HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI PROJECTION TV

ANTENNA

Unless your TV is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor color TV antenna is

recommended for best performance. However, if you are located in an exceptionally good signal area that is free from interference and

multiple image ghosts, an indoor antenna may be sufficient.

LOCATION

Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen. Also, be sure that the location

selected allows a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set,

To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where temperatures can

become excessively hot, for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance, etc.

VIEWING

The major benefit of the HITACHI Projection Television is its large viewing screen. To see this large screen at its best, test various

locations in the room to find the optimum spot for viewing.

The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the TV and about 10 to 18 feet from the screen. Picture brightness decreases as the viewer moves to the left and right of the receiver.

During daylight hours, reflections from outside light may appear on the screen. If s0, drapes or screens can be used to reduce the reflection or the TV can be located in a different section of the room.

If the TV's audio output will be connected to a Hi-Fi system's external speakers, the best audio performance win be obtained by placing the speakers equidistant from each side of the receiver cabinet and as close as possible to the height of the picture screen center. For best stereo separation, place the external speakers at least four feet from the side of the TV, place the surround speakers to the side or behind the viewing area. Differences in room sizes and acoustical environments will require some experimentation with speaker placement for best performance.

HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS

Most video/audio connections between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables that have phono connectors.

For best performance, video cables should use 75-Ohm coaxial shielded wire.

Cables can be purchased from most stores that sell

audio/video products.

Below are illustrations and names of common connectors.

Before purchasing any cables, be sure of the output and input connector types required by the various components and the length of each cable.

300-Ohm Twin Lead Connector

This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an antenna adapter (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).

"F" Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector

For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to the antenna

jack on the television.

Phono Connector

Used on all standard video and audio cables which connect to inputs and outputs located on the television's rear jack panel and front control panel.

S-Video (Super Video) Connector

This connector is used on camcorders, VCRs, and laserdisc

players with an S-Video feature in place of the standard video

cable to produce a high quality picture.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACK PANEL

VHF (75-Ohm) antennalCATV (Cable TV)

When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, connect the outdoor

antenna or CATV coaxial cable to the ANT A (75-Ohm) terminal. If

you have a second antenna or cable TV system, connect the coaxial

cable to the ANT B terminal.

VHF (300-Ohm) antenna/UHF antenna

When using a 30g-Ohm twin lead from an outdoor antenna, connect

the VHF or UHF antenna leads to screws of the VHF or UHF

adapter. Plug the adapter into the antenna terminal on the TV.

Your HITACHI Projection "IV incorporates Dual Tuner technology designed for improved viewing enjoyment. This Dual Tuner feature

allows you to view antenna inputs on both the main picture and sub-picture simultaneously,with separate tuning control for each. The

Dual Tuner can operate with only one input (ANT A only) or two inputs (ANT A and ANT B).

ANT A input can be viewed as both the main picture and the sub-picture simultaneously. ANT B can only be viewed as a main picture.

To select between main picture and PIP sub-picture tuning, press the PIP CH button on the remote. The channel display in green color will move with every press of the PIP CH button. When the top channel display is in green color, channel tuning is for the main picture.

When the lower channel display is in green color, channel tuning is for the PIP sub-picture.

This method of picture tuning is the same for one antenna input (ANT A only) and two antenna inputs (ANT A and ANT B).

The Picture-in-Picture feature is convenient when you want to watch more than one program at the same time. You can watch a TV program while viewing other programs from the ANT A source or any of the video inputs.

Your HITACHI Projection rv has three color projection tubes: one for red, one for green, one for blue. When mixed together in the

proper proportion, the output of these three color tubes can produce any color. To produce these colors, however, the beams must be

precisely aligned over each other so that the colors can be mixed. The process of aligning these picture beams is called "convergence".

Over a period of time, the picture tubes can drift out of alignment due to normal bumps and vibrations or moving the TV. If you move your "IV, or if, after a time, you notice color rings or halos around objects in the picture, you may want to converge (align) the colors.

Propedy converged, the lines appear white, which is actually a combination of the outputs of the three color tubes. The output of the green tube is stationary. The outputs of the red and blue tubes can be adjusted.

When properly aligned, the outputs of all three tubes should be directly over each other to produce the white lines.

To simplify convergence, HITACHI incorporates a function called MAGIC FOCUS, which allows the TV to self-adjust. This process will take approximately 90 seconds.

If this button is pressed during this 90 second period, no change in picture quality will occur. After this

90 second self-adjust period, picture quality will be optimum.

(Do not move the "IV during self-adjust.)

To enter this self-adjust mode, you may also select MAGIC FOCUS from the SETUP Menu.

However, this will display a message prompting you to press the front panel MAGIC FOCUS button.

NOTES:

Only a momentary press of the MAGIC FOCUS button is necessary to start AUTO DIGITAL CONVERGENCE.

At anytime during this convergence correction process, you may press the MAGIC FOCUS button to exit the MAGIC

FOCUS mode.

Do not press the MAGIC FOCUS button for more than three seconds. This is only for extreme cases of misconvergence and requires assistance from service. If one of the pictures shown below appears on the television screen, press the

MAGIC FOCUS button a second time to exit this manual set up mode.

Dolby Pro Logic provides four separate sound channels: left, center, right, and surround. For properly encoded programs marked

DI3_

the center sound channel contains the dialogue for the program viewed.

The left and right channels produce sound effects that will match the action on the TV screen. For example, Dolby Pro Logic will enhance the effect of

a car viewed driving from the left side of the TV screen to the right side. The surround channel (speakers) are placed behind the viewing area to add additional spatial sound effects.

To fully benefit from Dolby Pro Logic Surround, it is recommended that the surround speaker system be complete as shown

Use this when you have an external amplifier or component with Dolby Digital output, for up to 6 channels of all-digital surround sound.

To fully benefit from this feature, use this only with properly encoded programs which are marked =[]3,[_].

The center sound channel contains the dialogue for the program viewed, the front left and right channels produce sound effects that match the action on the TV screen, the left and right surround channels add additional spatial sound effects, and the Low Frequency Effects channel produces those room shaking rumble experienced in the best theaters.

To fully benefit from Dolby Digital Surround, it is recommended that the surround speaker system be complete as shown on page 22.

RECEPTION PROBLEMS

DO

Dust the screen and cabinet with a soft cloth.

Clean the screen with a soft cloth moistened in warm water and dry with a soft cloth. A mild soap may be used if the screen is extremely dirty.

Place your television away from extreme heat, humidity, and extremely dusty places.

Remove the plug from the wall outlet if your television will not be used for a long period of time, for instances, when you go on vacation.

DO NOT

Do not clean your screen or cabinet with strong cleaners, polishes or a chemically treated cloth.

Do not place rubber or vinyl products or cellophane tape on your television.

Do not touch the screen too often.

Do not subject the remote control to shocks such as dropping it on the floor, etc. Physical damage to the precision

parts may result.

Avoid placing the remote control in a high humidity place or getting it wet.

Do not leave it on or near a heater.

Excessive heat or moisture may cause the unit to cease operation.

When the batteries run down, remote control operation will become erratic or possibly stop altogether. Replace the

old batteries with two new "AA" size batteries.

Exposure of the viewing screen to prolonged direct sunlight or heat may cause the screen to permanently warp, resulting in a distorted picture.

65

CARE OF YOUR HITACHI PROJECTION TV

AND YOUR REMOTE CONTROL

IGNITION NOISE:

Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift.

Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, eleotdcal drills, and other electrical appliances.

GHOSTS:

Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the

direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or some other

objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve

reception. Ghosting may also be caused by defects in the antenna system

such as unshielded leads or connecting several sets to the same antenna without using multiple antenna couplers.

• SNOW:

If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where

the signal isweak, your picture may be marred by the appearance of small

dots. When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a

special antenna to improve the picture.

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:

The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal

streaks, and in

some cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.

NOTE:

The TV set can generate sound distortion in external devices such as a radio.

Please separate radio equipment from

the "IV set to a considerable distance.
