Installation Of The TFT TV To The Wall
1- To install the TFT T on the wall, first of all, the stand assembly should be
removed. Unscrew the 4 screws that attach the stand top cover and the 4
screws that attach the stand to the TFT panel and remove the stand assem-
bly from the TFT panel.
2- Place the 4 plastic pins to the circular screw holes at the rear of the TFT
and screw them to the TFT panel with 4 (M4 x 10) screws.
3- Decide the place on the wall where the TFT panel would be placed. Level and
mark with a pencil the 4 mounting points on the wall hanger. Drill holes for the
plastic anchors and then fix the wall hanger with 4 screws (4 x 30).
4- Raise the TFT panel and hang it to the holes on the wall bracket from the
4 hanging screws at the rear of the TFT panel.
IMPORTANT
1. Please follow the installation instructions care-
fully as failure to do so may result in injury or
damage to the set.
2. If you do not feel confident in carrying out the
installation yourself, please ask a specialist in-
staller to carry out the installation for you.
3. The wall anchors provided are for solid (brick,
concrete etc) walls only. For all other wall types
please obtain the correct fixings for the wall
type from your hardware retailer. If you are un-
sure which anchors to use, please seek pro-
fessional advice.
4. To avoid potential injury it is advisable to have
assistance from another person to carry out
this installation.
5. Hitachi assumes absolutely no responsibility
for injuries or damages that may occur due to
improper installation and handling

sockets, the TV will automatically switch to AV mode.
If both sockets are employed at the sime time, SCART
1 becomes the preferential.
Via Aerial Input
If the device you want to connect does not have a
Scart socket, you should connect it to the Aerial input
of the T .
If the VCR is connected via Aerial input, it is
suggested to use Programme 0.
Decoder
If you are subscribed to cable T offers, the
organisation will supply you a corresponding decoder
unit to allow the programmes to be unscrambled.

low), AUDIO R (red) and AUDIO L (white) inputs.
You must connect the jacks into the input with the
same colour.

Tips
Care Of The Screen
Clean the screen with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Do
not use abrasive solvents as they may damage the
T screen coating layer.
Poor Picture
Have you selected the correct T system? Is your T
set or house aerial located too close to non-earthed
audio equipment or neon lights, etc.?
Mountains or high buildings can cause double pic-
tures or ghost images. Sometimes you can improve
the picture quality by changing the direction of the
aerial.
Is the picture or Teletext unrecognisable? Check if
you have entered the correct frequency.
The picture quality may degrade when two peripher-
als are connected to the T at the same time. In such
a case, disconnect one of the peripherals.
No Picture
Is the aerial connected properly? Are the plugs con-
nected tightly to the aerial socket? Is the aerial cable
damaged? Are suitable plugs used to connect the
aerial? If you are in doubt, consult your dealer.
No Picture means that your T is not receiving a
transmission. Have you selected the correct button
on the remote control?Try once more.
Sound
You can not hear any sound. Did you perhaps inter-
rupt the sound, pressing the button?
Sound is coming from only one of the speakers.Is the
balance set to one extreme? See Sound menu.
Remote Control
Your T no longer responds to the remote control.
Perhaps the batteries are exhausted. If so you can
still use the local buttons at the bottom of the T .
