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.

Antenna Connections

CAUTION:

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

FM outdoor antenna (not supplied)

AM loop antenna

Antenna discharge unit (not supplied)

FM indoor antenna lead wire

FM 75Ω

75-ohm coaxial cable

LOOP

(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.

Interlaced scanning
