televisions with outstanding picture and audio capabilities, coupled with
Hitachi’s reputation for superior reliability. You should enjoy many years of
trouble free operation from your TV. Take some time to read this Users Guide

occurring with your TV, contact your dealer immediately.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND SOUND*
Dolby Pro Logic Surround Sound is the domestic version of Cinema Dolby
stereo sound, and allows the viewer to enjoy full cinematic sound quality when
watching films or events recorded in Dolby Surround. The surround channels
reinforce the stereo image, allowing front to rear sound movements (such as
overhead aircraft effects) which immerses the viewer in ambience and special
effects. In addition to this, the Pro Logic circuitry is able to create a centre
channel - this anchors dialogue and central sounds to the screen so that
speech does not become disembodied or lost in sound effects.
Dolby Pro Logic together with Hitachi's unique 3DS Spatial Sound system will
allow you to enjoy the full Cinema Sound in your own home. In addition to this
your Hitachi TV has full expansion sockets to accommodate optional speaker
systems, so you can set up your listening area to match your most exacting
audio demands and aesthetic preferences. These features along with
outstanding picture quality and of course our reputation for superior reliability
will continually reward your decision for choosing HITACHI.
