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 benet to you. Please read it carefully and apply the knowledge you obtain

from it to the proper operation of your Hitachi Audio Video Center.

Please ll 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. Model and serial numbers are indicated
underneath the product.

READ BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT

Follow all warnings and instructions marked on this Audio
Video Center.

Read these instructions.1.
Keep these instructions.2.
Heed all warnings.3.
Follow all instructions.4.
Do not use this apparatus near water.5.
Clean only with a dry cloth.6.
Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in 7.
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, 8.
heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including

ampliers) that produce heat.

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or 9.
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 t into your

outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
Protect the power cord from being walked on 10.
or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
apparatus.
Only use the attachments/accessories specied by 11.
the manufacturer.
Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, 12.

bracket, or table specied 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.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or 13.
when unused for long periods of time.
Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. 14.
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 the apparatus, the apparatus has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.

The lightning ash 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 sufcient

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.

Monitors, Televisions and Audio Video Centers are 15.
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.
Follow instructions for wall, shelf or ceiling mounting 16.
as recommended by the manufacturer.
An outdoor antenna should not be located in the vicinity 17.
of overhead power lines or other electrical circuits.
If an outside antenna is connected to the A/V Center 18.
and the monitor be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built up static charges. Section
810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.
70-1984, provides information with respect to proper
grounding for the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes
and requirements for the grounding electrode.

To the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to
call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-44
of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding

and, in particular, species that the cable ground shall

be connected to the grounding system of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Unless your A/V Center 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 sufcient.

infrequent, discreet, of low intensity and will show the consequences of the acts. Other Content Guidelines: There will
be no profanity, nudity or sexual content.

G General Audience - Violence Guidelines: Will contain very little violence, either physical or verbal or emotional. Will be

sensitive to themes which could frighten a younger child, will not depict realistic scenes of violence which minimize or

G General - Programming intended for audiences of all ages. Contains no violence, or the violence content is minimal

or is depicted appropriately with humor or caricature or in an unrealistic manner.

8 ans+ 8 + General - Not recommended for young children - Programming intended for a broad audience but contains light

13 ans+ Programming may not be suitable for children under the age of 13 - Contains either a few violent scenes or one or

more sufciently violent scenes to affect them. Viewing with an adult is therefore strongly recommended for children

TROUBLESHOOTING

About LCD Display Technology

The following are common phenomena occurring when viewing LCD display devices due to its characteristics.
Please note that these are not malfunctions.

Defective Spots on Panel

The LCD panel is manufactured with high-precision technology. However, there might be some spots that are not
illuminated, or are brighter than others, or are in different colors, etc.

Surface on Panel

The LCD panel displays images by the uorescent lamps internally. This can raise the temperature of the display

surface.
In addition, do not allow any heavy impact to the front of the panel because the LCD panel is made of high precision
glass.

Use Under Low Temperature Conditions

Because of the structural characteristics of the LCD panel, the response speed of the LCD panel becomes slower
when the ambient temperature becomes too low. In some cases, this may result in a residual image.
The residual image will disappear of its own accord as the temperature rises again to a normal level.

Before calling a service technician, check the following tables rst. If the problem cannot be solved with the

suggested procedures, contact 800-HITACHI. For your safety, NEVER try to repair the product yourself.
