HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI LCD REAR PTV ANTENNA LOCATION Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen. Also, be sure that the location selected allows a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set. To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where temperatures can become excessively hot, for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance, etc.
HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS FIRST TIME USE Most video/audio connections between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables that have phono connectors. For best performance, video cables should use 75-Ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables can be purchased from most stores that sell audio/video products. Below are illustrations and names of common connectors.
HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS ANTENNA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACK PANEL VHF (300-Ohm) antenna/UHF antenna When using a 300-Ohm twin lead from an outdoor antenna, connect the VHF or UHF antenna leads to screws of the VHF or UHF adapter. Plug the adapter into the antenna terminal on the TV. When both VHF and UHF antennas are connected Attach an optional antenna cable mixer to the TV antenna terminal, and connect the cables to the antenna mixer. Consult your dealer or service store for the antenna mixer.

TIPS ON REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS S-VIDEO, HDMI, IEEE1394 and component connections are provided for high performance laserdisc players, VCRs etc. that have this feature. Use these connections in place of the standard video connection if your device has this feature. • If your device has only one audio output (mono sound), connect it to the left audio jack on the television. • Refer to the operating guide of your other electronic equipment for additional information on connecting your hook-up cables.
CONNECTING EXTERNAL AUDIO DEVICES FIRST TIME USE Match the numbers below to the diagram for speaker placement. 1 The television’s internal speakers will act as center speaker (select Audio-Internal Speakers-TV as Center see page 59). 2 These FRONT left and right speakers are connected to the FRONT output of a separate audio amplifier. 3 These REAR left and right speakers are connected to the REAR output of a separate audio amplifier.
CONNECTING EXTERNAL VIDEO DEVICES The exact arrangement you use to connect the VCR, camcorder, laserdisc player, DVD player, or HDTV Set Top Box to your TV set is dependent on the model and features of each component. Check the owner’s manual of each component for the location of video and audio inputs and outputs. Before Operating External Video Source Connect an external source to the INPUT terminal, then press the INPUTS button to show the INPUTS menu.
CONNECTING EXTERNAL VIDEO DEVICES FIRST TIME USE CONNECTING A STEREO SOURCE TO INPUT1~INPUT5 1. Connect the cable from the VIDEO OUT of the VCR or the laserdisc player to the INPUT (VIDEO) jack, as shown on the TV set below. 2. Connect the cable from the AUDIO OUT R of the VCR or the laserdisc player to the INPUT (AUDIO/R) jack. 3. Connect the cable from the AUDIO OUT L of the VCR or the laserdisc player to the INPUT (AUDIO/L) jack. 4.
CONNECTING EXTERNAL VIDEO DEVICES CONNECTING AN S-VIDEO SOURCE TO INPUT 3, 4 AND 5 1. Connect the cable from the S-VIDEO OUT of the VCR or the laserdisc player to the INPUT (S-VIDEO) jack, as shown on the TV set below. Connect the cable from the AUDIO OUT R of the VCR or the laserdisc player to the INPUT (AUDIO/R) jack. 3. Connect the cable from the AUDIO OUT L of the VCR or the laserdisc player to the INPUT (AUDIO/L) jack. 4.

When using a component with DVI output, you also have to connect the AUDIO OUT (R/L) of the component to the AUDIO IN (R/L) of INPUT 1. 2.
CONNECTING EXTERNAL VIDEO DEVICES CONNECTING A COMPONENT SOURCE TO INPUT 1 OR 2: Y-PBPR. 1. Connect the cable from the Y OUT of the Laserdisc/DVD player or HDTV set top box to the INPUT (Y) jack, as shown on the TV set below. Connect the cable from the CB/PB OUT or B-Y OUT of the Laserdisc/DVD player or HDTV set top box to the INPUT (PB) jack. 3. Connect the cable from the CR/PR OUT or R-Y OUT of the laserdisc/DVD player or HDTV set top box to the INPUT (PR) jack. 4.
FIRST TIME USE CONNECTING EXTERNAL VIDEO DEVICES CONNECTING A COMPONENT SOURCE WITH DIGITAL INTERFACE CAPABILITY TO IEEE1394 TERMINALS 1. Connect the IEEE1394 cable from the output of the component with IEEE1394 capability, such as a Set-Top-Box or Digital VCR, to the IEEE1394 input terminals shown on the Rear Panel below. IEEE 1394 allows the LCD Rear PTV and the external device to communicate with one another.
CONNECTING AV NETWORK The LCD Rear PTV Rear Panel has 2 IR BLASTER jacks. Each IR Mouse cable can connect up to 2 external Audio/Video components. Therefore, you can connect the LCD Rear PTV with up to four components. Please see the following example of an AV Network setup between your Hitachi LCD Rear PTV and external Audio/Video equipment (VCR and DVD Player).

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.
