cinematic HD televisions with richly textured HiFi sound for TV, web, movies or video
games - It automatically adjusts to the differences between shoot ‘em up action flicks,
Shakespearean dramas, and live concerts to deliver the sound as it was intended. - For after-hours viewing, Night Mode compresses the volume so you can hear all the
details without waking the family. - The PLAYBAR plays all sources plugged into your TV: cable and satellite boxes, Blu -ray™
players, and video game consoles-through the single optical input on the back. It also
plays all common audio formats from TVs, including Dolby Digital 2.0, Dolby Digital 5.1,
and PCM.
