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.
NOTE
the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular,
species that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding

Important Safety Instructions
Congratulations on your purchase!
As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips on mind:
HITACHI CARES!
The consumer electronics industry is commited 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.

cord and contact 800.HITACHI.
If you purchased a wall mount bracket, it is •
recommended that you ask for professional
installation.
Install the unit at a proper area where it does not •
expose anyone to any danger of hitting themselves
(For example: their hands, head or face, etc.)
against the edge of the unit that could cause
personal injury.
Power Cord Installation
Located on the back of the TV there is one plastic clamp to hold the
power cord. Please follow the instructions below.
Pass the power cord through the wire clamp and connect it to the 1.
T V.
Caution when moving the main unit
As this product is heavy, whenever it is moved, at least two people
are required to transport it safely. Whenever the unit is moved, it
should be lifted forward using the top and bottom on both sides of
the Television for stability.
When moving the Television, lift from the corners, then support
the top frame as shown below.
Please use caution when handling the left and right bottom
corners of the TV, as these areas protrude slightly from the TV’s
frame. Handle this area with care to avoid damaging the unit and
the possibility of personal injury.
Close the clamp to x the power cord to the TV.2.
All the cables connected to the TV will be held by this clamp3. .
FIRST TIME USE
Location
Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not
fall directly on the picture screen. If so, drapes or screens can be
used to reduce the reection.
Also, be sure that the location selected allows a free ow of air to
and from the perforated back cover of the set. In order to prevent an
internal temperature increase, maintain a space of 10 cm (4 inches)
from the sides/back of the Television, and 30 cm (12 inches) from
the top of the television to the ceiling. To avoid cabinet warping,
cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not
place the TV where temperatures can become excessively hot, for
example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance, etc.
Securing to a Wall
Use a metallic wire (two locations) to fasten the set to the 1.
clamping screw on the rear of the LCD TV as shown below.

WALL MOUNTING SETUP
STEP (1) : REMOVE THE STAND BASE FROM THE LCD TELEVISION
In order to remove the stand from the TV safely, please put the TV set on a soft and at surface (blanket, foam, cloth, etc.) to prevent
any damage; then remove the screws as shown below to separate the Table Top Stand from the TV. Now the Stand can be separated
from the TV. Useful dimensions for the WALL MOUNT assembly are illustrated on page 46 and 47.
STEP (2) : INSTALL THE WALL MOUNT BRACKETS ON THE LCD TELEVISION USING 4 SCREWS.
For Wall Mount assembly, please refer to the Installation Manual of the
Wall Mount Unit.
The screw type :Thread ISO M6 (Metric
type, do not use Standard type).
Insertion length (B) of the screws must be (i) within 8.5~10.5 mm for LE42S704, or (ii) within 9.5~11.5 mm
for LE46S704. If the length is less than specifed, the TV's weight cannot be maintained. If the length is more
than specied, a space is created between the Wall Mount Bracket and the LCD Television.This insertion
length is very important.
STEP (3) : TIPS TO CONSIDER FOR THE LOCATION OF THE LCD TELEVISION.
Do not block the ventilation holes. In addition •
More than
30 cm (1').
More than
10 cm (4").
Keep
more than
2 cm (0.8")
away from
the wall.
If you purchased a Wall Mount bracket, please ask for a professional •
installation. Do not install by yourself.
This LCD unit features an advanced ventilation system congured for •
vertical installation. A knowledgeable and experienced professional
technician can perform other mounting or installation orientations (e.g.,
horizontal, tilted) provided that you specically inform the technician of
the unit's specialized ventilation needs. Call 800.HITACHI for additional
info and guidance.

When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, connect the CATV coaxial
cable to the AIR/CABLE (75-Ohm) terminal. Or if you have an antenna,

of video contents.
HDMI is not a “NETWORK” technology. •
It establishes a one-way, point-to-point
connection for delivery of uncompressed
video to a display.
