HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI LCD REAR PTV

ANTENNA

Unless your LCD Rear PTV is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor 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.

VIEWING

The major benefit of the HITACHI LCD Rear PTV 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 10 to 18 feet from the screen. Picture brightness decreases as the viewer moves to the left and right of the receiver.

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.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1.Since LCD Rear PTV incorporates a high pressure lamp to display an image, it may take about one minute for the picture to become stable, after the power has been turned on. After extended use, the picture may darken, the color may look unusual, or the lamp “goes out,” (burns out). You may hear a “pop” sound when the lamp “goes out.” These are common characteristics of the lamp, and should not be considered defective.

2.LCD Rear PTV incorporates an advanced cooling fan system to prevent from overheating. If you hear the cooling fan, it should not be considered defective.

3.If you hear a “cracking” sound from the TV cabinet, it is due to the TV’s cabinet expanding and contracting due to room temperature changes. It has no effect on the TV’s functions.

4.The LCD Rear PTV cabinet is constructed with all plastic. Make sure to place it on a flat surface. An uneven surface might warp the cabinet and reduce the picture quality.

NOTES: 1. Completely insert the connection cord plugs when connecting to rear panel jacks. The picture and sound that is played back will be abnormal if the connection is loose.

2.The DVI-HDTV input on INPUT 1 contains the copy protection system called High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). HDCP is a cryptographic system that encrypts video signals when using DVI connections to prevent illegal copying of video contents.

3.DVI is not a “NETWORK” technology. It establishes a one-way point-to-point connection for delivery of uncompressed video to a display.

4.The connected digital output device controls the DVI interface so proper set-up of device user settings determines final video appearance.

CONNECTING AV NETWORK

FIRST TIME USE

Your Hitachi LCD TV 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 TV Remote Control. You can use your Hitachi remote control to control the Audio/Video equipment command without the equipment’s remote control.

The 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 Television with up to four components and control them with the TV remote control. Please see the following example of an AV Network setup between your Hitachi LCD TV and external Audio/Video equipment (VCR and DVD Player).

CONNECTING EXTERNAL AUDIO/VIDEO COMPONENTS TO IR BLASTER FOR AV NETWORK
