Handgrips 42HDT20 32HDT20 42HDT20 ANTENNA Unless your Plasma Television is connected to a cable TV system or 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. 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. Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI PLASMA TELEVISION 7 50 50 4" Minimum 4" Minimum BEST HORIZONTAL VIEWING ANGLE 5’ 10’ 15’ 20’ S S R L VIEWING The major benefit of the HITACHI Plasma Television is its large viewing screen. To see this large screen at its best, test various locations in the room to find the optimum spot for viewing. The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the TV and about 8 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. BEST VERTICAL VIEWING ANGLE 20 3’ 0’ 5’ 10’ 15’ 20’ A buzzing sound might be heard when the plasma display monitor is turned on in a very quiet room. This is due to the plasma panel drive circuit when it is functioning. This arching sound is normal and it is not a malfunction. Some infrared rays are emitted from the plasma display monitor’s panel that might affect other infrared controlling equipment. High-precision technology is used to manufacture the plasma display panel; But in some cases, there are minor defects in some parts of the screen. Points that do not light, points with brightness different from that of the perphery, points with color different from that of the periphery, etc. Some pixels will always be on or always off. Please note that this is not a malfunction. When receving still picture signals, (e.g. channel number indication or clock indication) for a while, you can see image-like when the picture varied. This is not a defect. The plasma display panel is lighting the phosphors by the discharge of internal radiation. In some cases, this may cause the temperature of the panel surface to increase. Please note that this is not a malfunction. The Plasma TV surface temperature is higher than a Cathode-ray-tube. The plasma panel is made from glass. Heavy shock on the front panel might damage it. When the PDP monitor is transported horizontally, the glass panel has the possibility of being broken or increasing the picture defects. At the time of transportation, horizontal style is prohibited. More-over, please treat the plasma panel with great care because of a precision apparatus. Please instruct transporters so that it should be put into the packing box at the time of shipment.(There is a possibility that breakage of the panel or defects will increase.) Rough transportation might cause damage to the panel and pixel failure. The plasma monitor illuminates phosphor to display images. The phosphor has a finite illumination life. After extended periods of illumination, the brightness of the phosphor will be degraded to such extent that stationary images would burn-in that part of the screen as grayed-out images. Tips to prevent such image retention are: - Do not display images having sharp brightness differences or hi-contrast images, such as monochrome characters and graphic patterns, for long. - Do not leave stationary images appearing for long, but try to refresh them at appropriate intervals of time, or try to move them using screen saver function. - Turn down the contrast and brightness controls. PDP television has luminosity and low contrast compared with CRT television. When a screen is seen at point-blank range, a random fine grain may be visible to a dark part. If an apparatus (VCR, etc.) antenna line is arranged near the monitor, the image may shake, or disturbance may be received. There is some time lag betweeen the picture and the sound. You can see lip motion that is delayed compared to the sound. Electric discharge/luminescence characteristic of the PDP panel also changes with peripheral temperature. Moreover, since there is also high power consumption value, a specified temperature environment is required. Storing the plasma television for a period of more than 2 to 3 months without use might cause an unstable picture when the set is turned on. 1 Arching sound from plasma display monitor’s panel. 2 Interference for infrared equipment. 3 Bright and dark spots 4 Picture Image (Spectrum) 5 Display panel surface temperature is too high 6 Plasma Surface 7 Transportation 8 Image retention 9 Luminosity and contrast 10 Granular spots 11 Disturnbance to video apparatus 12 Lip Sync 13 About the use environment of PDP television (temperature) 14 Caution on prolonged storage No. Items Notes IMPORTANT NOTES Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine HOOKUP CABLES 8 ANTENNA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACK PANEL VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CATV (Cable TV) When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, connect the outdoor antenna or CATV coaxial cable to the ANT A (75-Ohm) terminal.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine TIPS ON REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS 23 S-VIDEO 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 AVC Center. Refer to the operating guide of your other electronic equipment for additional information on connecting your hook-up cables. A single VCR can be used for VCR #1 and VCR #2, but note that a VCR cannot record its own video or line output (INPUT: 4 in the example on page 22). Refer to your VCR operating guide for more information on line input-output connections. Connect only 1 component (VCR, DVD player, camcorder, etc.) to each input jack. COMPONENT: Y-PBPR (Input 1 & 2) connections are provided for high performance components, such as DVD players and set- top-boxes. Use these connections in place of the standard video connection if your device has this feature. Your component outputs may be labeled Y, B-Y, and R-Y. In this case, connect the components B-Y output to the TV’s PB input and the components R-Y output to the TV’s PR input. Your component outputs may be labeled Y-CBCR. In this case, connect the components CB output to the TV’s PB input and the components CR output to the TV’s PR input. It may be necessary to adjust TINT to obtain optimum picture quality when using the Y-PBPR inputs. (See page 43) To ensure no copyright infringement, the MONITOR OUT output will be abnormal, when using the Y-PBPR jacks. Input 1 can accept component Y-PBPR signal only. Input 2 can accept both component Y-PBPR and composite video signal. You may use VIDEO or S-VIDEO inputs to connect to INPUT 3, 4 or 5, but only one of these, VIDEO or S-VIDEO, may be used at a time for each input. S-VIDEO has priority over VIDEO. S-VIDEO output may be used for recording only when the input is of S-VIDEO type.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 75 CARE OF YOUR HITACHI PLASMA DISPLAY AND YOUR REMOTE CONTROL DO Dust the screen with a soft cloth. Clean the screen with a soft cloth moistened in warm water and dry with a soft cloth. A mild soap may be used if the screen is extremely dirty. Place your Plasma Television away from extreme heat, humidity, and extremely dusty places. Remove the plug (AVC Center/Display Monitor) from the wall outlet if your Plasma Television will not be used for a long period of time, for instance, when you go on vacation. DO NOT Do not clean your screen with strong cleaners, polishes or a chemically treated cloth. Do not place rubber or vinyl products or cellophane tape on your Plasma Television. Avoid repeatedly touching the screen. Do not subject the remote control to shocks such as dropping it on the floor, etc. This may cause physical damage to the precision parts. Avoid placing the remote control in a high humidity place or getting it wet. Do not leave it on or near a heater. Excessive heat or moisture may cause the remote control unit to fail. When the batteries run down, remote control operation will become erratic or become unresponsive. Replace the old batteries with two new “AA” size batteries. Do not use an old battery with a new battery. Exposing the screen to direct sunlightfor a long period of time or heat may cause damage to the plasma screen. Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine USEFUL INFO 76 • 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 posi- tion 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 with- out 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 monitor has been designed pursuant to the FCC class B Rules. This is to prevent a prob- lem to Radio receivers. If this monitor causes a problem to Radio receivers, then take the follow- ing steps: - Keep the monitor away from Radio. - Adjust Radio antennas in order for the monitor not to receive interference. - The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the monitor. - Use a coaxial cable for antenna. You can check if this monitor influences Radio receivers by turning off all other equipment other than the monitor. If you find a problem receiveing Radio when using the monitor, check the instructions mentioned above. • The display image appears scrolling diagonal. • Text displayed across the screen appears vertically streaked, with the characters in vertical columns blurred. • Adjust the dot clock frequency and phase. (Adjust the dot clock frequency first, the dot clock phase next.) (RGB input) • Text displayed across the screen appears blurred. • A fine pattern flickers when displayed on the screen. • Adjust the dot clock phase for the clearest viewing. (RGB input) • Vertical stripes appear, depending on the screen contents. • The plasma display panel is lighting the phosphors by the discharge of internal radiation. Depending on the screen contents, in rare cases this may cause vertical stripes to appear because of failure to light. Please note that this is not a malfunction. • Coarse horizontal stripes appear in FULL display. • Adjusting the phase will reduce the horizontal stripes. (RGB input) • The display dims to make the picture invisible during special playback of a VCR (FF, REW). • This condition may occur when the unit is connected to a VCR with component output, such as 480i, but it is not a failure. But when it occurs, switch to composite output or S1 (S2) output).
