At Hitachi we appreciate the fact that not all living area s are the same, therefore the Surround Setup menu allows the user to balance the
sound by adjusting the volume level to each channel, thus accommodating various room layouts.
In addition to this the menu also has a Surround Delay mode, this enables the viewer to select the optimum surround sound delay
depending on your seating position relative to the TV (not available when 3DS is active).
Please note that the Surround Set-up menu is only available in Dolby
fi
Pro Logic and Dolby
fi
Pro Logic Theatre modes, and thus will
automatically default to Dolby
fi
Pro Logic when selected.
NOTE:When the SET-UP menu begins, the TVs sound is replaced with a noise signal. This is easier to balance than normal TV sound, and
will cycle between the centre, left, right and surround channels (the centre channel cannot be adjusted unless an external amplifier for the
centre channel is connected and is adjusted from PHANTOM to WIDE or NORMAL modes in the Speaker Config. menu). If 3DS is active
the surround PHONO output becomes muted.
When the TV automatically cycles through the various sound channels, we suggest that you listen to the TV sound for a few moments
before adjusting any of the channels. By doing this you may be able to determine which channel needs adjusting. Once you have adjusted
the selected level, leave the TV to cycle through the Set-up menu a few times more, this will then determine whether you have applied the
correct amount of volume level to the selected sound channel.
The Surround Delay mode enables the viewer to set the optimum surround sound delay from the TV. There are
three levels to select and these are dependant on how close your viewing position is to the TV. Each setting is
displayed as a millisecond value (ms) and are configured as 15ms, 20ms and 25ms. If you feel that your
seating position is relatively close to the TV (example 1 below), then set the Surround Delay to 15ms. The 20ms setting should be used if
you believe your seating position is midway between the TV and the rear sound source (example 2 below). Set the Surround Setup to 25ms
if the seating position is relatively close to the rear sound source (example 3 below). Setting these modes is explained below.
Please note that 3DS should be de-activated before the Surround Delay mode is set.
