SAFETY TIPS
3
1. This television set is 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.
2. When the power cord or plug is
damaged or frayed, unplug the
television from the wall outlet and
refer servicing to qualified service
personnel.
3. Do not overload wall outlets and
extension cords as this can result in
fire or electric shock.
4. Do not allow anything to rest on or
roll over the power cord, and do not
place the television where the
power cord is subject to traffic or
abuse. This may result in a shock
or fire hazard.
5. Do not attempt to service the
television yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you
to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
6. Never push objects of any kind into
the television's cabinet slots as they
may touch dangerous voltage points
or short out parts that could result in
a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the television.
7. If the television has been dropped or
the cabinet has been damaged,
unplug the television from the wall
outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel.
8. If liquid has been spilled into the
television set, unplug it from the
wall outlet and refer service to
qualified service personnel.
9. Do not subject your television to
impact of any kind. Be careful not to
damage the picture tube surface.

should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination
to overturn.

dust inside the chassis may cause
failure of the television when high
humidity persists.
15. The television has slots or openings
in
the
cabinet
for
ventilation
purposes which provide reliable
operation of
the receiver and
protect
the
television
from
overheating. These openings must
not be blocked or covered.

Never cover the slots or openings
with cloth or other material.
12. Do not use the television near
water, for example, near a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry
tub, in a wet basement, or near a

PICTURE CAUTIONS
Picture Burn Prevention
·
Continuous on-screen displays such as video games, stock market quotations, computer generated graphics, and other
fixed (non-moving) patterns can cause permanent damage to projection television receivers.
Such "PATTERN
BURNS" constitute misuse and are NOT COVERED by your HITACHI Factory Warranty.
·
When using Picture-in-Picture function, the sub-picture should not be left permanently in one corner of the screen or a
"PATTERN BURN" may develop over a long period of time.
Public Viewing of Copyrighted Material
Public viewing of programs broadcast by TV stations and cable companies, as well as programs from other sources, may
require prior authorization from the broadcaster or owner of the video program material.
PROTECTION AND LOCATION OF YOUR TELEVISION
16-1. If an outside antenna is connected
to the television, 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 Electrical Code, NFPA
No. 70-1975, provides information
with respect to proper grounding
of
the
mast
and
supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge unit
connection
to
grounding
electrode, and requirements for
the grounding electrode.
16-2. Note to CATV system installer:
(Only for television with CATV
reception).
This
reminder
is
provided to call the CATV system
installer's attention to Article 820-
40 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.

17. An outside antenna system should
not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other
electrical lights or power circuits,
or where it can fall into such power
lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, extreme
care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or
circuits as contact with them might
be fatal.
18. For
added
protection
for
the
television during a lightning storm,
or when it is unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the
wall outlet and disconnect antenna.
This will prevent damage due to
lightning and power-line surges.
