To take measures to prevent the Plasma Television from tipping over and prevent possible injury
it is important to mount the unit in a stable and flat surface.
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.

How to set up your new HITACHI Plasma Television
VIEWING
First time use
The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of
the TV and about 10 to 18 feet from the screen.
During daylight hours, reflections from outside light
may appear on the screen. If so, drapes or screens
can be used to reduce the reflection or the TV can
be located in a different section 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 receiver
cabinet and as close as possible to the height of
the picture screen center. For best 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 acoustical
environments will require some experimentation
with speaker placement for best performance.

Television. If your HITACHI Television is connected to an external audio system, SRS will also create an incredible
3D sound experience from two speakers and even enhance a complete multi-speaker surround sound system.

experience from two speakers. BBE brings to the listener’s ear a more complete and accurate reproduction of the
original performance. Each voice, speaking or singing, each instrument or sound effect is presented with its
attendant harmonics or partials more clearly audible. The ear can then more easily recognize the unique tonal
colors of each sound as though the sound was being produced live.

Reception Problems
IGNITION NOISE:
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift.
Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps,
electrical drills, and other electrical appliances.
GHOSTS:
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the
direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or some other
objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve
reception. Ghosting may also be caused by defects in the antenna system such
as unshielded leads or connecting several sets to the same antenna without
using multiple antenna couplers.
SNOW:
If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where the
signal is weak, your picture may be marred by the appearance of small dots.
When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a special
antenna to improve the picture.
Useful Information
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:
• RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:
The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some
cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.
• PREVENTION OF AN OBSTACLE TO RADIO RECEIVERS
This television has been designed pursuant to the FCC class B Rules. This is to prevent a problem to Radio
receivers. If this television causes a problem to Radio receivers, then take the following steps:
- Keep the television away from Radio.
- Adjust Radio antennas in order for the television not to receive interference.
- The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the television.
- Use a coaxial cable for antenna.
You can check if this television influences Radio receivers by turning off all other equipment other than the television.
If you find a problem receiving Radio when using the television, check the instructions mentioned above.
BLOCK NOISE (DIGITAL INPUT):
Fuzzy blocks may appear in some area or the whole area of the screen. This is
usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps,
electrical drills, ghosting of the image and weak signals.
BLACK SCREEN:
When using an antenna, weak signals will display a black screen. It may be
necessary to upgrade your antenna.
NOTE: The TV set can generate sound distortion in external devices such as a radio. Please separate radio
equipment from the TV set to a considerable distance.
