Dear HITACHI customer
Congratulations on your purchase of the very latest state of the art
technology. At Hitachi we pride ourselves on producing high quality televisions
with outstanding picture and audio capabilities, coupled with Hitachi's

of a problem occurring with your TV, contact your dealer immediately.
...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.

aspects
This television has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety
standards, but like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain
the best results and safety is to be assured.
DO NOT cut off the fitted mains plug as it may contain a special radio interference filter, the
removal of which could lead to impaired performance. If you wish to extend the lead, obtain
an appropriate extension lead or consult your dealer.
DO NOT continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working
normally or if it is damaged in any way - switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult
your dealer.
IF you intend placing this TV into a cabinet or a wall alcove, please ensure there is at least
a 100mm (10cm) gap to the sides, rear and top of the TV. This is to allow for adequate
ventilation during your TV's operation.
DO NOT leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated
that it is designed for unattended operation or has a stand-by mode. Switch off using the
switch on the equipment and show your family how to do this. Make special arrangements
for infirm or handicapped people.
DO NOT obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft
furnishings. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the lifespan of your equipment.
DO NOT use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws - to ensure complete
safety, always fit the manufacturers approved stand or legs with the fixings provided
according to the instructions.
DO NOT allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots, or any other
opening in the case - this could result in a fatal electrical shock.
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind -
it is better to be safe than sorry!
DO be careful with any glass panels or doors on equipment.
DO consult your dealer if you are in any doubt about installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
DO place your TV on a flat surface, or if supplied, the stand accessory.
DO NOT
remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DO ensure that all connections, (including the mains plug, extension leads and inter-connections
between the pieces of equipment), are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions
. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug before making or changing connections.
DO NOT listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage
your hearing.
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
DO NOT use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted
from the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.
DO NOT place hot objects such as candles or nightlights on, or close to,
equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to fires.
DO observe the manufacturers instructions when connecting extension leads to your TV. The fuse
should be a 5 Amp fuse with the safety symbols
and
displayed. If you are in any doubt
about the extension installation, please consult a competent electrician.
