Connecting External Video Sources
Your HITACHI Plasma Television is equipped with an AV Network 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 Mouse
connector 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 BLASTER jacks. Each IR Mouse cable can connect up to 2
external Audio/Video components. Therefore, you can connect the Plasma Television with up to four
