Hitachi 42PMA400 42 in. Plasma Television - Page 4 Questions & Answers
Closed caption option not highlighted
What is the TV source or input? Unless the source is antenna or cable using the antenna in, the captions have to be disabled at the set-top box that is providing the signal. Some set-top boxes have a CC button on the remote but many have this hidden in the menu system.
My IPTV box requires me to press Menu, choose the Settings menu and then enter a code provided by the provider. Once in the menu, the captions are enabled in the Hardware > Audio menu. Some satellite dish set top boxes have different access methods depending on the TV setup. If you have a master box that feeds two TVs, the setting menu to control the closed captions was only available on the TV closest to that box. (This was the case for a Dish receiver with a Single or Dual mode. In single mode, turning on the CC enabled the captions for both TVs. In dual mode, the two TVs could be tuned to different channels but only the TV nearest the set top box would display the closed captions if the feature was enabled. On that receiver, the closed captions were reached by pressing Menu. Then the captions options were under Properties > Closed Captions.)
Please indicate what the TV source is for further information on where the sub-menu for the closed captions will be toggled on and off.
I hope this helps.

Why won't my 40 inch Hitachi tv not power on
Try resetting the power by switching off the TV and then switch off the TV's power outlet and disconnect the TV's power cable from the outlet. Press and hold the TV's Power button for about 30 seconds to drain any residual power from the TV and then release the button. Turn on the TV in the normal manner and see if it turns on then afterwards.

How do i scan for channels on my hitachi RC A48105. I do not have a manual
I don't know but it probably isn't much different to most other tv/remote combinations where commands are given by the remote and carried out by the brain in the tv.
Start by pressing the Menu button and the main menu should appear onscreen and from there use the up, down, left and right buttons to navigate the main menu and the select button to select sub-menus and items from the menu(s) until you reach the section on channel search, installation, etc.

Hitachi rear proj tv Channel Manager says " This Function is not available". How do I do a channel rescan?
First make sure that the current Source or Input is set to TV. This is usually the only reason for the error message you see. To select the source, look for a Source or Input button on the original remote. If you have an universal remote with a button with the Source/Input label, you may need to try alternative codes to make the button work. (Power and channel controls will often match across multiple codes for the TV manufacturer.) Alternatively, check if there is a Source/Input button on the TV or a section of the menu system with the function. Once you set this source, try again.
Note: there was a period when manufacturers sold some TVs without tuners. They were labeled HD-ready sets. These can't do a channel scan and do not have an RF antenna jack on the set.
I hope this helps. Please add a comment with the model number of your Hitachi TV for more information on setting the source on your set.

I need to know how to hook my DVD player to ,y
look on the back of the television and the DVD player, there should be a SCART socket and/or red, white and yellow AV sockets, either use a SCART lead and connect it to the SCART on the DVD player and the TV.Or use an AV lead with 3 auxiliary shape connectors and match the colour of each connector with the female sockets on both the TV and the DVD player instead of using the other component connections.
