alert the user to the presence
of important
operating
and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying
the appliance.

SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

Read before operating equipment
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on this monitor.
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with
one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the
third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug
does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use the attachments/accessories
specified by the
manufacturer.
12.
Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table specified by the manufacturer, or
sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used,
use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing
is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any
way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled or objects have fallen into apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.

15. Monitors are designed to comply with the recommended
safety standards for tilt and stability. Do not apply excessive
pulling force to the front, or top, of the cabinet which could
cause the product to overturn resulting in product damage
and/or personal injury.
16. Follow instructions for wall, shelf or ceiling mounting as
recommended by the manufacturer.
17. An outdoor antenna should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electrical circuits.
18. If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver 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 Electric Code, ANSl/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.

2. The plasma display has one AC cord. In case of an abnormal symptom, unplug the AC cord.
3. If you purchased the wall mount bracket option, please ask for professional installer. Do not install by yourself.

Caution when moving the main unit
As this product is heavy, whenever it is moved, two people are required to transport it safely. Whenever the unit is moved it should be
lifted forward using the two handgrips at the back for the plasma television. When moving the Display Monitor, lift the handles and the
bottom frame as shown below. Do not grab the speakers or the back cover when lifting.

ANTENNA
Unless your Plasma Television is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor color TV antenna
is recommended for best performance. However, if you are located in an exceptionally good signal area that is free from interference
and multiple image ghosts, an indoor antenna may be sufficient.
LOCATION
Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen. Also, be sure that the location
selected allows a free flow 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 monitor, and 30 cm (12 inches) from the top of the television to the wall.
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.

VIEWING
The major benefit of the HITACHI Plasma Television is its large viewing screen. To see this
large screen at its best, test various locations in the room to find the optimum spot for viewing.
The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the TV and about 8 to 18 feet from the
screen.
During daylight hours, reflections from outside light may appear on the screen. If so, drapes
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii_;ili:_i_i!_iiiiii!i
or screens can be used to reduce the reflection or the TV can be located in a different section
iiiiiiii!J!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!iii!!_!i!i_ii
of the room.
If the TV's audio output will be connected to a Hi-Fi system's external speakers, the best
audio performance will be obtained by placing the speakers equidistant from each side of the
!ijjjjjiiiiiiii77
i i!i icabinet and as close as possible to the height of the picture screen center. For best
receiver
stereo separation, place the external speakers at least four feet from the side of the TV, place
the surround speakers to the side or behind the viewing area. Differences in room sizes and
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiT!_!;!!!!!!!_ili!i!:il

CONNECTING

VIDEO SOURCES

The exact arrangement you use to connect the VCR, camcorder, laserdisc player, DVD player, or HDTV Set Top Box to your Plasma
TV is dependent on the model and features of each component. Check the owner's manual of each component for the location of
video and audio inputs and outputs.
The following connection diagrams are offered as suggestions. However, you may need to modify them to accommodate your
particular assortment of components and features. For best performance, video and audio cables should be made from coaxial
shielded wire.
Before Operating External Video Source
Connect an external source to one of the INPUT terminals, then press the INPUT button on the Control panel located at the bottom of
the display monitor or the INPUT button on the remote control repeatedly to cycle through the INPUT items.
