exceptionally good signal area that is free from

interference and multiple image ghosts,

Wire

an indoor antenna may be sufficient.

LOCATION

Wood screw

two places

Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor

illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen.

Also, be sure that the location selected allows a free

flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the

set. In order to prevent an internal temperature

increase, maintain a space of 10 cm (4 inches) from the

sides/back of the Television, and 30 cm (12 inches)

from the top of the television to the wall. To avoid

cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased

chance of set failure, do not place the TV where

temperatures can become excessively hot, for

example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance,

etc.

Tips on Rear Panel Connections

•

S-VIDEO, YPbPR, or HDMI connections are provided for high performance laserdisc players, VCRs etc. that

have this feature. Use these connections in place of the standard video connection if your device has this

feature.

•

If your device has only one audio output (mono sound), connect it to the left audio jack on (L/(MONO)) the

Rear Panel.

Refer to the operating guide of your other electronic equipment for additional information on connecting

your hook-up cables.

A single VCR can be used for VCR #1 and VCR #2, but note that a VCR cannot record its own video or line

output (INPUT: 1 in the example on page 14). Refer to your VCR operating guide for more information on

line input-output connections.

•

Connect only 1 component (VCR, DVD player, camcorder, etc.) to each input jack.

COMPONENT: Y-P P (Input 3 & 4) connections are provided for high performance components, such as

B R

DVD players and set-top-boxes. Use these connections in place of the standard video connection if your

device has this feature.

•

Your component outputs may be labeled Y, B-Y, and R-Y. In this case, connect the components B-Y

output to the TV’s P input and the components R-Y output to the TV’s P input.

Your component outputs may be labeled Y-C C . In this case, connect the components C output to the

B R

TV’s P input and the components C output to the TV’s P input.

It may be necessary to adjust TINT to obtain optimum picture quality when using the Y-P P inputs. (See

•

To ensure no copyright infringement, the MONITOR OUT output will be abnormal, when using the

HDMI input jacks.

•

Input 1 or 2 can accept HDMI signal.

S-VIDEO monitor output may be used for recording only when the input is of S-VIDEO type.

•

When using a HDMI input from a Set-Top-Box, it is recommended to use a 1080i or 720p input signal.

MACROVISION NOTES:

1. Video signals fed through a VCR may be affected by copyright protection systems and the picture will be

distorted on the television.

2. Connecting the television directly to the Audio /Video output of a Set-Top-Box will assure a more normal

picture.

Your Hitachi Plasma Television is equipped with an AV Network feature. This feature helps to control your

external Audio/Video equipment (VCR, Set Top Box, DVD, etc.). Once this is setup, it allows your IR Mouse

connector to control your equipment using your HITACHI Plasma TV Remote Control. You can use your

HITACHI remote control to control the Audio/Video equipment command without the equipment’s remote

control.

The Plasma Television Rear Panel has 2 IR BLASTER jacks. Each IR Mouse cable can connect up to 2

external Audio/Video components. Therefore, you can connect the Plasma Television with up to four

components. Please see the following example of an AV Network setup between your Hitachi Plasma

Television and external Audio/Video equipment (VCR and DVD Player).

original performance. Each voice, speaking or singing, each instrument or sound effect is presented with its

attendant harmonics or partials more clearly audible. The ear can then more easily recognize the unique tonal

colors of each sound as though the sound was being produced live.

Equipment Care and Troubleshooting

DO NOT

Dust the screen and cabinet with a soft cloth.

Do not clean your screen with strong cleaners, polishes

or a chemically treated cloth.

Clean the screen with a soft cloth moistened in warm

water and dry with a soft cloth. A mild soap may be

used if the screen is extremely dirty.

Do not place rubber or vinyl products or cellophane

tape on your Plasma Television.

Place your Plasma Television away from extreme heat,

humidity, and extremely dusty places.

Avoid repeatedly touching the screen.

Do not subject the remote control to shocks such as

dropping it on the floor, etc. This may cause damage to

the precision parts.

Remove the plug from the wall outlet if your Plasma

Television will not be used for a long period of time, for

instance, when you go on vacation.

Avoid placing the remote control in a high humidity

place or getting it wet. Do not leave it on or near a

heater. Excessive heat or moisture may cause the unit

to fail.

When the batteries run down, remote control operation

will become erratic or become unresponsive. Replace

the old batteries with two new “AA” size batteries. Do

not use an old battery with a new battery.

Exposing the screen to direct sunlight for a long period

of time or heat may cause damage to the plasma

screen.

Reception Problems

IGNITION NOISE:

Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift.

Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps,

electrical drills, and other electrical appliances.

GHOSTS:

Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the

direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or some other

objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve

reception. Ghosting may also be caused by defects in the antenna system such

as unshielded leads or connecting several sets to the same antenna without

using multiple antenna couplers.

SNOW:

If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where the

signal is weak, your picture may be marred by the appearance of small dots.

When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a special

antenna to improve the picture.

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:

• RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:

The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some

cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.

• PREVENTION OF AN OBSTACLE TO RADIO RECEIVERS

This television has been designed pursuant to the FCC class B Rules. This is to prevent a problem to Radio

receivers. If this television causes a problem to Radio receivers, then take the following steps:

- Keep the television away from Radio.

- Adjust Radio antennas in order for the television not to receive interference.

- The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the television.

- Use a coaxial cable for antenna.

You can check if this television influences Radio receivers by turning off all other equipment other than the television.

If you find a problem receiving Radio when using the television, check the instructions mentioned above.

BLOCK NOISE (DIGITAL INPUT):

Fuzzy blocks may appear in some area or the whole area of the screen. This is

usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps,

electrical drills, ghosting of the image and weak signals.

BLACK SCREEN:

When using an antenna, weak signals will display a black screen. It may be

necessary to upgrade your antenna.

NOTE: The TV set can generate sound distortion in external devices such as a radio. Please separate radio

equipment from the TV set to a considerable distance.

Troubleshooting

No.

Items

Notes

A buzzing sound may be heard when the plasma television is turned on in a very quiet

room. This is due to the plasma panel drive circuit when it is functioning. The buzzing

sound is normal and is not a malfunction.

Some infrared rays are emitted from the plasma television panel that might affect the

operation of other infrared controlling equipment.

Buzzing sound from Plasma

Infrared interference

Bright and dark spots

Picture Image

High precision technology is used to manufacture the plasma television. But there

maybe points that do not illuminate, points that are too bright, and points with color

different from that of the periphery. Please note that this is not a mafunction.

In some cases, residual images may remain after the short term display of still images

when the picture changes.

The plasma display panel display images by means of electrical discharges inside the

panel. This may cause the temperature of the panel surface to increase. Please note that

this is not a malfunction.

A reinforced glass filter is installed over the plasma panel surface. A strong impact to

the front panel risk a danger of glass breakage.

Please transport the plasma television in it's packing box and placed in an upright

position. Do not transport the plasma television in a horizontal position. This increases

the posibility of panel breakage and pixel failure.

When a screen is seen at point-blank range, a random fine grain may be visible in the

dark areas of the picture.

High temperature affect the electric discharge/luminescence characteristic of the PDP

panel. Do not place the plasma television in high temperature environments.

Operating altitude: 800 to 1,114hPa (6,194ft to -2,484ft). Operating temperature: 41˚F

to 95˚F.

Storage altitude: 300 to 1,114hPa (31,912ft to -2,484ft). Storage temperature: 5˚F to

140˚F

Repeatedly turning the plasma television Power ON and OFF at short intervals may

result in failure of the television.
