Hitachi are signatories to the commitment made by the

consumer electronics industry on reducing energy

consumption by televisions and video recorders on standby.

Even though your TV has a low power consumption, you can

reduce waste to zero if you switch off the set at the mains

after use. Your TV 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 contrast can provide a more pleasing picture 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

FM32366. Your television has been manufactured under the

Environmental Quality Management Standard ISO14001,

certificate EMS 36168.

The paper used for this Users Guide has been produced from 

sustainable forests, part of Hitachi’s on going commitment to

the global environment.
