Important Safety Instructions
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER
SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The lightning flash 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 sufficient
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.
READ BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
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 fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table specified 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.
13.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 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 apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. Grounding or Polarization- This product may be equipped
with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug. Alternate Warnings This product is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type
plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will
only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
16.
Ventilation- Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided
for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product
and to protect if from overheating, and these openings must
not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be
blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar surface. This product should not be placed in a
built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper
ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions
have been adhered to.
17.
The MAINS plug or an appliance couple is used as the
disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain
readily operable.
18.Televisions are 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.
19. Follow instructions for wall, shelf or ceiling mounting as
recommended by the manufacturer.
20. An outdoor antenna should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electrical circuits.
21. If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver 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.
NEC National Electric Code
Note 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, 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.
End of life directives: Your new TV contains materials which can
be recycled and reused. At the end of your TV’s life, specialized
companies can dismantle the discarded TV to concentrate the
reusable materials and to minimize the amount of materials to
be disposed of. Dispose of your old TV according to local

THE ISSUE
The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger ÀDW•
displays are popular purchases. However, ÀDW panel displays are not always
supported on the proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Flat Panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases,•
shelves, desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over and cause injury.
HITACHI CARES!
The consumer electronics industry is commited to making home entertainment•
enjoyable and safe.
TUNE INTO SAFETY
One size does NOT ¿W all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for•
WKHVDIHLQVWDOODWLRQDQGXVHRI\RXUÀDWSDQHOGLVSODy.
Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of•
this product.
Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.•
Don’t place ÀDW panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps,•
such as a chest of drawers.
Remember that children can become excited while watching a program,•
especially on a “larger than life” ÀDW panel display. Care should be taken
to place or install the display where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or
knocked down.
Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the ÀDW•
panel display so that they cannot be pulled or grabed by curious children.
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL
MOUNT YOUR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:
Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer•
and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).
Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount•
manufacturers.
If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your ÀDW panel•
display, contact your retailer about professional installation.
Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate.•
Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls with steel studs
or old cinder block construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional
installer.
A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays•
can be heavy.
