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

During daylight hours, reflections from outside light may appear on the screen. If so, drapes

screen. 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

No. Items Notes

1 Arching sound from 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 panel, is normal and it is not a malfunction.

2 Interference for infrared Some infrared rays are emitted from the plasma display monitor's panel that might affect other

equipment, infrared controlling equipment.

3 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 perphery, 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.

that this is not a malfunction. The Plasma TV surface temperature is higher than a Cathode-ray-tube.

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.

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.

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.

CONNECTING AJV NETWORK

.===J=.J.==-

Your Hitachi Plasma Television is equiped with an AN 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 AN Network setup between your Hitachi Plasma Television and external Audio/Video equipment (VCR and DVD Player).

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

1. Connect your external Audio/Video components to the AVC Center shown on pages 13-18.

2. Connect the IR Mouse cable to the IR BLASTER output of the AVC Center.

3. Place the IR mouse in front of the infrared sensor of the external components you wish to control.

TiPSONREARPANELCONNECTIONS

S-VIDEO 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 22). 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 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-CBC R. 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 43)

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

Input 1 can accept component Y-PBPR signal only. Input 2 can accept both component Y-PBPR and composite video signal.

You may use VIDEO or S-VIDEO inputs to connect to INPUT 3, 4 or 5, but only one of these, VIDEO or S-VIDEO, may be used at a time for each input. S-VIDEO has priority over VIDEO.

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