HITACHI CARES!
• The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home
entertainment enjoyable and safe.
• Please note the American Academy of Pediatrics discourages television
viewing for children younger than two years of age.
• The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and
larger at displays are popular purchases. However, at 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 dresser,
bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chest or carts may fall over and
cause injury.
TUNE INTO SAFETY
• One size does NOT t all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations
for the safe installation and use of your at panel display.
• 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 at 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” at 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 at
panel display so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed 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 at 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.

Reception Problems
IGNITION NOISE:
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may utter or drift. Usually caused
by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, and other
electrical appliances.
GHOSTS:
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct path
and the other is reected from tall buildings, hills or some other objects. Changing the
direction or position of the antenna may improve reception. Ghosting may also be caused
by defects in the antenna system such as unshielded leads or connecting several sets to
the same antenna without using multiple antenna couplers.
SNOW:
If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where the signal is
weak, your picture may be marred by the appearance of small dots. When the signal is
extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a special antenna to improve the picture.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:
The inter ference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some cases,
causes loss of contrast in the picture.

End User License Agreement For Operating System Software
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
0. Denitions.
“This License” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
“Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works,
such as semiconductor masks.
“The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License.
Each licensee is add ressed as “you”. “Licensees” and “recipients” may be
individuals or organizations.
To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a
fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy.
The resulting work is called a “modied version” of the earlier work or a work “based
on” the earlier work.
A “covered work” means either the unmodied Program or a work based on
the Program.
To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without permission,
would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable
copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy.
Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modication), making
available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well.
To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties
to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer
network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the
extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays
an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty
for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), that licensees
may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.
If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a
prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
1. Source Code.
The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
modications to it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a work.
A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an ofcial standard
dened by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specied for
a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers
working in that language.
The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other than
the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major
Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only
to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard
Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code
form. A “Major Component”, in this context, means a major essential component
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specic operating system (if any) on
which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an
object code interpreter used to run it.
The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the
source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the
object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities.
However, it does not include the work’s System Libraries, or general-purpose tools
or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing
those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding
Source includes interface denition les associated with source les for the work,
and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms
that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data
communication or control ow between those subprograms and other parts of the
work.
The Correspon ding So ur ce need not include anything that users can
regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
2. Basic Permissions.
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright
on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This
License explicitly afrms your unlimited permission to run the unmodied Program.
The output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the
output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges
your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey,
without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may
convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make
modications exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running those
works, provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all
material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or running the
covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted
material outside their relationship with you.
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the
conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; sectio n 10 makes it
unnecessary.
3. Protecting Users’ Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention
Law.
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure
under any applicable law fullling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright
treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting
circumvention of such measures.
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is
effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered work,
and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modication of the work as a
means of enforcing, against the work’s users, your or third parties’ legal rights to
forbid circumvention of technological measures.
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive
it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on
each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that this
License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the
code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients
a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you
may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
5. Conveying Modied Source Versions.
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4,
provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
• a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modied it, and
giving a relevant date.
• b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under
this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement
modies the requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all notices”.
• c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to
anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore
apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole
of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This
License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it
does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
• d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate
Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do
not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not make them do
so.
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works,
which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not
combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage
or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the compilation and its resulting
copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation’s
users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an
aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
You may convey a covered work in object co de form unde r the terms
of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also conv ey the mach in e- readable
Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:
• a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including
a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding
Source xed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software
interchange.
• b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including
a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid
for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or
customer support for that product model, to give anyone who possesses
the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all
the software in the product that is covered by this License, on a durable
physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of
LICENSE AGREEMENTS

source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network
server at no charge.
• c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written
offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed only
occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the object
code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b.
• d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place
(gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding
Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge. You
need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with
the object code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server,
the Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by
you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided
you maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to
find the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available
for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
• e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you
inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source
of the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under
subsection 6d.
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from
the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying
the object code work.
• A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any
tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or
household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
product received by a particular user, “normally used” refers to a typical
or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status of the
particular user or of the way in which the particular user actually uses,
or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer
product regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial,
industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only
signicant mode of use of the product.
“Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods, procedures,
authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified
versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of its
Corresponding Source. The information must sufce to ensure that the continued
functioning of the modied object code is in no case prevented or interfered with
solely because modication has been made.
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specically
for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in
which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the
recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is
characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be
accompanied by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply if
neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modied object code on
the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).
The require ment to provi de Installation Information does not include a
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work
that has been modied or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which
it has been modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied when the
modication itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network or
violates the rules and protocols for communication across the network.
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in
accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with
an implementation available to the public in source code form), and must require no
special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying.
7. Additional Terms.
“Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of this License
by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions
that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they were
included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable law. If
additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used
separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
this License without regard to the additional permissions.
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove
any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional
permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when you
modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added by you
to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to
a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material)
supplement the terms of this License with terms:
• a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of
sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
• b) Requiring preservation of specied reasonable legal notices or author
attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed
by works containing it; or
• c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring
that modied versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as
different from the original version; or
• d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors
of the material; or
• e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade
names, trademarks, or service marks; or
• f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material
by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with
contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability that
these contractual assumptions directly impose on those licensors and
authors.
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further restrictions”
within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of
it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that
is a further restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains a
further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you may
add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license document,
provided that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place,
in the relevant source les, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those
les, or a notice indicating where to nd the applicable terms.
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of
a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply
either way.
8. Termination.
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided
under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses
granted under the third paragraph of section 11).
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from
a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the
copyright holder explicitly and nally terminates your license, and (b) permanently,
if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
prior to 60 days after the cessation.
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright ho lder is reinstated
permanently if the copyright holder noties you of the violation by some reasonable
means, this is the rst time you have received notice of violation of this License (for
any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days
after your receipt of the notice.
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses
of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your
rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to
receive new licenses for the same material under section 10.
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a
copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely
as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise
does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants
you permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe
copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating
a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a
license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject
to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties
with this License.
An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an organization,
or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or merging
organizations. If propagation of a covered work results from an entity transaction,
each party to that transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives
whatever licenses to the work the party’s predecessor in interest had or could give
under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding
60

End User License Agreement For Operating System Software
Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or
can get it with reasonable efforts.
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights
granted or afrmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a license
fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and
you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit)
alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
11. Patents.
A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of
the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus licensed is
called the contributor’s “contributor version”.
A contributor’s “essential patent claims” are all patent claims owned or
controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that
would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using,
or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would be infringed
only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
purposes of this denition, “control” includes the right to grant patent sublicenses
in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License.
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent
license under the contributor’s essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for
sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor
version.
In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express agreement
or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express
permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement).
To “grant” such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or
commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and
the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of
charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network
server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the
Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the
benet of the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to
downstream recipients. “Knowingly relying” means you have actual knowledge
that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or
your recipient’s use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more
identiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe are valid.
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you
convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a
patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing them
to use, propagate, modify or convey a specic copy of the covered work, then the
patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
work and works based on it.
A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within the scope of its
coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise of one
or more of the rights that are specically granted under this License. You may not
convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that
is in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the
third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under
which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered
work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of
the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b)
primarily for and in connection with specic products or compilations that contain
the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license
was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied
license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you
under applicable patent law.
resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part which is
the covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public
License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
combination as such.
14. Revised Versions of this License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new
problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License
“or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the
Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published by
the Free Software Foundation.
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of
the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy’s public statement of
acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the
Program.
Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions.
However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder
as a result of your choosing to follow a later version.
15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR TH E PROGRAM, TO TH E EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN
WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE
THE PROG RA M “AS IS” WI THOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF
THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE,
YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
CORRECTION.
16. Limitation of Liability.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED
TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY
WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE,
BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS
OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED
BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE
WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot
be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply
local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability
in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability
accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.
LICENSE AGREEMENTS
12. No Surrender of Others’ Freedom.
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you
from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to
satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if
you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from
those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those
terms and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to
link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU
Affero General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the
