About HDMI

HDMI is the next-generation all digital interface for consumer electronics. HDMI enables the secure distribution of uncompressed high-definition video and multi-channel audio in a single cable. Because digital television (DTV) signals remain in digital format, HDMI assures that pristine high-definition images retain the highest video quality from the source all the way to your television screen.

Use the HDMI input for your external devices such as Set-Top-Boxes or DVD players equipped with an HDMI output connection.

HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC.

NOTES: 1. The HDMI input is not intended for use with personal computers.

2. Only DTV formats such as 1080i, 720p, 480i and 480p are available for HDMI input.

To Monitor

Connect the Monitor Connection Cable to the AVC center’s “TO MONITOR” connector, and to the display monitor’s “FROM AVC” connector.

IR Blaster

This jack provides IR output to your external components (VCR, Cable box, DVD player, etc.). With this connection, your external components can automatically be controlled by the A/V network feature. This connection will allow you to control the external components with your Plasma Television’s remote control in TV mode.

RS232C Input

For use with third party home Audio/Video control systems which are commercially available. Please see your dealer regarding these “non Hitachi” home control systems (see page 79 to activate this input).

IEEE1394

These jacks provide a digital interface for your external digital devices, such as a Digital VCR (D-VHS or Set-Top-Box) by means of a single cable (see page 20). When using IEEE1394 connections, you enable video and audio digital data exchange between a compatible device. This connection also enables you to control basic equipment functions (such as VCR play, rewind, fast forward, stop, etc.) from your TV On-Screen Display.

Subwoofer Out

Connect this SUB WOOFER OUT output to the external audio component input using the sub woofer cable provided.

Ferrite Core

Sub-woofer cable (RCA Type)

To AVC

Connect the Monitor Connection cable from the AVC center’s “TO MONITOR” to these connectors (“FROM AVC”).

￿Upgrade Card

This card slot is for future software upgrades. Hitachi will notify you if a software upgrade is required for your TV. In order to receive written notification, please complete and return your warranty card.
