LDECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
We declare under our sole responsibility that this product, to which this declaration relates,
is in conformity with the following standards:
EN60065, EN55013, EN55020, EN61000-3-2 and EN61000-3-3.
Following the provisions of 73/23/EEC, 89/336/EEC and 93/68/EEC Directive.
LSAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•The POWER button on the front panel and remote control switches the unit from ON to
STANDBY but does not isolate the unit from the mains supply. If it is to be left unattended for
a long period of time, it is recommended that the unit is switched to standby and the mains
plug is removed from the socket.
•Check that all connections are proper and that there are no problems with the connection
cords. Always set the power to standby mode before connecting and disconnecting
connection cords.
•If no sound is emitted from the speakers when the POWER is ON, turn down the MASTER
VOLUME control and press the POWER button to switch the unit to standby mode.Then,
check if the speaker cords are properly connected.
•To prevent short circuits or damaged wires in the connection cords, always unplug the power
cord and disconnect the connection cords between all other audio components when moving
the unit.
•This unit contains a muting circuit and it takes about 5 –6 seconds for this unit to reach
stable operation after switching the set to POWER ON mode.
•Never open the covers or touch the insides or insert a metal object. Any of these could cause
an electric shock or a fault.
•When an electrical storm is present, unplug the power cord and disconnect the antenna
connections.
•The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing.
•To clean the cabinets and panels when dirty, clean off dirt on the surfaces with a soft, dry
cloth. Never use thinner, benzene or alcohol, as these will damage the surface finish.
•Protect the unit against excessive heat (e.g. direct sunlight), dust and moisture.
•Be careful not to damage the power supply cord. Be sure to hold the plug when pulling it out;
do not pull the cord.
•Do not install the set in a confined location; otherwise, heat dissipation will be poor and
malfunctions may occur.
SAFEGUARDS
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions.This unit has been engineered and
manufactured to assure your personal safety. Improper use can result in potential
electrical shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the safeguards, observe the
following instructions for its installation, use and servicing.
LNOTES
•SWITCHING THE INPUT FUNCTIONWHEN INPUT JACKS ARE NOT CONNECTED
A clicking noise may be produced if the input function is switched when nothing is connected to
the input jacks. If this happens, either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control or connect
components to the input jacks.
•MUTING OF PRE OUT JACKS
The PRE OUT jacks include a muting circuit. Because of this, the output signals are greatly
reduced for several seconds after the power operation switch is turned on or input function,
surround mode or any other set-up is changed.
If the volume is turned up during this time, the output will be very high after the muting circuit
stops functioning. Always wait until the muting circuit turns off before adjusting the volume.
Check that the following parts are included in addition to the main unit HTA-DD3E:

NOTE
•Protector circuit
This unit is equipped with a high–speed protection circuit.The purpose of this circuit is to protect the
speakers under circumstances such as when the output of the power amplifier is inadvertently short-
circuited and a large current flows, when the temperature surrounding the unit becomes unusually
high,orwhentheunitisusedathighoutputovera long period which results in an extremetemperature
rise.
When the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off and the power supply indicator
LED flashes.Should this occur, please follow these steps:be sure to switch off the power of this unit,
check whether there are any faults with the wiring of the speaker cables or input cables, and wait for
the unit to cool down if it is very hot. Improve the ventilation condition around the unit and switch the
power back on.
If the protection circuit is activated again even though there are no problems with the wiring or the
ventilation around the unit, switch off the power and contact a HITACHI service center.
•Note on speaker impedance
The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long periods of time at high volumes when
speakers with an impedance lower than the specified impedance (for example speakers with an
impedance of lower than 4 Ω/ohms) are connected. If the protector circuit is activated, the speaker
output is cut off.Turn off the set’s power, wait for the set to cool down, improve the ventilation around
the set, then turn the power back on.

D.COMP.(Dynamic Range Compression):
Motion picture soundtracks have tremendous dynamic range (the contrast between very soft and very loud
sounds). For listening late at night, or whenever the maximum sound level is lower than usual, the Dynamic
Range Compression allows you to hear all of the sounds in the soundtrack (but with reduced dynamic range).
(This only works when playing program sources recorded in Dolby Digital) Select one of the four parameters
(“OFF”, “LOW”, “MID”(middle) or “HI”(high)). Set to OFF for normal listening.
NOTE:
•When playing back in the Dolby Pro Logic mode, depending on the settings of each output channel, it may
not be possible to make a setting of the master volume that exceeds 3dB.

•Surround modes and their features
•DSP SURROUND SIMULATION
•Thisunitequipped with a high performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor)whichusesdigital signal processing
to synthetically recreate the sound field. One of eight preset surround modes can be selected according to the
program source and the parameters can be adjusted according to the conditions in the listening room to
achieve a more realistic, powerful sound.These surround modes can also be used for program sources not
recorded in Dolby Surround Pro Logic, Dolby Digital or DTS.
1 STEREO Sound is produced from the two front channels. (Nothing is output from
the Surround and center channels.)
2 6CH EXT. IN Connect the output of the external decoder to this unit’s 6CH EXT. IN.
3 MULTI STEREO In this mode, the signals of the front left channel are output from the left
surround channel, the signals of the front right channel are output from
the right surround channel, and the same (in-phase) component of the
left and right channels is output from the center channel. This mode
provides all speaker surround sound, but without directional steering
effects, and works with any stereo program source.
4 MONO MOVIE Select this when watching monaural movies for a greater sense of
expansion.
5 ROCK ARENA Use this mode to achieve the feeling of a live concert in an arena with
reflected sounds coming from all directions.
6 JAZZ CLUB This mode creates the sound field of a live house with a low ceiling and
hard walls.This mode gives jazz a very vivid realism.
7 STADIUM Use this to enjoy stadium effect.
8 MATRIX Select this to emphasize the sense of expansion for music sources
recorded in stereo. Signals consisting of the difference component of
the input signals (the component that provides the sense of expansion)
processed for delay are output from the surround channel.
•Depending on the program source being played, the effect may not be very noticeable.
In this case, try other surround modes, without worrying about their names, to create a sound field suited to
your tastes.
•Thepresenceofsurround parameter settings as wellasthe setting items will differdependingon the surround
mode.
Using the DSP surround simulation
NOTE:
•CDs with the DTS feature require a decoder, so when using the “ANALOG”input mode, a noise may be
produced by the DTS encoded signal. Therefore, before playing the DTS feature, be sure to select the
DIGITAL input mode.
