Connecting External Video Sources
First time use
Your HITACHI LCD Rear Projection 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 LCD Rear PTV Remote Control.
You can use your HITACHI remote control to control the Audio/Video equipment command without the
equipment’s remote control.
The LCD Rear PTV 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 LCD Rear PTV with up to four
components. Please see the following example of an AV Network setup between your HITACHI LCD Rear
PTV and external Audio/Video equipment (VCR and DVD Player).
