Dear HITACHI customer
Congratulations on your purchase of the very latest ?state of the art? television from
HITACHI. At Hitachi we pride ourselves on producing high quality televisions with
outstanding picture and audio capabilities. Together with our reputation for superior
reliability, you should enjoy many years of trouble free operation from your TV.
Introduction Important
Please read this Users Guide thoroughly, especially the Safety Notes
on Page 4. Mis-use may cause damage to your television, which could
shorten its lifespan, or cause injury to yourself. Should you encounter any
difficulty in the set-up or operation of your television, firstly refer to the
Trouble Shooting Guide at the rear of this manual.
In the unlikely event of a problem occurring with your TV, switch off at the
mains socket, pull out the plug, and contact your dealer immediately.
Under no circumstances remove the rear cover of your TV.
Never guess or take any chances with electrical equipment
of any kind - it is better to be safe than sorry!
...notes on VCR recording
Although we recommend you turn OFF your TV at the mains whenever it is not in use, this TV is
designed to be left in Standby mode to enable analogue VCR recording. Should you switch off the TV,
this will not be possible, therefore, when you wish to make a recording, please place the TV in Standby
mode using the remote control handset (see handset operation section).
...notes on digital sound
Your Hitachi television is capable of decoding advanced forms of digital audio (such as
Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG and PCM) coding that makes it possible to reproduce high-quality
digital sound. Being the next step forward from analogue sound, digital sounds sonic realism
and listener involvement will change the way you experience sound from your Hitachi
television. Digital sound works by delivering at maximum 5 separate audio channels - left,
right, centre, left surround, right surround and also a LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel.
These independent channels allow for a more precise localisation of sounds and a more
convincing, realistic ambience.
