W ide Screen Modes
The various screen modes below and on page 18 are available on this model. Each of these modes are accessed using the 16:9 button (10) on your handset
AUTO
Auto mode automatically detects various screen formats that are transmitted in either conventional (4:3) or wide screen (16:9/14:9). After detecting which signal is being transmitted the TV will automatically switch to the correct screen ratio. In example 1 (left) a 4:3 conventional picture format is shown, note the black bars to the sides of the screen, this is consistent with screen compression. 4:3 mode can also be manually selected if desired.
example 1
Example 2 (left) illustrates a 16:9 Wide Screen picture format. This type of picture fills the entire TV screen. The 16:9 mode can also be manually selected if desired.
Hitachi recommend that AUTO is selected for the majority of TV viewing. NOTES: The function of the AUTO mode is dependent on whether the Wide Screen Signalling (WSS) is transmitting, check with your local operator for availability. When WSS is not active the picture mode will default to the Feature settings

AUTO mode can also detect 14:9 ratio signals, when this mode has been selected thin black bars appear to the sides of the screen (example 3). NOTE: Other screen formats may be transmitted by certain broadcasters, these are 14 x 9 True Wide Screen and 16 x 9L/14 x 9L with subtitles. Your TV is able to detect these formats and adjust the set automatically (subject to WSS transmitting).
example 3
PANORAMIC
Panoramic mode emulates that of a Wide Screen broadcast for 4 x 3 transmissions. This is achieved by maintaining the proportions of the centre of the screen while extending the images on the sides of the screen (example 4).
example 4
MANUAL SETTINGS Some modes can also be manually selected if some pictures appear distorted or stretched, or subtitle information becomes lost. Follow the guide below to apply the correct setting. 16 x 9L
The 16:9 Letterbox mode is used to expand a 16:9 letterbox style picture so that it uses the full screen to display the picture. Letterbox type pictures are identifiable by the black bars that appear on the top and bottom of the screen and some objects appear stretched (see example 5). Once selected, the 16:9L mode displays the picture as example 2.
example 5
14 x 9L
When viewing pictures in the 14:9 Letterbox mode (example 6) thin black bars appear at the top and bottom of the screen, and images become slightly elongated. By selecting 14:9L mode the user can expand the TV picture to display more of the screen (see example 3 above).
example 6
If viewing movies or programmes containing screen subtitles whilst in 16 x 9L or 14 x 9L modes, the subtitle may become lost to the bottom of the screen. To overcome this problem, simply press the SUBTITLE button (5) once.The SUBTITLE feature compresses the bottom of the screen allowing the subtitles to be viewed, as in example 7. If, however, you wish to view Teletext subtitles a further press of the SUBTITLE button is required, this will then restore the screen to it's original setting.

NOTE: Whatever Wide Screen mode was set before the TV is switched off will be the same condition when it is switched back on. The references to the Wide Screen modes are purely for guidance purposes only, your preferences may vary to those listed.

External Equipment Connection
Your TV has various input sockets for external equipment such as Video Cassette Recorders, Satellite Receiver/Decoder, Camcorders, Computer Equipment etc.. Equipment that is connected temporarily i.e. Camcorders can be connected via the front control panel input sockets. However, equipment such as VCR's and Satellite IRD's, that are more or less permanently connected to your TV, are connected via the AV1 or AV2 scart sockets on the rear of the TV. CAMCORDER CONNECTION: Connecting a camcorder to your TV is simple. Firstly, identify the type of camcorder and it's connecting plugs. If it is a standard 8mm type camera then it is likely to have `RCA' type sockets. If, however, you have S-VHS or Hi8 type camera then this may have a S-VHS/Hi8 plug and will have to be placed in the corresponding S-VHS/Hi8 socket on the TV. Open the front control panel door on the TV, and connect your equipment as shown in the illustration below. Switch your TV on, and repeatedly press the TV/AV button (Nº9) on your handset until AV3 is displayed on-screen. Now begin

* If your camcorder has both S-VHS/Hi8 and `RCA' type sockets, then connect the S-VHS/Hi8 socket only.
COMPUTER EQUIPMENT: If computer equipment is to be connected to this TV, use AV1 as the RGB input socket located on the rear of the TV. PLEASE NOTE: Prolonged use of computer equipment or games on this TV may cause permanent damage to your picture tube. To avoid such damage, reduce the brightness and contrast to an acceptable minimum level and limit the duration of equipment operation. SATELLITE CONNECTION: There are two basic methods of connecting a satellite system to your TV. Method 1 explains connection of satellite equipment directly to the TV, where as Method 2 refers to connection via a VCR.

HITACHI ENVIRONMENTAL NOTICE
The Environment and You
HITACHI are signatories to the commitment made by the Consumer Electronics Industry on Reducing Energy Consumption by Televisions and Video Recorders in Standby.
HOW YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE ENVIRONMENT BY HELPING TO REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND WASTE!
Even though your TV has a low standby power consumption, you can reduce waste to zero if you switch off the set at the mains when it is not intended to be used for long periods i.e. for an Hour or so. TV sets should certainly be switched off overnight or when you are away from home. Other factors should also be considered when operating your TV. Reducing volume settings to sensible levels can reduce power consumption as well as reducing noise pollution, and reducing the contrast can also provide a more pleasing picture in lower ambient lighting conditions as well as reducing power consumption.
Hitachi Home Electronics (Europe) Ltd. Manufacturing Site in Wales is a BSI Registered Company, and has been assessed to ISO 9001 Quality Management Standard, certificate number FM 32366 and the Environmental Quality Management Standard ISO 14001, certificate number EMS 36168, under which your Television has been manufactured.
The paper used for this Operating Guide has been produced from sustainable forests, part of Hitachi's on going commitment to the global environment.
