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.
VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CATV (Cable TV)a). 
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.

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 2 can support DVI audio input.•
