Introduction

Dear HITACHI customer

Congratulations on your purchase of the very latest ‘state of the art’ television from

HITACHI. At Hitachi we pride ourselves on producing high quality televisions with

outstanding picture and audio capabilities. Together with our reputation for superior

reliability, you should enjoy many years of trouble free operation from your TV.

...notes on digital sound

Your Hitachi television is capable of decoding advanced forms of digital audio (such as

Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG and PCM) coding that makes it possible to reproduce high-quality

digital sound. Being the next step forward from analogue sound, digital sounds sonic realism

and listener involvement will change the way you experience sound from your Hitachi television. Digital sound works by delivering at maximum 5 separate audio channels - left, right, centre, left surround, right surround and also a LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel.

These independent channels allow for a more precise localisation of sounds and a more

convincing, realistic ambience.

Important

Please read this Users Guide thoroughly, especially the Safety Notes

on Page 4. Mis-use may cause damage to your television, which could

Never guess or take any chances with electrical equipment

of any kind - it is better to be safe than sorry!

...notes on VCR recording

Although we recommend you turn OFF your TV at the mains whenever it is not in use, this TV is

designed to be left in Standby mode to enable analogue VCR recording. Should you switch off the TV,

this will not be possible, therefore, when you wish to make a recording, please place the TV in Standby

mode using the remote control handset (see handset operation section).

Television Safety

Safety Aspects

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.

DO NOT cut off the 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, withdraw the mains 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 equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a stand-by mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and show your family how to do this. Make special arrangements for infirm or handicapped people.

DO NOT obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the lifespan of your equipment.

DO NOT use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws - to ensure complete safety, always fit the manufacturers approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

DO NOT allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots, or any other opening in the case - this could result in a fatal electrical shock. Under NO circumstances remove the rear cover of your TV!

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 ensure that all connections, (including the mains plug, extension leads and inter-connections

between the pieces of equipment), are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug before making or changing connections.

DO NOT listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.

DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.

DO NOT use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the

requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

DO NOT place hot objects such as candles or nightlights on, or close to, equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to fires.

DO observe the manufacturers 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.

DO NOT place objects filled with liquids, e.g. a vase, on, or close to the equipment, to avoid spillages into the inside of the apparatus.

SHOULD you require to replace the fuse in the moulded plug with a new fuse, then please replace with one of the same value, type and approval as the original. Ensure the fuse cover is returned to its original position.

TO prevent scratching or damaging the tube face, do not knock or rub the surface with sharp or hard objects. Clean the screen with a soft cloth moistened with warm water and dry with a sof t cloth. A mild soap may be used if the screen is extremely dirty. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners!

Digital Logical Channel Number Orders

Logical Channel Numbers (LCN) are provided by broadcasters (e.g. BBC/ONdigital etc), to

make it easier to find desired TV programmes. They are referred to in magazines, newspapers and during TV adverts. So with this feature available, your TV services will now be stored in the order found in these publications after you use “installation” or “add new ser vices”.

The Logical Channel Numbers defined by the broadcasters are shown in the table below, and your TV will tune them in this order. If more than two regional services are found, the one which is strongest among the same service names is stored in the LCN. The other services are allocated to other numbers which you can confirm in the “Digital TV Guide” or the “Digital Programme Swap” and ”Digital Programme Delete” sections. The order of services selected by up/down key can be re-arranged by your preference in the “DIGITAL ORGANISER” menu, although the Logical Channel Number itself cannot be changed. To select the service you desire, enter the LCN number on the handset directly.

Note: You can find out how to operate the “Add New Services” (in the “Digital Install” menu - Digital Autotune section), “DIGITAL TUNING” and the “DIGITAL ORGANISER” menu in the relevant sections

of this User Guide.

DVD, CD & Laserdisc

Connection

...notes on disc playing equipment

The Audio Visual output of a Digital Versatile Disc, Compact Disc, or laser disc can be

connected to any of the 3 Audio Visual sockets of your TV, but for better quality it is recommended

that they are connected to either scart sockets AV1 or AV2.

If digital Audio, such as PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG multichannel is to be employed, a special

connection will need to be made to your television. You have a choice of two formats when

connecting this type of equipment - an optical connection or a co-axial connection.

Only one connection should be made - if both the optical an co-axial

formats are connected, the optical link will take priority.

scart leads are an optional extra*

Disc playing equipment

(this should be plugged

into a mains socket)

Remove the dust covers from the optical output of the external disc player you wish

to connect to your television.

Store these in a safe place.

Using a special optical lead

available from high street retailers make the connection between the two points. You are

now ready to view the contents of your chosen disc.

optical connection

If the coaxial connection is to be used, connect a 75 phono cable between

the coaxial output of your Digital Versatile Disc, Compact Disc or laser Disc and the

coaxial input of your television.

co-axial connection

television co-axial

and optical

connections

The Dolby Digital RF output of a laserdisc player cannot be

connected to the digital audio input directly. Please obtain an RF

demodulator from an electrical retailer. When using a Laserdisc

player in conjunction with an RF digital demodulator, ‘popping’

may occur while carrying out various search operations with the

player.

Use the UP/DOWN cursor keys to select

AV to adjust.

Adjust chosen AV by using the

LEFT/RIGHT cursor buttons.

Once highlighted, accept selection.

The AV SETUP menu is used as a means of instructing your television to recognise what

external equipment is being connected to your TV’s scart, S-VHS and/or phono sockets. If you have

any equipment connected to your TV (either permanently, like a VCR, or temporary, like a

camcorder) it is important that your TV recognises which kind of equipment

is connected. For VCR’s, camcorders and LaserDiscs the appropriate AV

VCR mode should be set to ON in the menu. This helps to provide a steady

picture when playing back a recorded picture. If an S-VHS or Hi8 piece of

equipment is to be used, these should be connected to either AV1 or AV3.

...notes on signal source entry * Analogue Mode only

Each piece of external equipment connected to your TV must have its own input socket. It

would also be easier, and more organised, if the external equipment connected also had its own

programme number.

Signal Source entry allows us to tell the allocated programme what equipment is

connected to which socket.

This would make the switching between normal operation and the

connected equipment much smoother.

For example, if you want to connect a games machine to your TV -

1. connect to socket AV2 via a scart lead.

2. give your games machine an empty programme number of its own.

3. if desired change this programme name.

4. give this channel the correct AV programme source (in this case AV2).

This is the decode mode for a digital signal encoded by PCM. This is a two channel audio source which may, or may not be encoded in Dolby Pro Logic - its encoding depends on the source material. It can be regarded as a better quality version of the left and right analogue audio signals heard from your TV through a scart input connection. This format is used for standard Audio CD’s.

This is the decode mode for a digital signal encoded by Dolby Digital. This is capable of delivering a maximum of 5 main channels (left, right, surround left, surround right and centre) and a Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel. Your television takes advantage of data on the disc to tell you the number of different channels available on the decoded track

...notes on speaker setup

The Speaker Setup menu allows you to customise the televisions audio performance to your

own requirements. These requirements might be the use of external amplifiers on one or more sound

channels, or to use alternative speakers. This menu can help you organise

the bass (or ‘boom’) re-direction by specifying whether large, small or no

speaker at all has been connected. Whatever your choice, this menu allows

for greater flexibility and ultimately an improved sound performance.

sound sequencer

The sound sequencer is automatic when entering the Speaker Setup menu. This relays

sound in sequence amongst the available output channels. From this you can judge what speaker

volume has to be adjusted so you get the impression you are sitting within the centre of the

sound.

Sub-Woofer Volume

The sub woofer channel carries the Bass or ‘Boom’ sound effect information.

If you have one connected, use this control to adjust your sub-woofers volume.

Centre Delay

If your environment is set up in such a way that external speakers (if connected) are behind your

television, increase the Centre Delay so that the sound from external speakers and your TV’s centre

speaker arrive at your seating position at the same time, ensuring no drop in sound quality.

Please Note:

For approximately each 30cm that your external speakers are placed behind your TV

the Centre Delay value should increase by 1ms - see diagram below.

...notes on seating position

The seating position control accommodates the position of the speakers with regard to your

seating position, and so further creates an atmosphere where improved sound qualities are obtained

from your TV.

• If you are seated near the front speakers, adjust the seating position to FRONT.

• If you are seated between the front and rear speakers, but closer to the front speakers, adjust the seating position to MID FRONT.

• If you are seated between the front and rear speakers, but closer to the rear speakers, adjust the seating position to MID REAR.

• If you are seated at a position close to the rear speakers, adjust the seating position to REAR.

...notes on digital audio setup

The Digital Audio Setup menu allows you to control the sound output of any external equipment you have connected through the Audio Visual sockets. For example, if the connection from your

external equipment to the television is via AV1, the Digital Audio source should be set as AV1.

When listening to a Dolby Digital source with the television sound mode set to Dolby Digital

this control allows you to take advantage of special codes stored on the disc to reduce, or increase

sound effects.

as explosions or screams

Standard is the normal listening mode. It does not make full use of your televisions dynamic range,

but is a good compromise for all day viewing/listening.

Night mode allows the audio to be reproduced in such a way that the impact of soundtrack

extremes (such as explosions) are reduced while quiet passages are ‘boosted’, allowing all the audio

information to be heard at a low volume level. As it’s name suggests, this mode is

intended for nightime viewing.

...notes on aspect ratios for external equipment

Laserdisc and videotape players will normally provide either a full 4:3 or letterbox widescreen

format picture with black bands at the top and bottom. For viewing such widescreen picture formats,

Hitachi recommend the C16:9L mode. DVD players will normally give an option of either 4:3 or 16:9 output mode (dependent on player and software - please refer to player instructions) For a full 16:9

picture, Hitachi recommend using the 16:9 mode.

Note:

Your TV will automatically switch to 16:9 mode when it receives a true 16:9 Wide Screen Signal

through the external RF aerial or external AV sockets. You can override this change by pressing the

16:9 button on your handset to switch to the desired aspect ratio.

...notes on wide screen features

Various broadcast services now transmit movies and programmes in true wide screen format. Your TV can detect these signals and automatically switch to the correct format (when in AUTO mode).

However, some broadcasters do not transmit this automatic sensing

signal, and so your TV will not recognise which format is being

transmitted. This situation can be overcome by simply pressing the

...notes on Default Zoom

Various broadcast stations now transmit WSS (Wide Screen Signals) which identifies the picture format

movies and programmes are broadcast in. Your TV can detect these Wide Screen Signals and automatically

switches your TV to the correct format (when in AUTO mode). However, some broadcasters do not transmit this

WSS, and so your TV will not recognise which format is being transmitted. Therefore, DEFAULT ZOOM is used to

choose your picture requirements when a Wide Screen Signal has not been sent or has not been detected.

...notes on Default 4:3

If your TV is receiving a 4:3 Wide Screen Signal, the viewing format displayed can be set using the default 4:3 .

...notes Auto WS Detect

Auto Wide Screen Detect, when switched ON (and there is no WSS signal) enables your TV to look for the

black bands at the top and bottom of the broadcast received and expands the picture in the appropriate aspect

ratio. If this is set to ‘OFF’, these black bands cannot be detected. Therefore the picture format will revert to the

setting specified in the DEFAULT ZOOM option if there is no WSS signal.

When watching some programmes with Auto WS Detect ON, the C16:9L mode may result in unnecessary

cropping at the top and bottom of the picture resulting in lost subtitles etc. To overcome this, please use the 16:9

or subtitle button on your handset.

When using external equipment with on-screen displays, incorrect operation of the Auto WS switching may occur

while performing certain operations. For example, while watching a 16:9 cinema scope format film on a DVD player, pressing the pause button may result in the TV switching from the C16:9L mode to the default zoom.

Visual forward and rewind operations may result in similar results. This action will also show your DVD players

software menus on your television screen. This is normal operation.

Note: If you can see the screen format changing frequently after setting to ‘ON’ mode, set Auto WS Detect option

to ‘OFF’ to stay at one fixed aspect ratio.

standard 50Hz picture

In a standard 50Hz television the picture is created in two separate stages. For example, scan lines 1, 3, and

5 etc. are filled in first. Once this stage is complete scan lines 2, 4, and 6 etc. are filled. This means that after

these two stages all the lines on your television screen have been filled (625 in total) resulting in a complete

frame. This process is then repeated creating the picture you see on the screen of a conventional TV.

Note: a standard 50Hz picture is not available on your model

Progressive Scan

first stage

second stage

Hitachi’s Progressive Scan TV’s are constantly thinking ahead, filling in all the 625 scan lines in one

go to make up a complete frame. This progressive addition of extra line information produces a

picture that is brighter, more detailed than conventional televisions and displays the picture without

the line ‘flicker’ of ten associated with 50Hz sets.

100Hz Natural Scan

Our 100Hz TV’s create double the number of images per second,

compared to a conventional 50Hz set. This delivers sharper, clearer, more

stable total pictures which are flicker free. Our 100Hz sets also feature

“Natural Scan” technology. This process eliminates the slight trembling of

lines on the picture that is visible on conventional TV sets giving a rock

steady picture which is clear and detailed.

channel 2 of the NICAM stereo broadcast carry completely separate information i.e. soundtracks in two different languages for a movie. A dual language broadcast is denoted by a symbol

( or ) in the top right hand corner of the screen. This can

be seen on first entry to the channel by pressing the INFO

button on your handset.

The user can select which of the two is heard through both the

left and right television speakers by using the button on

your handset. In the case of a NICAM dual language broadcast,

this will also allow the mono FM broadcast to be selected.

...notes on modem

The modem hardware built into your Hitachi digital television, with the addition of external cables (not

supplied) allows you to interact with your TV. In conjunction with the card slots at the rear of the TV this will

offer you future services such as home shopping, banking facilities, sports events and home premieres.To

access these facilities a

modem lead

and

adaptor

must be purchased. This lead will have two plugs - a

RJ11 plug for connection to your TV

, and a

431A plug which is connected to your existing

telephone line

(with the help of an adaptor - see illustration below).

Follow the instructions below on how to set up your modem to obtain these future services.

1. Only use this equipment as a modem connected to your Public Switched Telephone Network - any other usage will invalidate the UK BABT Approval of your TV’s modem.

2. Do not connect this modem to a shared service, or use it as an extension to a pay phone or connect it to one.

3. Each piece of connected equipment should remain operational providing the total sum of the REN numbers is no greater than 4

(This TV has an REN value of 1)
