Important Safety Instructions
SAFETY POINTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR HITACHI PLASMA TELEVISION
Our reputation has been built on the quality, performance, and ease of service of HITACHI plasma televisions.
Safety is also foremost in our minds in the design of these units. To help you operate these products properly, this section illustrates safety tips which will be of benefit to you. Please read it carefully and apply the knowledge you obtain from it to the proper operation of your HITACHI plasma television.
Please fill out your warranty card and mail it to HITACHI. This will enable HITACHI to notify you promptly in the improbable event that a safety problem should be discovered in your product model.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on this plasma television.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of a sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to a person.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
READ BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on this plasma television.
1.Read these instructions.
2.Keep these instructions.
3.Heed all warnings.
4.Follow all instructions.
5.Do not use this apparatus near water.
6.Clean only with a dry cloth.
7.Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8.Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9.Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10.Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11.Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12.Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13.Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14.Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15.Televisions are designed to comply with the recommended safety standards for tilt and stability. Do not apply excessive pulling force to the front, or top, of the cabinet which could cause the product to overturn resulting in product damage and/or personal injury.
16.Follow instructions for wall, shelf or ceiling mounting as recommended by the manufacturer.
17.An outdoor antenna should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electrical circuits.
18.If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges.

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.

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.

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. |
use |
• If your device has only one audio output (mono sound), connect it to the left audio jack on (L/(MONO)) the |
|
|
Rear Panel. |
|
|
|
|
time |
• Refer to the operating guide of your other electronic equipment for additional information on connecting |
|
|
your hook-up cables. |
|
|
|
|
First |
• 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 15). 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-PBPR (Input 3 & 4) connections are provided for high performance components, such as |
|
|
|
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 PB input and the components R-Y output to the TV’s PR input. |
|
• Your component outputs may be labeled Y-CBCR. In this case, connect the components CB output to the |
|
|
|
TV’s PB input and the components CR output to the TV’s PR input. |
|
• It may be necessary to adjust TINT to obtain optimum picture quality when using the Y-PBPR inputs. (See |
|
|
|
page 46) |
|
• |
To ensure no copyright infringement, the MONITOR OUT output will be abnormal, when using the Y-PBPR, |
|
|
and 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.

ASPECT button
Press this button to quickly change the picture format ASPECT ratio. Depending on the input signal format received, the picture format ratio allows you to adjust the images through the following options.
4:3 STANDARD
Use this aspect mode to display conventional (4:3) images. Side panels (gray areas) are placed to the left and right of the image to preserve the original aspect ratio of the source. Note: Use this mode for only 15% of your total viewing time to prevent uneven aging of the phosphors. Phosphors in the lighted area of the picture will age more rapidly than the gray areas.
4:3 EXPANDED
Use this aspect mode to display conventional (4:3) sources by linearly increasing image expansion from the center towards the edges of the display area in order to fill it.
4:3 ZOOM1/ZOOM2
Use these aspect modes to zoom in on conventional (4:3) sources.
16:9 STANDARD
Use this aspect mode to display 16:9 sources like HDTV and DVD’s preserving the original 16:9 aspect ratio.
16:9 ZOOM
Use this aspect to Zoom-in once while in 16:9 aspect.
