THE iSSUE
•

The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and
larger flat displays are popular purchases. However, flat panel displays
are not always supported on the proper stands or installed according to the
manufacturer's recommendations.

•

Flat Panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dresser, bookcases,
shelves, desks, speakers, chest or carts may fall over and cause injury.

HiTACHi CARES!
•

The consumer electronics industry is commited to making home
entertainment enjoyable and safe.

TUNE INTO SAFETY
•
•
•
•
•

•

One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations
for the safe installation and use of your flat panel display.
Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of
this product.
Don't allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.
Don't place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as
steps, such as a chest of drawers.
Remember that children can become excited while watching a program,
especially on a "larger than life" flat panel display. Care should be taken
to place or install the display where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or
knocked down.
Care should be taken to route al! cords and cables connected to the flat
panel display so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.

WALL MOUNTING: IFYOUDECIDETOWALL
MOUNTYOURFLATPANELDISPLAY,
ALWAYS:

•

Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer
and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).
Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.
If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel
display, contact your retailer about professional installation.
Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate.
Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls with steel
studs or old cinder block construction.
If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.
A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays

fall directly on the picture screen. If so, drapes or screens can be
used to reduce the reflection.
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

Reception

Prob|ems

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.

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 or FREEZE (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 lost or weak receiving signals.

BLACK SCREEN:
When using an antenna, weak signals will display a black screen. It may be necessary to
upgrade your antenna.

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.

for Operating

AND CONDiTiONS

O. Definitions.
"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
"Copyright" also means copyright-like
as semiconductor masks.

laws that apply to other kinds of works, such

"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each
licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and "recipients" may be individuals or
organizations.
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion
requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting
work is called a "modified version" of the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier
work.
A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the
Program.
To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would
make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright
law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation
includes copying, distribution (with or without modification),
making available to the
public, and in some countries other activities as well.
To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to
make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network,
with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" to the extent
that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays an
appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the
work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey
the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If the interface
presents a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the
list meets this criterion.

1. Source Code.
The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source form of a work.
A"Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official standard defined
by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular
programming language, one that is widely used among developers working in that
language.
The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other than the work
as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major Component,
but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use
of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for
which an implementation
is available to the public in source code form. A "Major
Component",
in this context, means a major essential component (kernel, window
system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the executable
work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter
used to run it.
The "Corresponding
Source" for a work in object code form means all the source
code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and
to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not
include the work's System Libraries, or genera!-purpose tools or generally available
free programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are
not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition
files associated with source files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries
and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms
and other parts of the work.
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate
automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.

2. Basic Permissions.
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the
Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License
explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program. The output
from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair
use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without
conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may convey
covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications
exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided
that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you
do not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for you
must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms
that prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their
relationship with you.
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions
stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary.

3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti=Circumvention
Law.
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under
any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WlPO copyright treaty
adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention
of such measures.
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention
of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by exercising
rights under this License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any
intention to limit operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing,
against the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
technological measures.

4. Conveying

Verbatim

Copies.

You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it,
in any medium, provided that you conspicuously
and appropriately publish on each
copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that this License
and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep
intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this
License along with the Program.
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may
offer support or warranty protection for a fee.

5. Conveying

Modified Source Versions.

You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it
from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4, provided
that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and
giving a relevant date.
b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under
this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement
modifies the requirement in section 4 to "keep intact all notices".
c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone
who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along
with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and
all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate
such permission if you have separately received it.
d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate
Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do not
display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not make them do so.
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which
are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined
with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution
medium, is called an "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's
users beyond what the
individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause
this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.

6. Conveying

Non-Source

Forms.

You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections
4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable
Corresponding Source
under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:
a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including
a physical
distribution
medium), accompanied
by the Corresponding
Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software
interchange.
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a
physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least
three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support
for that product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either
(1) a copy of the Corresponding
Source for all the software in the product
that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily
used for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost
of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written
offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed only
occasionally and noncommercially,
and only if you received the object code
with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b.
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place
(gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding
Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge. You
need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with
the object code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server,
the Corresponding
Source may be on a different server (operated by you
or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you
maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding
Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as
needed to satisfy these requirements.

e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission,
provided you
inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the
work are being offered to the general public at no charge under subsection
6d.
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the
Corresponding
Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying the

Software

or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms.
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive,
may be stated in the form of a
separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply
either way.

8. Termination.

object code work.
A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any tangible
personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes,
or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
into a dwelling. In determining
whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of
coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers
to a typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status of the
particular user or of the way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is
expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of whether
the product has substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such
uses represent the only significant mode of use of the product.
"Installation
Information" for a User Product means any methods, procedures,
authorization
keys, or other information required to install and execute modified
versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of its
Corresponding
Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the continued
functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely
because modification has been made.
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for
use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which
the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in
perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized),
the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the
installation information. But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any
third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for
example, the work has been installed in ROM).
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement
to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work that has been
modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been
modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification itself
materially and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
protocols for communication across the network.
Corresponding
Source conveyed, and installation Information provided, in accord
with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with an
implementation
available to the public in source code form), and must require no
special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying.

7. Additional

System

Terms.

"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this License by
making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions that
are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they were included
in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable law. If additional
permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under
those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by this License without
regard to the additional permissions.
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any
additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional permissions
may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the
work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered
work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this License, for material you add to a
covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material)
supplement the terms of this License with terms:
a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of
sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author
attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by
works containing it; or
c) Prohibiting misrepresentation
of the origin of that material, or requiring that
modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as different
from the original version; or
d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors of
the material; or
e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names,
trademarks, or service marks; or
f) Requiring indemnification
of licensors and authors of that material by
anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with contractual
assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability that these contractual
assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors.
All other non-permissive
additional terms are considered "further restrictions"
within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it,
contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a
further restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further
restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a
covered work material governed by the terms of that license document, provided that
the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in
the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those files,

You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided
under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses
granted under the third paragraph of section 11).
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular
copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder
explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently,
if the copyright
holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days
after the cessation.
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently
if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is
the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from
that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of
the notice.
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of
parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights
have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive
new licenses for the same material under section 10.

9. Acceptance

Not Required for Having Copies.

You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the
Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence
of using peer-to-peer
transmission
to receive a copy likewise does not require
acceptance.
However, nothing other than this License grants you permission to
propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you
indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.

10. Automatic

Licensing of Downstream Recipients.

Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a
license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject
to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
this License.
An "entity transaction"
is a transaction transferring control of an organization,
or substantially
all assets of one, or subdividing an organization,
or merging
organizations.
If propagation of a covered work results from an entity transaction,
each party to that transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could give under the
previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the
work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with
reasonable efforts.
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or
affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty,
or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not
initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any
patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the
Program or any portion of it.

11. Patents.
A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of the
Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus licensed is called
the contributor's "contributor version".
A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims owned or controlled
by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be
infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling
its contributor version, but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
consequence
of further modification of the contributor version. For purposes of
this definition, "control" includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner
consistent with the requirements of this License.
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license
under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import
and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version.
In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express agreement
or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express
permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement).
To "grant" such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or
commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.

End

User

License

Agreement

for Operating

If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the
Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of charge
and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network server or
other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding
Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the
requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream recipients.
"Knowingly relying" means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license,
your conveying the covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered
work in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country that
you have reason to believe are valid.
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement,
you
convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent
license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing them to use,
propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent
license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and
works based on it.
A patent license is "discriminatory"
if it does not include within the scope of its
coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise of one
or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this License. You may not
convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the third
party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under which
the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work
from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered
work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and
in connection with specific products or compilations that contain the covered work,
unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior
to 28 March 2007.
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied
license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you
under applicable patent law.

12. No Surrender of Others'

Freedom.

If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement
or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you
from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to
satisfy simultaneously
your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you
agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to
whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and
this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.

13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or
combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU Affero
General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting
work. The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered
work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, section
13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the combination as such.

14. Revised Versions

of this License.

The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the
GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar
in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address
concerns.

new problems

Each version is given a distinguishing version numben If the Program specifies
that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License "or any later
version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either
of that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Software
Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General
Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU
General Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a
version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.
Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. However,
no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder as a result of
your choosing to follow a later version.

15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
THERE
IS NO WARRANTY
FOR THE PROGRAM,
TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN
WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, iNCLUDING, BUT NOT MMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE
ENTIRE RISKAS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE
OF THE PROGRAM IS
WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE
COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

16. Limitation of Liability.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE
LAW OR AGREED TO
IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO
MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING
ANY GENERAL,

HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

PARTY

of Sections 15 and 16.

If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be
given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local law
that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection
with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of
the Program in return for a fee.
