DW3U Information for service about lead-free solder introduction Hitachi introduced lead-free solder to conserve the "Earth Environment". Please refer to the following before servicing. (1) Characteristic of lead-free solder Melting point of lead free solder is 40-50 C higher than solder containing lead.
Modifications The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by Hitachi America ,Ltd. Home Electronics Division may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Cables Connections to this device must be made with shielded cables with metallic RFI/EMI connector hoods to maintain compliance with FCC Rules and Regulations.
DW3U ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND TRADEMARKS This Plasma Television complies with VESA DDC2B specifications, Plug & Play is a system with computer, peripherals (including monitors) and operating system. It works when the monitor is connected to a DDC ready computer that is running an operating system software that is capable for the plug & play. When a Plug and Play PC is powered on, it sends a command to the Monitor requesting identification.
Digital AV Block and after processing, delivers the image to the display module. This HITACHI Service Manual is intended for the qualified service personnel and it contains the necessary information for troubleshooting the Plasma television set in case of malfunction.
