introduction
Dear HITACHI customer
Congratulations on your purchase of the very latest state of the art digital
technology. At Hitachi we pride ourselves on producing high quality digital
televisions with outstanding picture and audio capabilities, coupled with
Hitachi's reputation for superior reliability. You should enjoy many years of
trouble free operation from your TV. Take some time to read this Users Guide
thoroughly, and if you encounter any difficulty, firstly refer to the Trouble
Shooting Guide at the rear of this manual. In the unlikely event of a problem
occurring with your TV, contact your dealer immediately.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND SOUND*
Dolby Pro Logic Surround Sound is the domestic version of Cinema Dolby
stereo sound, and allows the viewer to enjoy full cinematic sound quality when
watching films or events recorded in Dolby Surround. The surround channels
reinforce the stereo image, allowing front to rear sound movements (such as
overhead aircraft effects) which immerses the viewer in ambience and special
effects. In addition to this, the Pro Logic circuitry is able to create a centre
channel - this anchors dialogue and central sounds to the screen so that
speech does not become disembodied or lost in sound effects.
Dolby Pro Logic together with Hitachi's unique 3DS Spatial Sound system will
allow you to enjoy the full Cinema Sound in your own home. In addition to this
your Hitachi TV has full expansion sockets to accommodate optional speaker
systems, so you can set up your listening area to match your most exacting
audio demands and aesthetic preferences. These features along with
outstanding picture quality and of course our reputation for superior reliability
will continually reward your decision for choosing HITACHI.

This television has been designed and manufactured to meet international
safety standards, but like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if
you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured - so please
read this users guide before you attempt to install and use this equipment.
DO NOT cut off fitted mains plug as it may contain a special radio interference filter, the
removal of which could lead to impaired performance. If you wish to extend the lead, obtain
an appropriate extension lead or consult your dealer.
DO NOT continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working
normally or if it is damaged in any way - switch off, take out the wall socket plug and
consult your dealer.
IF you intend placing this TV into a cabinet or a wall alcove, please ensure there is at least
a 100mm (10cm) gap to the sides, rear and top of the TV. This is to allow for adequate
ventilation during your TV's operation.
DO NOT leave unattended equipment switched on unless it is stated that it is designed to
do so. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and show your family how to do this.
Make special arrangements for infirm and handicapped people.
DO NOT obstruct the ventilation of equipment, for example with curtains or soft
furnishings, or place your TV onto a carpet during operation which could also obstruct
ventilation. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the lifespan of your equipment.
DO NOT use makeshift stands and never fix legs or stands to the TV with any screws
other than those provided - to ensure complete safety always use the manufacturers
approved stand with the fixings provided.
DO NOT allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture, or place any water
filled vessels on top of your TV.
NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots, or any other opening
in the TV - this could result in a fatal shock.
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind - it
is better to be safe than sorry.
DO be careful with any glass panels or doors on equipment.
DO consult your dealer if you are in any doubt about installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
DO place your TV on a flat surface, or if supplied, the stand accessory.
DO NOT remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DO observe the manufacturer's instructions when connecting extension leads to your TV.
