom. Visual forward and rewind operations may result in similar results. This action will also show your DVD players software menus on your television screen. This is normal operation.

Note: If you can see the screen format changing frequently after setting to 'ON' mode, set Auto WS Detect option to 'OFF' to stay at one fixed aspect ratio.

...notes on Teletext

Teletext is an on screen information magazine and it is entered by pressing the teletext button on your handset - a page similar to the one below will appear. Select the topic you want to view by entering a three digit number on your handset corresponding to the page number eg. press 1,0,1 for the News Headlines. Alternately, press a coloured button which relates to one of the topics at the bottom of the screen (the Fastext service) eg. press the green button on your handset for the sport magazine. Also, your Hitachi television can store upto 100 Teletext pages (English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Romanian, Swedish, Finnish, and Turkish are available) which allows quick and easy access to any page.

second stage

[NO TEXT]

1 2 3 4 5 6

In a standard 50Hz television the picture is created in two separate stages. For example, scan lines 1, 3, and 5 etc. are filled in first. Once this stage is complete scan lines 2, 4, and 6 etc. are filled. This means that after these two stages all the lines on your television screen have been filled (625 in total) resulting in a complete frame. This process is then repeated creating the picture you see on the screen of a conventional TV.

Note: a standard 50Hz picture is not available on your model

Progressive Scan

1 2 3 4 5 6

Hitachi's Progressive Scan TV's are constantly thinking ahead, filling in all the 625 scan lines in one go to make up a complete frame. This progressive addition of extra line information produces a picture that is brighter, more detailed than conventional televisions and displays the picture without the line 'flicker' often associated with 50Hz sets.

100Hz Natural Scan

Our 100Hz TV's create double the number of images per second, compared to a conventional 50Hz set. This delivers sharper, clearer, more stable total pictures which are flicker free. Our 100Hz sets also feature "Natural Scan" technology. This process eliminates the slight trembling of lines on the picture that is visible on conventional TV sets giving a rock steady picture which is clear and detailed. To switch between Progressive Scan and 100Hz press the button (displayed alongside the title) on your handset.

...notes on multiple picture

By pressing the multiple picture button on the handset ( ☑ ) your TV screen will step through and display all channels received through your aerial (depending on the display mode - see below).

...notes on audio equipment

If you have purchased your TV complete with Hitachi's power console please refer to the Users Guide that is supplied with the equipment.

Your HITACHI dealer can also advise you on the correct amplifier and speaker choice for your TV.

...notes on disc playing equipment

The Audio Visual output of a Digital Versatile Disc, Compact Disc, or laser disc can be connected to any of the 3 Audio Visual sockets of your TV, but for better quality it is recommended that they are connected to either scart sockets AV1 or AV2.

If digital Audio, such as PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG multichannel is to be employed, a special connection will need to be made to your television. You have a choice of two formats when connecting this type of equipment - an optical connection or a co-axial connection.

television co-axial and optical connections scart leads are an optional extra* Digital audio out OPTICAL CO-AXIAL ANALOGUE AUDIO OUT VIDEO OUT Disc playing equipment (this should be plugged into a mains socket) The Dolby Digital RF output of a laserdisc player cannot be connected to the digital audio input directly. Please obtain an RF demodulator from an electrical retailer. When using a Laserdisc player in conjunction with an RF digital demodulator, 'popping' may occur while carrying out various search operations with the player. co-axial connection If the coaxial connection is to be used, connect a 75Ωphono cable between the coaxial output of your Digital Versatile Disc, Compact Disc or laser Disc and the coaxial input of your television. optical connection Remove the dust covers from the optical output of the external disc player you wish to connect to your television. Store these in a safe place. Using a special optical lead available from high street retailers make the connection between the two points. You are now ready to view the contents of your chosen disc.

Only one connection should be made - if both the optical an co-axial formats are connected, the optical link will take priority.

important note

It is very important that the AV menu setup is adjusted correctly when connecting external equipment to your TV - the incorrect setting may lead to picture breaking and splitting. It must also be noted that when this external equipment is a VCR or camcorder, and your VCR mode is set to 'ON' Progressive Scan is not an option during playback and your TV automatically displays the picture at 100Hz.

...notes on using VCR's, camcorders and LaserDiscs played through AV input

The AV SETUP menu is used as a means of instructing your television to recognise what external equipment is being connected to your TV's scart, S-VHS and/or phono sockets. If you have any equipment connected to your TV (either permanently, like a VCR, or temporary, like a camcorder) it is important that your TV recognises which kind of equipment is connected. For VCR's, camcorders and LaserDiscs the appropriate AV VCR mode should be set to ON in the menu. This helps to provide a steady picture when playing back a recorded picture. If an S-VHS or Hi8 piece of equipment is to be used, these should be connected to either AV2 or AV3.

connecting to the mains socket

Important - Please read television safety before connecting your television and external equipment.

If digital video broadcasting equipment, computer equipment or video games are to be connected to this TV, use the AV2 located on the rear of your TV for RGB input. PLEASE NOTE: Prolonged use of computer equipment or games on this TV may cause permanent damage to your picture tube. To avoid such damage, reduce the brightness and contrast to an acceptable level and limit the duration of use of computer equipment.

...notes on signal source entry

Each piece of external equipment connected to your TV must have its own input socket. It would also be easier, and more organised, if the external equipment connected also had its own program number. Signal Source entry allows us to tell the allocated program what equipment is connected to which socket. This would make the switching between normal operation and the connected equipment much smoother.

For example, if you want to connect a games machine to your TV -

1. connect to socket AV2 via a scart lead.

2. give your games machine an empty program number of its own.

3. if desired change this program name.

4. give this channel the correct AV program source (in this case AV2).
