Quick Setup Guide
Perform  the  following  steps  to  quickly  setup  your  new 
Hitachi LCD Television Set.
1. ANTENNA CONNECTION
Unless your LCD 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.
a). VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CATV (Cable TV)
When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, connect the CATV coaxial 
cable to the AIR/CABLE (75-Ohm) terminal. Or if you have an antenna, 
connect the coaxial cable to the same AIR/CABLE terminal.
To outdoor Antennaor
Cable TV (CATV) SystemTo Air/CableTerminal
 
b). 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 TV Air/Cable terminal on the TV.

TIPS ON REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS 
 ♦COMPONENT Y-PbPr (COMPONENT 1 & 2) or HDMI (1 & 2) connections are provided for high performance DVD players, VCRs etc. 
that have this feature. Use these connections in place of the standard v\
ideo connection if your device has this feature.
 ♦Refer to the owners guide of your other electronic equipment for additio\
nal information on connecting your hook-up cables.
 ♦Connect only 1 component (VCR, DVD player, camcorder, etc.) to each input jack.
 ♦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 31).
 ♦When using a HDMI input from a Set-Top-Box, it is recommended to use a 1080p, 1080i or 720p input signal.
 ♦When the HDMI input is a 1080p signal, it is recommended that the length\
 of the cable should be less than 5 meters.
• Completely insert all connection cord plugs when connecting to rear panel jacks. The picture and sound that is played back 
will be abnormal if the connection is loose.
• Cable plugs are often color-coded. Match colors of plugs and terminals, i.e. connect red to red, white to white, etc.

• The  HDMI  input  on  HDMI  1,  2,  3  and  4  contains 
the  copy  protection  system  called  High-bandwidth 
Digital  Content  Protection  (HDCP).  HDCP  is  a 
cryptographic  system  that  encrypts  video  signals 
when  using  HDMI  connections  to  prevent  illegal 
copying of video contents.
• HDMI  is  not  a  “NETWORK”  technology.  It 
establishes a one-way, point-to-point connection for 
delivery of uncompressed video to a display.
• The  connected  digital  output  device  controls  the 
HDMI  interface,  so  proper  set-up  of  device  user 
settings determines final video appearance.
• Only HDMI 1 can support DVI audio input.
