Dear Hitachi Customer,

Congratulations on your purchase of the very latest state of the art

television from HITACHI. At Hitachi

we pride ourselves on producing high quality 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 the Operating Guide thoroughly,

and if you encounter any difficulty, firstly refer to the Trouble Shooting guide at the rear of this manual. If, in the unlikely event

of a problem occurring on your TV, contact your dealer immediately. Please read the Guarantee carefully.

*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 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.
