IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

(continued)

25)  Do not allow the product to output distorted sound for an extended period of time. It may cause speaker overheating.
26)  When you use the headphones, keep the volume at a moderate level. If you use the headphones continuously with 

high volume sound, it may cause hearing damage.

27)  Do not look into the opening of the disc slot or ventilation opening of the product to see the source of the laser beam. 

It may cause eye damage.

28)  Do not use a cracked, deformed, or repaired disc. These discs are easily broken and may cause serious personal 

injury and product malfunction.

29)  This reminder is provided to call the cable TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides 

guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding 

system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

30)  The socket-outlet must be installed near the unit and easily accessible.
31)  The mains plug is used as the disconnect device and shall remain readily operable.

CONDENSATION

Moisture will form in the operating section of the player if the player is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature 

of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, player's performance will be impaired.

To prevent this, let the player stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that the room 

temperature rises gradually.

Condensation may also form during the summer if the player is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases, change the 

location of the player.

HOW TO HANDLE THE LCD PANEL

Do not press hard or jolt the LCD panel. It may cause the LCD panel glass to break and injury may occur. 

If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you do not touch the liquid in the panel. This may cause skin inflammation. 

If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately gargle and consult with your doctor. Also, if the liquid gets in your eyes or touches your 

skin, consult with your doctor after rinsing for at least 15 minutes or longer in clean water. 

Power source

This LCD television is designed to operate on 120 volts 60 Hz, AC current. Insert the power cord into a 120 volt 60 Hz outlet.

To prevent electric shock, do not use the LCD television’s (polarized) plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless 

the blades and ground terminal can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.

Never connect the LCD television to 50 Hz, direct current, or anything other than the specified voltage.

Warning

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

Caution

Never remove the back cover of the LCD television as this can expose you to very high voltages and other hazards. If the television 

does not operate properly, unplug the LCD television and call your authorized dealer or service center. 

Adjust only those controls that are covered in the instructions, as improper changes or modifications not expressly approved by 

Hitachi could void the user’s warranty.
