introduction
Dear HITACHI customer
Congratulations on your purchase of the very latest state of the art digital
technology. At Hitachi we pride ourselves on producing high quality digital
Hitachi’s reputation for superior reliability. You should enjoy many years of
trouble free operation from your TV. Take some time to read this Users Guide
thoroughly, and if you encounter any difficulty, firstly refer to the Trouble
Shooting Guide at the rear of this manual. In the unlikely event of a problem
occurring with your TV, contact your dealer immediately.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND SOUND*
Dolby Pro Logic Surround Sound is the domestic version of Cinema Dolby
stereo sound, and allows the viewer to enjoy full cinematic sound quality when
watching films or events recorded in Dolby Surround. The surround channels
reinforce the stereo image, allowing front to rear sound movements (such as
overhead aircraft effects) which immerses the viewer in ambience and special
effects. In addition to this, the Pro Logic circuitry is able to create a centre
channel - this anchors dialogue and central sounds to the screen so that
speech does not become disembodied or lost in sound effects.
Dolby Pro Logic together with Hitachi's unique 3DS Spatial Sound system will allow you to enjoy the full Cinema Sound in your own home. In addition to this your Hitachi TV has full expansion sockets to accommodate optional speaker
systems, so you can set up your listening area to match your most exacting
audio demands and aesthetic preferences. These features along with
outstanding picture quality and of course our reputation for superior reliability
will continually reward your decision for choosing HITACHI.

This television has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards, but like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured - so please read this users guide before you attempt to install and use this equipment.
DO NOT cut off fitted mains plug as it may contain a special radio interference filter, the
removal of which could lead to impaired performance. If you wish to extend the lead, obtain an appropriate extension lead or consult your dealer.
DO NOT continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally or if it is damaged in any way - switch off, take out the wall socket plug and consult your dealer.
IF you intend placing this TV into a cabinet or a wall alcove, please ensure there is at least a 100mm (10cm) gap to the sides, rear and top of the TV. This is to allow for adequate ventilation during your TV's operation.
DO NOT leave unattended equipment switched on unless it is stated that it is designed to do so. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and show your family how to do this. Make special arrangements for infirm and handicapped people.
DO NOT obstruct the ventilation of equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings, or place your TV onto a carpet during operation which could also obstruct ventilation. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the lifespan of your equipment.
DO NOT use makeshift stands and never fix legs or stands to the TV with any screws other than those provided - to ensure complete safety always use the manufacturers approved stand with the fixings provided.
DO NOT allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture, or place any water filled vessels on top of your TV.
NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots, or any other opening in the TV - this could result in a fatal shock.
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind - it is better to be safe than sorry.
DO be careful with any glass panels or doors on equipment.
DO consult your dealer if you are in any doubt about installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
DO place your TV on a flat surface, or if supplied, the stand accessory.
DO NOT remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DO observe the manufacturer’s instructions when connecting extension leads to your TV.
The fuse should be a 5 Amp fuse with the safety symbols and displayed. If you are in any doubt about the extension installation please consult a competent electrician.

It is recommended that the RF (aerial) leads which connects external equipment to your TV -
and the actual aerial lead itself - should be of the highest quality. This will reduce interferance
and produce better picture quality and recordings. You can consult your dealer on this matter.

This will be lit when your TV is on and when in standby mode. It will flash
when a function
from your remote control
is being sent to the TV, or
the modem is in use. When the TV is placed in ‘active’ standby mode or
recording events, the
colour will be orange (see
pages 20 and 41).
This is for
reading commands
sent from your remote
control handset.
Use this to switch your TV on and off (when switched off by using this
button your TV consumes no
power - unlike when in
standby mode).
To use the controls push the door in and release.

camcorder
Connecting a camcorder
to your TV is easy. First, identify
the type of camcorder and its
connecting sockets. If it is a
standard 8mm type camera then
this is likely to have 'RCA' type
sockets. If you have a S-VHS or
Hi8 camera you may have a S-
VHS socket. Open the front
control panel door and connect
your equipment as detailed here.
Switch your TV on and press the
TV/AV button on your

This serial port will connect
directly to external
equipment in future
developments.
To take advantage of
the modem and future
services you will require a
modem lead
(431A plug to RJ11 plug)
and a dual outlet adaptor to
connect to your existing phone
socket. Details on how to
connect the equipment are
given in modem set up
on page 42.
NOTE: Your Hitachi TV with
modem has what is called a
Ringer Equivalence Number
(REN). This is shown on a label
fitted on the back cover near
the scart sockets. With
external equipment this
modem socket is connected to
a telephone line. It is possible
that along with your modem
there will be other
communications equipment
(each of which will have its
own REN number)connected
to the telephone line. Each
piece of connected equipment
should remain operational
providing the total sum of all
the REN numbers is no greater
than 4.

important note on VCR and satellite
Do not switch your TV on until all external equipment is connected. If you have a Video
Cassette Recorder or a Satellite receiver connected to this TV please ensure that they
are switched on before automatic tuning begins. In the case of a VCR, insert a
pre-recorded tape and begin playback of your equipment. With a Satellite receiver select
Sky News. These measures ensure that all your external equipment is tuned in during
the autotune procedure.
Your TV will now search through the digital
frequencies. It stores them in the DIGITAL
ORGANISER as it finds each digital program.

To make your program tuning easier, HITACHI have
installed an automatic tuning procedure to find the digital and analogue programs. Switch your TV on.
If you are satisfied all external equipment has been
connected, you can begin AUTOTUNE. It is
recommended that both analogue and digital are
stored at the same time, so press button ‘1’ on
your handset and AUTOTUNE will begin
- firstly the analogue search.

Your TV will now search through the
analogue frequencies, listing them into the
following order -
0.Video 1.BBC1, 2.BBC2, 3.ITV 4.CH4/S4C,
5.CH5 (subject to availability) 6.Satellite.
