...notes on seating position
The seating position control accommodates the position of the speakers with regard to your
seating position, and so further creates an atmosphere where improved sound qualities are obtained
from your TV.
• If you are seated near the front speakers,
adjust the seating position to FRONT.
• If you are seated between the front and
rear speakers, adjust the seating position to MID.
• If you are seated at a position close to the rear speakers, adjust the seating position to REAR.

At Hitachi we appreciate the fact that not all living areas 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. Please note that the surround setup menu is only available in
Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Pro Logic Theatre modes and so the TV will automatically default to Dolby
Pro Logic when selected. NOTE: When the surround setup menu begins, the TV's sound is replaced by
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 Setup' menu.
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 channels need adjusting. Once you have adjusted the selected level, leave the TV
to cycle through the Surround Setup menu a few times more, this will then allow you to determine
whether you have applied the correct amount of volume level to the selected sound channel.
