SAFETY CERTIFICATION
This unit is made and tested to meet exacting safety
standards. It meets UL, CSA and FCC requirements and
complies with safety performance standards of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services.
CAUTION - USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS
OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN
THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.
THIS UNIT SHOULD NOT BE ADJUSTED OR REPAIRED
BY ANYONE EXCEPT PROPERLY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
FCC INFORMATION
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
CAUTION:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Hitachi
may void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
THIS CLASS B DIGITAL APPARATUS MEETS ALL
REQUIREMENTS OF THE CANADIAN INTERFERENCECAUSING EQUIPMENT REGULATIONS.
FOR SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION
•Do not damage the power cord.
•When not in use, disconnect the power cord from the outlet.
Grasp the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting the unit.
•If water should enter the unit, electrical shock or a malfunction
may result. Use in an area where there is low humidity and
little dust.
•Do not disassemble or alter the unit in any way.
•Do not use the unit in areas where extremes in temperature
occur (below 40°F (5°C) or exceeding 95°F (35°C)), or where
it may be exposed to direct sunlight.
•Because of the DVD video player extremely low noise and
wide dynamic range, there is a tendency to set the volume on
the amplifier higher than necessary. Doing so may produce
an excessively high output from the amplifier which can
cause damage to your speakers. Please be careful in this
regard.
•Sudden changes in the surrounding temperature can cause
dew to form on the optical pickup lens inside the unit. Under
this condition the unit may be unable to operate properly. If
this should occur, remove the disc and allow the unit to adjust
to the surrounding temperature.
•When carrying the unit, be sure to remove a disc which
may be inside and turn the power off. Then unplug the
power cord from the AC outlet after 10 seconds. Carrying
the unit with a disc inside may damage the disc and/or
the unit.
Do not subject the unit to vibrations or physical shock, such as
dropping. If playback has stopped for these reasons,
1. Press the POWER/STANDBY button to turn the power off.
2. Wait for at least 10 seconds.
3. Press the POWER/STANDBY button again to turn the power
on.
CAUTION:
Placing the unit in a well ventilated area is strongly
recommended.
Do not place any object on the top of the unit.
Do not block ventilation holes.
The cabinet of the unit warms up when it is used for a long time,
but it is not a malfunction.
Press [q OPEN/CLOSE] on the unit when closing the disc tray.
Do not push the disc tray.
WHAT TO DO IF...
If the operation of the unit or display is not normal, even
though the appropriate buttons have been pressed.
1. Disconnect the power cord.
2. While pressing both BASS and SOUND buttons at the same
time, connect the power cord.
“RESET” briefly appears on the display.
3. Press the desired function button.
Note:
If the unit still does not operate correctly, please contact your
nearest Hitachi Authorized Service Facility.

When installing an outdoor antenna, follow the installation
instructions in the attached “IMPORTANT SAFETY

(not supplied)
FM antenna
The FM indoor antenna lead wire is sufficient to receive most
local FM broadcasts and should be connected to the rear FM
75Ω terminal. Extend the antenna lead wire as straight as possible
and, while listening to the sound from the system, secure it in a
position where the best FM reception is found.
In fringe areas, or where reception is distorted or noisy, an FM
outdoor antenna (not supplied) should be connected instead of
the FM indoor antenna lead wire. The terminals will accept 75ohm coaxial cable.
AM antenna
The AM loop antenna is sufficient to
receive most local AM broadcasts.
Assemble the loop antenna.
Unwind the antenna wires, then
connect them to the AM LOOP
terminals. Place the loop antenna in a
position which yields the best AM
reception, or attach it to a wall or other
surface as shown.
NOTE:
To minimize noise...
•Keep the speaker wires, power cord and all other system
connection cables away from the loop antenna.
•Do not place the antenna close to a TV or speaker.
Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s
attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides guidelines
for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable
ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the
building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Progressive Scanning
While interlaced scanning produces one frame of video in two
fields, progressive scanning creates one frame in one field.
Conventional interlaced scanning constitutes one second with
30 frames (60 fields), but progressive scanning constitutes it with
60 frames from scratch. Progressive scanning can reproduce
sharper picture with high resolution for still image or other picture
containing long texts or horizontal lines.
This model has compliance with 525p (progressive) system.
