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  
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.

Notes  
A buzzing sound might be heard when the plasma display monitor is turned on in a very quiet  
plasma display monitor’s room. This is due to the plasma panel drive circuit when it is functioning. This arching sound

3
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 periphery, 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.  
4
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.  
6
7
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. For 55” only, brightness will decrease automatically during still and slightly  
moving pictures. This is not a failure. This is a special feature to avoid image retention.  
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 Disturbance 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  
environment of PDP temperature. Moreover, since there is also high power consumption value, a specified  
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.  
15 Operating  
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.  
16 Storage  
17 Power ON or OFF  
Frequent use of the Power ON or OFF might trigger the power protection circuit. If the TV  
does not turn ON, please wait a little before turning ON again.

HDMI is the next-generation all digital interface for consumer electronics. HDMI enables the secure distribution of uncompressed  
high-definition video and multi-channel audio in a single cable. Because digital television (DTV) signals remain in digital format,  
HDMI assures that pristine high-definition images retain the highest video quality from the source all the way to your television  
screen.  
Use the HDMI input for your external devices such as Set-Top-Boxes or DVD players equipped with an HDMI output connection.  
HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC.  
NOTES: 1. The HDMI input is not intended for use with personal computers.  
2. Only DTV formats such as 1080i, 720p, 480i and 480p are available for HDMI input.

CONNECTING AV NETWORK  
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 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 AV Network setup between your Hitachi Plasma Television and external Audio/Video equipment (VCR and DVD Player).

TIPS ON REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS  
•
S-VIDEO, YPbPR, IEEE 1394 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 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 25). 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.

The Auto Movie Mode function turns ON or OFF the 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 Auto Movie Mode is turned ON from the VIDEO menu, your Hitachi Plasma Television will activate the  
circuitry for this special feature to improve video performance when watching film based sources.  
NOTES: 1. When using Progressive Scan Component or HDMI OR DVI input (Ex. 480p, 720p), Auto Movie Mode will not be  
available (grayed out). Please see table below for additional information.

CARE OF YOUR HITACHI PLASMA DISPLAY  
AND YOUR REMOTE CONTROL  
DO  
Dust the screen and frame with a cleaning cloth from the accessories pack.  
Clean the screen and frame 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 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:  
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  
problem to Radio receivers. If this monitor causes a problem to Radio receivers, then take the  
following 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 receiving Radio when using the monitor, check the instructions mentioned  
above.  
• Adjust the horizontal clock and clock phase.  
(Adjust the horizontal clock first, the clock  
phase next.)  
• The display image appears  
scrolling diagonal.  
• Text displayed across the  
screen appears vertically  
streaked, with the characters  
in vertical columns blurred.

• Adjust the clock phase for the clearest  
viewing.

• 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).
