Connecting External Video Sources
Your HITACHI Plasma Television is equipped with an AV Net feature. This feature helps to control your
external Audio/Video equipment (VCR, Set Top Box, DVD, etc.). Once this is setup, it allows your IR Blaster
cable to control your equipment using your HITACHI Plasma TV Remote Control. You can use your
HITACHI remote control to control the Audio/Video equipment command without the equipment's remote
control.
The Plasma Television Rear Panel has 2 IR Out jacks. Each IR Blaster cable can connect up to 2
external Audio/Video components. Therefore, you can connect the Plasma Television with up to four
components. Please see the following example of an AV Net setup between your Hitachi Plasma
Television and external Audio/Video equipment (VCR and DVD Player).
