Connect Peripheral
Equipment
There is a wide range of audio and video
equipment that can be connected to your TV.
The following connection diagrams show you
where the different (Optional) equipment
should be connected at the rear side of the TV.
High Definition
Your Hitachi Plasma Television is capable
of displaying High Definition pictures from
devices such as a High Definition Satellite
Receiver or DVD Player. These devices
must be connected via the HDMI socket
(AV-5) or Component Socket (AV-3). These
sockets can accept either 720p or 1080i sig-
nals.
Via The Scart
Plasma TV has 2 Scart sockets. If you want
to connect peripherals (e.g. video, decoder,
etc.) which have Scart sockets to the TV, use
SCART 1, SCART 2 inputs.
If an external device is connected via the
Scart sockets, the TV will be switched to AV
mode automatically.
Via Aerial Input
If you want to connect to your TV, peripherals
like video recorders or decoders, but the de-
vice you want to connect does not have a
Scart socket, you should connect it to the
Aerial input of the TV.
If the VCR is connected via Aerial input it
is suggested to use Programme 0.
Decoder
Cable TV offers you a wide choice of pro-
grams. Most of them are free, others are to
be paid for by the viewer. This means that
you will need to subscribe to the broadcast-
ing organisation whose programmes you
wish to receive. This organisation will supply
you a corresponding decoder unit to allow
the programmes to be unscrambled.
For further information ask your dealer. See
also the booklet supplied with your decoder.
