SERVICE MANUAL 55HDM71
(PW1)




Caution
Be sure to read this manual before servicing. To assure safety from fire, electric shock, injury, harmful radiation
and materials, various measures have been provided for in this HITACHI Plasma display service manual.
Be sure to read all cautionary items described in the manual to maintain safety before servicing.


Service Warning
1. Since the Panel Module and front Filter are made of glass, handle a broken Module and/or Filter with
sufficient care, in order not to be injured.
2. Repair work should not be started until after the Panel Module and the AC/DC Power supply have cooled
sufficiently.
3. Special care should be exercised in the proximity of the display area in order not to damage its surface.
4. The Panel Module should not be touched with bare hands, as this will protect its surface from stains.
5. It is recommended to use clean soft gloves during the repair work in order to protect not only the display
area of the Panel Module but also the technician.
6. The Chip Tube of the Panel Module (located in the upper left corner of the back of the glass panel)
is very fragile; as well, the flat cables connecting the Panel to the drive circuit PWBs are very weak. Take
care not to damage these, otherwise, the panel will never light again..

PRECAUTIONS
How to clean the plasma panel screen (front glass) of the monitor -
Before cleaning the monitor, turn off the monitor and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet.
To prevent scratching or damaging the plasma screen face, do not wipe the surface with sharp or hard
objects. Clean the screen with a soft cloth moistened with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. If it is not
clean enough, then use a cloth with glass cleaner. Do not use any harsh or abrasive chemicals.
How to clean the cabinet of the monitor
Use a soft cloth to clean the cabinet and control panel of the monitor. When excessively soiled dilute a neutral
detergent in water, wet and wring out the soft cloth and afterward wipe with a dry soft cloth.
Never use acid/alkaline detergent, alcoholic detergent, abrasive cleaner, powder soap, OA cleaner, car wax,
etc. because they could cause discoloration, scratches or cracks.

1. Features
Large-screen, high-definition plasma display panel
The 55-inch color plasma display panel, with a resolution of 1366 (H) x 768(V) pixels, creates a high-definition, large-
screen (aspect ratio : 16:9) and low-profile flat display. Free from electromagnetic interferences from geomagnetic
sources and ambient power lines, the panel produces high-quality images free from any color misconvergence
or corner focus distortion.
High Performance Digital Processor
A wide range of personal computer signals can be handled, from 640 x 400, 640 x 480 VGA to 1600 x 1200 UXGA.
(RGB analog input)
Easy-to-use remote control and on-screen-display system (OSD)
The remote control included eases the setting of display controls. Furthermore, the on-screen-display (OSD),
displays the input status control settings in an easy-to-view fashion.
Power saving system
The International ENERGY STAR power saver feature saves power consumption automatically when input sig-
nals are not available.
When connected to a VESA DPMS-compliant PC, the monitor cuts its power consumption while it is idle.

One mini D-sub terminal and one DVI-D terminal for RGB input.
The D-sub terminal can also receive the RGB-component by On-Screen Display control.
One composite/S.video input terminal and two component video input terminals added with VIDEO board.
One component input is possible to switch to RGB signal input from the Menu screen.
One SCART terminal for the signal of the European standard added with VIDEO board.
It operates as composite/S.video input and RGB input terminal, or composite video output terminal.
One composite video output terminal as a monitoring output added with VIDEO board.
