Hitachi 42HDS69 42 in. Plasma Television - Page 9 Questions & Answers
Hitachi ultravision model number 42hds69 cable problem.
Usually you need a decoder to receive "Cable" With your "Cable" usually you connect the Cable antenna, to the Cable "Box" form the "Box" to the Audio Visual EXTERNAL inputs, in the back of the TV. Now IF your TV can receive the "Cable" directly, then you would have to connect the Antenna, into the rear of the TV, now you would go to the "Tuning" section, and, the TV, would automatically "Search" for any available channels. They would then, be displayed at the end of the scan. Please find a user manual below, this will help you tune in, IF you can. If you cannot, you will have to get a cab;e "Box" and a remote. Hookup to the TV, from the "Box" to the TV, via, Audio and Video cables. You use the "Box's" remote to change channels and volume. You first must set the TV's Volume, & picture setting, the TV, is basically just used as a "Monitor" for the "Box". Hope this helps..

We have a tv where we are getting some chanels
Try resetting the TV (look for through the Menu options for a Setup or Tools section and an item like Restore Default or Memory Recall). Then exit the Menu and return to the Menu and do a new channel scan.
Other resets can be done by unplugging the TV for a minute.
I hope this helps.

(I had a recent issue with one channel having no audio and another no video and resetting the TV's memory to the defaults and then rescanning worked.)

My 42HDS69 Hitachi has a recurring problem of not
MY TV KEPT GETTING WORSE EACH DAY ALSO. BUY A CAN OF SPRAY AIR WITH THE EXTENSION SPRAY TUBE. WHEN YOU GET THE TV RUNNING SPRAY THROUGH THE HOLES IN THE BACK RIGHT ONTO THE FAN BLADES OF BOTH FANS. THE DUST WILL FLY OFF THE BLADES. A VACUMM HOSE WILL HELP PULL OUT THE DUST. ALSO SRAY THE POWER SUPPLY BOARD FOR DUST. I APPEARS THE FANS SLOW DOWN WITH DIRT ON THEM AND THE EXTRA HEAT BUILD UP JUST AFTER THE TV IS SHUT DOWN IS CAUSING THE POWER SUPPLY TO BE IN A SHUT DOWN MODE WHEN POWERED UP THE NEXT TIME. BEEN TWO WEEKS NOW AND WORKS PERFECTLY NOW AGAIN.
I have no power to my Hitachi TV. It is plugged

these particular tvs are very sensitive to voltage changes spikes etc.first turn off main power switch wait at least 30 sec if standby come on wait another 30 then turn off main power again and unplug tv for 1 min then plug in turn on main switch wait 30 sec then turn on tv with remote resets system.then buy a ups and always wait at least 30 min after turning tv off to turn back on if not causes power failure and after each press of power button wait 30 seconds before trying again lmk good luck
How do I play a PS3 on my 42HDS69
I know it seems obvious but have you gone into the PS3 video settings menu and changed output to HDMI (assuming your using an HDMI cable)
Very odd tv problem
Digital receivers whether external to the TV (converter box, satellite) or built in are digital processors(computers). Just like computers there are times when they freeze up. This can happen if the data stream is corrupted too much to render the picture, but enough signal to lock. The processor attempts to "wait" long enough to gather enough information to begin. Just like computers, these need to be re-booted by turning on or off and sometimes unplugged and plugged in. You have either too low of signal quality or too high of signal strength, which is a problem with digital receivers.
Ps3 won't play on my 42hds69.
plug in hd lead from ps3 to tv/now go to tv menu were you will see a choice of hd/scart/dv etc go to each till you find picture/or on remote av button/remember hd is not like a scart it does not switch ur tv to picture
The aspect feature is not
Maybe the aspect ratio is controlled by the cable box. or try another source like a dvd player and see if the aspect ration works then.
