Auto Movie Mode

The AUTO MOVIE MODE function turns ON or OFF the 3:2 pulldown detection feature. Theatrical movies are shot on film at 24 frames or still pictures per second, instead of 30 frames or 60 fields like video. When film is transferred to video for television viewing, the disparity between the two frame rates must be reconciled. This involves a process known as 3:2 pulldown. When AUTO MOVIE MODE is set to ON your Hitachi Plasma Television will activate the circuitry for this special feature to improve video performance when watching interlace format film based sources. Set to OFF to

desactivate this feature.

Color Space

The COLOR SPACE function allows you to select between two color modes. Select VIBRANT for highly saturated (brighter) colors or Auto STD/x.v.Color™ for more natural colors.

NOTE x.v.Color™ is only available for HDMI/Component

Input and will provide a wide color range.

Cinema48™

This menu is active for HDMI with 24p or 24 frame per second inputs only. When the input signal is 24fps (Movies), a process called 2-2 pulldown operates and the signal will be converted to 48fps creating a beautiful and smooth picture that is very cinema like.

Lip Sync

Selecting this feature will allow you to synchronize the audio with the picture signal on a digital or analog source. Use the CURSOR PAD or to synchronize the picture and the audio signal. The default value is set to 0.

gray to black when watching 4:3 signals in Standard mode.
