HOW TO INSTALL BATTERIES
1. Open the battery compartment cover.
2. Install two “AAA” batteries (supplied).
3. Replace the battery compartment cover.
Before using the remote control, batteries must first be installed.
Use two “AAA” size batteries. The batteries may last approximately
one year depending on how much the remote control is used.
For best performance, it is recommended that batteries should
be replaced on a yearly basis, or when the remote operation
becomes erratic. Do not mix old and new batteries or different
types.
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
These precautions should be followed when using batteries in this
device:
Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries
as indicated in the battery compartment. Reversed batteries
may cause damage to the device.
Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g. Alkaline and
Carbon-zinc) or old batteries with fresh ones.
If the device is not to be used for a long period of time, remove
the batteries to prevent damage or injury from possible battery
leakage.
Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged;
they can overheat and rupture. (Follow battery manufacturer’s
directions.)
Please use caution when inserting batteries to avoid battery
damage. If the spring terminal in the remote control remains in
contact with a side of a damaged battery it can cause a short
circuit. Never use damaged batteries as they can become very
hot and are dangerous.

Antenna connections
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The nationwide switch to digital television broadcasting will be complete on June 12, 2009, but your local television stations may switch sooner. After
the switch, analog-only television sets that receive TV programming through an antenna will need a converter box to continue to receive over-the-air
TV. Watch your local stations to find out when they will turn off their analog signal and switch to digital-only broadcasting.
Information about the DTV transition is available from your local television stations, www.DTV.gov, or 1-888-CALL-FCC (TTY 1-888-TELL-FCC), and
www.dtv2009. gov or 1-888-DTV-2009 (TTY 1-877-530-2634) for information about subsidized coupons for digital-to-analog converter boxes.
Please review this Operating Guide for further information regarding such connections.
Hitachi supports the DTV transition and as a member of the DTV Transition Coalition urges consumers to visit these web sites for interactive guides
and further detailed information:

If you are using an indoor or outdoor antenna, follow the instructions below that correspond to your antenna system. If you
are using a Cable TV service, see Cable TV connections.

Connect the 75 ohm cable from the combination VHF/UHF antenna to the antenna jack.
75ohm

Antenna
Jack
Cable TV connections
For basic Cable TV service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the
75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the Antenna Jack on the back of the TV.
For subscribers to scrambled Cable TV service
If you subscribe to a Cable TV service which requires the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the incoming 75 ohm Coaxial
Cable to the Converter/Descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm Coaxial Cable, connect the output jack of the Converter/Descrambler
box to the Antenna Jack on the TV. Follow the connections shown below. Set the TV to the output channel of the Converter/Descrambler
box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.
For subscribers to unscrambled Cable TV service with scrambled premium channels
If you subscribe to a Cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a Converter/
Descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal Splitter and an A/B Switch box (available from the Cable TV company or an electronics
supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the “B” position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels
on your TV. With the switch in the “A” position, tune your TV to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and
use the Converter/Descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.
This TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV Converter box. Some
cable companies offer “premium pay channels” where the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal
viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the Cable TV company.
