Connecting External Video Sources

Your HITACHI LCD Rear Projection 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 Mouse connector to control your equipment using your HITACHI LCD Rear PTV Remote Control. You can use your HITACHI remote control to control the Audio/Video equipment command without the equipment’s remote control.

The LCD Rear PTV Rear Panel has 2 IR BLASTER jacks. Each IR Mouse cable can connect up to 2 external Audio/Video components. Therefore, you can connect the LCD Rear PTV with up to four components. Please see the following example of an AV Network setup between your HITACHI LCD Rear PTV and external Audio/Video equipment (VCR and DVD Player).
