[. . . ] 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 nightime viewing. 28 8 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 decode mode PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) explanation 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 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 sound mode. Also note only analogue output is available for both AV2 and AV3 as a monitor out signal, even if digital audio has been selected. 29 digital audio status - decode mode DTS (Digital Theater Systems) This is the decode mode for a digital signal encoded by DTS.
