SAFETY POINTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT

YOUR HITACHI LCD FLAT PANEL TELEVISION

Our reputation has been built on the quality,

performance, and ease of service of Hitachil LCD

Flat Panel televisions.

Safety is also foremost in our minds in the design of

these units. To help you operate these products

properly, this section illustrates safety tips which will be

of benefit to you. Please read it carefully and apply the

knowledge you obtain from it to the proper operation of

your Hitachi LCD Flat Panel television.

Please fill out your warranty card and mail it to

Hitachi. This will enable Hitachi to notify you

promptly in the improbable event that a safety problem

should be discovered in your product model.

VIEWING

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.

IGNITIONNOISE:

Blackspotsorhorizontalstreaksmayappear,picturemayflutterordrift.

Usuallycausedbyinterferencefromautomobileignitionsystems,neonlamps,

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:
