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.

a). VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CATV (Cable TV)

When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, connect the CA-R/coaxial

cable to theAIR/CABLE (75-Ohm) terminal. Or if you have an antenna,

connect the coaxial cable to the same AIR/CABLE terminal.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The nationwide switch to digital television broadcasting will be

complete on June 12, 2009, but your local television stations may

switch sooner. After the switch, analog-only television sets that

receive TV programming through an antenna will need a converter

box to continue to receive over-the-air TV. Watch your local stations

to find out when they will turn off their analog signal and switch to

digital-only broadcasting. Information about the DTV transition is

available from your local television stations, www.DTV.gov, or 1

-888-CALL-FCC (TTY 1-888-TELL-FCC), and www.dtv2OOg.gov

or 1-888-DTV-2009 (TTY 1-877-530-2634) for information about

subsidized coupons for digital-to-analog converter boxes.

Please review this Operating Guide for further information

regarding such connections.

Hitachi supports the DTV transition and as a member of the DTV

Transition Coafition urges consumers to visit these web sites for

interactive guides and further detailed information:

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, ghost-

ing 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.

End User License Agreement for Operating System Software

3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti=Circumvention

TERMS AND CONDiTiONS Law.

O. Definitions.

"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.

"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such

as semiconductor masks.

"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.

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.

End User License Agreement for Operating System Software

e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms.

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 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a

6d. separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply

A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the either way.

Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying the

object code work. 8. Termination.

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 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

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 System Software

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.

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, SPECIAL,

INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR

INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS

OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED

BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE

WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY

HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

17. interpretation 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.

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 new problems or

concerns.

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.
