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, coupled with Hitachi’s reputation for
superior reliability.
You should enjoy many years of trouble free operation from your TV. Take some time to read the
Operating Guide thoroughly, and if you encounter any difficulty, firstly refer to the Trouble Shooting guide
at the rear of this manual. If, in the unlikely event of a problem occurring on your TV, contact your dealer
immediately. Please read the Guarantee carefully.
*Dolby Pro Logic Surround Sound is the domestic version of Cinema Dolby stereo sound, and
allows the viewer to enjoy full cinematic sound quality when watching films or events
recorded in Dolby Surround. The surround channels reinforce the stereo image, allowing front
to rear sound movements (such as overhead aircraft effects) which immerses the viewer in
ambience and special effects. In addition to this, the Pro Logic circuitry is able to create a
centre channel, this anchors dialogue and central sounds to the screen so that speech does
not become disembodied or lost in sound effects.
Dolby Pro Logic together with Hitachi’s unique 3DS Spatial Sound system will allow you
to enjoy full Cinema Sound in your own home. In addition to this your Hitachi TV has full
expansion sockets to accommodate optional speaker systems, so you can set up your
listening area to match your most exacting audio demands and aesthetic preferences. These
features along with outstanding picture quality and of course our reputation for superior
reliability will continually reward your decision for choosing HITACHI.
