IMPORTANT NOTICE
The nationwide switch to digital television broadcasting will be
complete on June 12, 2009, but your local television stations may
switch sooner. After the switch, analog-only television sets that
receive TV programming through an antenna will need a converter
box to continue to receive over-the-air TV. Watch your local stations
to nd out when they will turn off their analog signal and switch to
digital-only broadcasting. Information about the DTV transition is
available from your local television stations, www.DTV.gov, or 1
-888-CALL-FCC (TTY 1-888-TELL-FCC), and www.dtv2009.gov
or 1-888-DTV-2009 (TTY 1-877-530-2634) for information about
subsidized coupons for digital-to-analog converter boxes.
Please review this Operating Guide for further information
regarding such connections.
Hitachi supports the DTV transition and as a member of the DTV
Transition Coalition urges consumers to visit these web sites for
interactive guides and further detailed information:

USEFUL INFORMATION
Reception Problems
IGNITION NOISE:
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may utter 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 reected 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:
Keep the television away from Radio.•
Adjust Radio antennas in order for the television not to receive interference.•
The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the television.•
Use a coaxial cable for antenna.•
You can check if this television inuences Radio receivers by turning off all other equipment other than the television. If you
nd a problem receiving Radio when using the television, check the instructions mentioned above.
BLOCK NOISE or FREEZE (DIGITAL INPUT):
Fuzzy blocks may appear in some area or the whole area of the screen. This is usually
caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, ghost-
ing of the image and lost or weak receiving signals.
BLACK SCREEN:
When using an antenna, weak signals will display a black screen. It may be necessary to
upgrade your antenna.
NOTE The TV set can generate sound distortion in external devices such as a radio. Please separate radio equipment
from the TV set to a considerable distance.
