Connecting External Audio Equipment
If desired you may want to customise your TV by adding external surround speakers. This TV will accommodate external surround speaker
systems via external sockets on the rear of the TV. The addition of external surround speakers will enhance your viewing and listening pleasure
even further, and we strongly recommend you purchase HITACHI systems to compliment your HITACHI TV (contact your dealer for advice).
The illustrations (below) will guide you on the correct installation and settings for external surround speaker set-ups.If you decide to purchase
additional amplifiers and speakers then please follow these simple guidelines listed below:
1. If you have purchased just 2 amplifiers and speakers then these are best installed as rear surround speakers, as the TV will use its own
internal speakers to create the front left, right and centre channels.
2. Please ensure that you purchase and install the correct rated range of amplifier and speaker for the TV - (front-
W att or greater) and (rear surround 5 Wa t t o r g r e a t e r ) . Your HITACHI dealer can advise you on
choice for your TV.
! IMPORTANT ! The 18V power output socket on the rear of this TV is specifically designed for Hitachi Accessories. Under no
circumstances connect any other accessory to this socket, as this could cause serious irreparable damage to your equipment.
Before attempting to connect any external equipment, ensure that the TV is switched OFF.
