ANTENNA

Unless your LCD 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.

When installing your LCD TV against a wall, keep it at least 10 cm (4 inches) from the wall.

A buzzing sound might be heard when the LCD display monitor is turned on in a very quiet
room. This is due to the LCD panel drive circuit when it is functioning. This arching sound
is normal and it is not a malfunction.

Some infrared rays are emitted from the LCD display monitor’s panel that might affect other
infrared controlling equipment.

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.

The LCD panel is made from glass. Heavy shock on the front panel might damage it.

When the LCD 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 LCD 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.

When a screen is seen at point-blank range, a random fine grain may be visible to a dark part.

If an apparatus (VCR, etc.) antenna line is arranged near the monitor, the image may shake,
or disturbance may be received.

There is some time lag betweeen the picture and the sound. You can see lip motion that is
delayed compared to the sound.

Storing the LCD television for a period of more than 2 to 3 months without use might cause
an unstable picture when the set is turned on.

Operating altitude: 800 to 1,114hPa (6,194ft to -2,484ft). Operating temperature: 41˚F to 95˚F.
Avoid operating the LCD TV below 41˚F LCD response speed may slow down when operating
at these temperatures. This is a normal operating characteristic of the LCD monitor.

Storage Altitude: 300 to 1,114hPa (31,912ft to -2,484ft). Storage temperature: 5˚F to 140˚F.

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.

IMPORTANT NOTES

VIEWING

The major benefit of the HITACHI LCD 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.

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.

• COMPONENT: Y-PBPR (Input 1 & 2) connections are provided for high performance components, such as DVD players and set­top-boxes. Use these connections in place of the standard video connection if your device has this feature.

FIRST TIME USE

• 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 PBinput
and the components R-Y output to the TV’s PRinput.

• Your component outputs may be labeled Y-CBCR. In this case, connect the components CBoutput to the TV’s PBinput and the
components CRoutput to the TV’s PRinput.

• It may be necessary to adjust TINT to obtain optimum picture quality when using the Y-PBPRinputs. (See page 54)

• To ensure no copyright infringement, the MONITOR OUT output will be abnormal, when using the
jacks.

• Input 1 or 2 can accept HDMI signal.

• Input 1 or 2 can accept both component and composite video signal.

• S-VIDEO monitor output may be used for recording only when the input is of S-VIDEO type.

• When using a DVI or HDMI input from a Set-Top-Box, it is recommended to use a 1080i or 720p input signal.

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.

background colors.

NOTE: When using Component or DVI-HDTV input, Auto Color will not be available (grayed out).

Noise Reduction

Auto Movie Mode

The NOISE REDUCTION function automatically reduces conspicuous noise in the picture without
degrading picture quality. Set NOISE REDUCTION to OFF if the TV experiences picture blocking.

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 LCD 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.

2. All Video settings are independent of each other based on it’s input (ANT A/B, Input 1~5, Photo Input).

CARE OF YOUR HITACHI LCD 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 LCD Television away from extreme heat, humidity, and extremely dusty places.

Remove the plug (AVC Center/Display Monitor) from the wall outlet if your LCD 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 LCD 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 LCD 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.

NOTE: The TV set can generate sound distortion in external devices such as a radio. Please separate radio equipment

from the TV set to a considerable distance.
