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.

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 Television, 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.

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 top
and base on both sides of the Television for stability.
When moving the Television, lift the handles (42"

Your Hitachi Plasma Television is equipped with an AV Network feature. This feature helps to control your
external Audio/Video equipment (VCR, Set Top Box, DVD, etc.). Once this is setup, it allows your IR Mouse
connector to control your equipment using your Hitachi Plasma TV Remote Control, You can use your
HITACHI remote control to control the Audio/Video equipment command without the equipment's remote
control.
The Plasma Television Rear Panel has 2 IR BLASTER jacks. Each IR Mouse cable can connect up to 2
external Audio/Video components.
Therefore, you can connect the Plasma Television with up to four
