Securing to a wall  
1. Keep the Plasma Display monitor four inches away from the wall except those hung to the wall mount bracket.  
10cm (4 inches) or more  
Do not block the ventilation holes of the Plasma Display monitor or the AVC center. Blocking the ventillation holes might cuase fire  
or defect.  
NOTES: 1.  
2. The plasma television has two AC cords, one on the AVC center and the other on the Plasma Display monitor. In case of an  
abnormal symptom, unplug both AC cords.  
3. If you purchased the wall mount bracket option, please ask for professional installer. Do not install by yourself.  
Caution when moving the main unit  
As this product is heavy, whenever it is moved, two people are required to transport it safely. Whenever the unit is moved it should be  
lifted forward using the two handgrips at the back, and the unit should then be held at the base on both sides for stability. When moving  
the Display Monitor, lift the handles and the bottom frame as shown below. Do not grab the speakers or the back cover when lifting.  
Handgrips  
42HDT20  
32HDT20  
ANTENNA  
Unless your Plasma Television is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor color TV antenna is  
recommended for best performance. However, if you are located in an exceptionally good signal area that is free from interference and  
multiple image ghosts, an indoor antenna may be sufficient.  
LOCATION  
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.  
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.

HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI PLASMA TELEVISION  
VIEWING  
The major benefit of the HITACHI Plasma Television is its large viewing screen. To see this  
large screen at its best, test various locations in the room to find the optimum spot for viewing.  
The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the TV and about 8 to 18 feet from the

screen.  
During daylight hours, reflections from outside light may appear on the screen. If so, drapes  
3’  
or screens can be used to reduce the reflection or the TV can be located in a different section

of the room.  
If the TV’s audio output will be connected to a Hi-Fi system’s external speakers, the best  
audio performance will be obtained by placing the speakers equidistant from each side of the  
receiver cabinet and as close as possible to the height of the picture screen center. For best  
stereo separation, place the external speakers at least four feet from the side of the TV, place  
the surround speakers to the side or behind the viewing area. Differences in room sizes and  
acoustical environments will require some experimentation with speaker placement for best  
performance.

Interference for infrared  
equipment.  
Some infrared rays are emitted from the plasma display monitor’s panel that might affect other  
infrared controlling equipment.  
Bright and dark spots  
High-precision technology is used to manufacture the plasma display panel; But in some  
cases, there are minor defects in some parts of the screen. Points that do not light, points  
with brightness different from that of the perphery, points with color different from that of the  
periphery, etc. Some pixels will always be on or always off. Please note that this is not a  
malfunction.

5
Picture Image (Spectrum) When receving still picture signals, (e.g. channel number indication or clock indication) for a  
while, you can see image-like when the picture varied. This is not a defect.  
Display panel surface  
The plasma display panel is lighting the phosphors by the discharge of internal radiation. In  
temperature is too high some cases, this may cause the temperature of the panel surface to increase. Please note  
that this is not a malfunction. The Plasma TV surface temperature is higher than a  
Cathode-ray-tube.

Plasma Surface  
Transportation  
The plasma panel is made from glass. Heavy shock on the front panel might damage it.  
When the PDP monitor is transported horizontally, the glass panel has the possibility of being  
broken or increasing the picture defects. At the time of transportation, horizontal style is  
prohibited. More-over, please treat the plasma panel with great care because of a precision  
apparatus. Please instruct transporters so that it should be put into the packing box at the time  
of shipment.(There is a possibility that breakage of the panel or defects will increase.)  
Rough transportation might cause damage to the panel and pixel failure.  
8
Image retention  
The plasma monitor illuminates phosphor to display images. The phosphor has a finite  
illumination life. After extended periods of illumination, the brightness of the phosphor will be  
degraded to such extent that stationary images would burn-in that part of the screen as  
grayed-out images.  
Tips to prevent such image retention are:  
- Do not display images having sharp brightness differences or hi-contrast images, such as  
monochrome characters and graphic patterns, for long.  
- Do not leave stationary images appearing for long, but try to refresh them at appropriate  
intervals of time, or try to move them using screen saver function.  
- Turn down the contrast and brightness controls.  
9
Luminosity and contrast PDP television has luminosity and low contrast compared with CRT television.  
10 Granular spots  
When a screen is seen at point-blank range, a random fine grain may be visible to a dark part.  
11 Disturnbance to video  
apparatus  
If an apparatus (VCR, etc.) antenna line is arranged near the monitor, the image may shake,  
or disturbance may be received.  
12 Lip Sync  
There is some time lag betweeen the picture and the sound. You can see lip motion that is  
delayed compared to the sound.  
13 About the use  
Electric discharge/luminescence characteristic of the PDP panel also changes with peripheral  
temperature. Moreover, since there is also high power consumption value, a specified  
environment of PDP  
television (temperature) temperature environment is required.  
14 Caution on prolonged  
storage  
Storing the plasma television for a period of more than 2 to 3 months without use might cause  
an unstable picture when the set is turned on.  
7
HOOKUP CABLES  
Most video/audio connections between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables that have phono connectors.  
For best performance, video cables should use 75-Ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables can be purchased from most stores that sell  
audio/video products. Below are illustrations and names of common connectors. Before purchasing any cables, be sure of the output  
and input connector types required by the various components and the length of each cable.

CONNECTING A/V NETWORK  
Your Hitachi Plasma Television is equiped with an A/V 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 AVC Center 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 A/V Network setup between your Hitachi Plasma Television and external Audio/Video equipment (VCR and DVD Player).

TIPS ON REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS  
S-VIDEO 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 the AVC Center.  
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: 4 in the  
example on page 22). 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 1 & 2) connections are provided for high performance components, such as DVD players and set-

PICTURE-IN-PICTURE (PIP)  
Your HITACHI Plasma TV incorporates Dual Tuner technology designed for improved viewing enjoyment. This Dual Tuner feature allows  
you to view antenna inputs on both the main picture and sub-picture simultaneously, with separate tuning control for each. The Dual  
Tuner can operate with only one input (ANT A only) or two inputs (ANT A and ANT B).  
ANT A input can be viewed as both the main picture and the sub-picture simultaneously. ANT B can only be viewed as a main picture.  
To select between main picture and PIP sub-picture tuning, press the PIP CH button on the remote. The highlighted channel display will  
move with every press of the PIP CH button. When the top channel display is highlighted, channel tuning is for the main picture. When  
the lower channel display is highlighted, channel tuning is for the PIP sub-picture.  
The Picture-in-Picture feature is convenient when you want to watch more than one program at the same time. You can watch a TV  
program while viewing other programs from the ANT A source or any of the video inputs.

When SPORTS mode is selected, the following are automatically set:

MATRIX SURROUND - OFF, AUTO CONTRAST - OFF.  
When MOVIES mode is selected, the following are automatically set:

NOTE:  
MOVIE MODE 3:2 PULLDOWN DETECTION SPECIAL 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 MOVIES mode is selected from the PICTURE MODE menu, your Hitachi Plasma Television will activate the circuitry  
for this special feature to improve video performance when watching film based sources. This 3:2 pulldown detection will  
only work in MOVIES mode.  
When NEWS mode is selected, the following are automatically set:  
CONTRAST - 75%, COLOR TEMPERATURE - MEDIUM, TruBass - MEDIUM, PERFECT VOLUME - ON, MATRIX SURROUND -  
OFF,  
AUTO CONTRAST - ON.  
When MUSIC mode is selected, the following are automatically set:  
CONTRAST - 75%, COLOR TEMPERATURE - HIGH, TruBass - MEDIUM, PERFECT VOLUME - OFF, MATRIX SURROUND - OFF,  
AUTO CONTRAST - ON.  
You can customize each of the above modes (SPORTS, MOVIES, NEWS and MUSIC) to your preference to increase viewing per-  
formance and pleasure, depending upon the video program being viewed. If RESET is selected, only the selected mode will reset to the  
initial conditions as explained above.  
If RESET is selected in SPORTS mode, only SPORTS MODE will return to factory conditions.  
Press EXIT to quit menu or select PICTURE MODE to return to previous menu.

b r

3. If you are using the COMPONENT VIDEO input jacks (Y-P P ) and notice that the TINT and COLOR are abnormal,  
b r  
check to make sure that VIDEO - Color System is set properly.  
Color System  
This function allows you to automatically change tint and color coordinates for DTV programs.  
AUTO - Automatically determines the color system for the input signal.

NOTES: 1. If Color System is set improperly (does not match actual input signal), the color and tint of the main picture will be

CARE OF YOUR HITACHI PLASMA DISPLAY  
AND YOUR REMOTE CONTROL  
DO  
Dust the screen with a soft 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.  
Place your Plasma Television away from extreme heat, humidity, and extremely dusty places.  
Remove the plug (AVC Center/Display Monitor) 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.  
DO NOT  
Do not clean your screen with strong cleaners, polishes or a chemically treated cloth.  
Do not place rubber or vinyl products or cellophane tape on your Plasma Television.  
Avoid repeatedly touching the screen.  
Do not subject the remote control to shocks such as dropping it on the floor, etc. This may cause physical damage  
to the precision parts.  
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 remote control 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 sunlightfor a long period of time or heat may cause damage to the plasma screen.

USEFUL INFO  
• 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 posi-  
tion 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 with-  
out 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:  
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 monitor has been designed pursuant to the FCC class B Rules. This is to prevent a prob-  
lem to Radio receivers. If this monitor causes a problem to Radio receivers, then take the follow-  
ing steps:  
- Keep the monitor away from Radio.  
- Adjust Radio antennas in order for the monitor not to receive  
interference.  
- The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the monitor.  
- Use a coaxial cable for antenna.  
You can check if this monitor influences Radio receivers by turning off all other equipment other  
than the monitor.  
If you find a problem receiveing Radio when using the monitor, check the instructions mentioned  
above.  
• Adjust the dot clock frequency and phase.  
(Adjust the dot clock frequency first, the dot clock  
phase next.)  
• The display image appears  
scrolling diagonal.  
• Text displayed across the  
screen appears vertically  
streaked, with the characters  
in vertical columns blurred.

• This condition may occur when the unit is  
connected to a VCR with component output,  
such as 480i, but it is not a failure. But when  
it occurs, switch to composite output or S1  
(S2) output).  
• The display dims to make the picture  
invisible during special playback of a  
VCR (FF, REW).
