Connecting External Video Sources

Your HITACHI Plasma Television is equipped with an AV Network feature. This feature helps to control your

external Audio/Video equipment (VCR, Set Top Box, DVD, etc.). Once this is setup, it allows your IR Blaster cable to control your equipment using your HITACHI Plasma TV Remote Control. You can use your HITACHI remote control to control the Audio/Video equipment command without the equipment’s remote

control.

The Plasma Television Rear Panel has 2 IR Out jacks. Each IR Blaster cable can connect up to 2

external Audio/Video components. Therefore, you can connect the Plasma Television with up to four components. Please see the following example of an AV Network setup between your Hitachi Plasma Television and external Audio/Video equipment (VCR and DVD Player).
