HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW

HITACHI DLP

TM

REAR PROJECTION TV

ANTENNA

Unless your Rear Projection 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 Rear Projection 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 Rear 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 Rear Projection 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 so, drapes or screens can be used to reduce the reflection or the Rear Projection TV can be located in a different section of the room.

If the Rear Projection TV s audio output will be connected to a Hi-Fi system s external speakers, the best audio performance will 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 Rear

Projection 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.

On time

Restart time

It takes time (17 seconds) to display picture on television compared to a conventional color television. LED at the front panel indicates the set is under power on condition. (See note on page 9)

It takes about 60 seconds for the picture to re-appear, after quickly pressing power OFF then ON again. Three LEDs indicate the set is under power on condition. On: Three LED s blink alternately. Off: One LED blinks.

When power off Fans will keep working for about 2 minutes after power OFF to cool down the lamp.

Lamp replacement It is recommended that you replace the lamp every 4000 hours to obtain good picture brightness (This is not a guarantee that life time of a lamp is 4000 hours).

Bright and dark spot

Streaks in

Picture

This set has fixed pixel elements. There may be some dark/bright spots on the element. However, this is not a defect.

Please set proper signal strength. You may see streaks in picture on some channels without proper antenna. Streaks may disappear when signal is strong. Place antenna and cable away from the AC power cord.

Bend, tilt

PC mode

Burning

Due to varying signal content, you may see vertical or horizontal lines bend occasionally in

PC mode. However, this phenomenon is not a defect. It s caused by a lack of picture content due to under-scanning in PC mode.

This set provides the best picture quality in SVGA mode. It is recommended that you set your

PC to SVGA mode. In OVERSCAN mode, top/bottom icon will be approximately 19% to 50% within the viewable area, and should be accessible to grab and click. Picture is overscanned when receiving XGA or higher resolution signals.

Please do not leave the TV set with still pictures like games, stock market qutoes, and other non-moving pictures. Otherwise it may cause a pattern burn on the screen.

Protect Operation When the lamp is cooling down, the remote control does not respond within 15 seconds. LED at when power on the front panel shows if your set accepts remote commands. When blinking is slow, your set is ready to accept remote commands.

Please do not move your set when it is on

There is a color wheel spinning at high revolution in the television set. It may be broken if you move your set before setting power off.

AUDIO/VIDEO INPUTS 1, 2

The INPUT button on the front panel or Remote Control will step through each signal source input each time it is pressed. Use the audio and video inputs to connect external devices, such as VCRs, camcorders, laserdisc players, DVD players etc. (If you have mono sound, insert the audio cable into the left audio jack.)

NOTE: You may use VIDEO, S-VIDEO, or COMPONENT: Y-PBPR Inputs to connect to INPUT 1, 2. But note that only one of these may be used at a time.

COMPONENT INPUT takes priority over S-VIDEO input and S-VIDEO input takes priority over VIDEO input.

MONITOR OUT

These jacks provide fixed audio and video signals which are used for recording. Use the S-VIDEO Output for high quality video output. There is no MONITOR OUT when using COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT.

NOTE: S-VIDEO Output may be used for recording, only when the input is of S-VIDEO type.

S-VIDEO Inputs 1 and 2

Inputs 1 and 2 provide S-VIDEO (Super Video) jacks for connecting equipment with S-VIDEO output capability.

COMPONENT VIDEO Y-PBPR INPUT

YPBPR jacks provide for connecting equipment with this capability, such as a DVD player.

NOTE: DO NOT connect standard VIDEO or S-VIDEO when using Y-PBPR input.

Your component outputs may be labeled Y, B-Y, and R-Y. In this case, connect the components B-Y output to the TV s

PB input and the components R-Y output to the TV s PR input.

It may be necessary to adjust TINT or turn AUTO COLOR-ON to obtain optimum picture quality when using the

Y-PBPR inputs. (see pages 58 and 59)

To ensure no copyright infringement, the MONITOR OUT output will be abnormal, when using the Y-PBPR jacks.

When using the Y-PBPR jacks, Component Y-PBPR signal will be viewed as a blank PIP sub-picture. (see page 29)

PC AUDIO INPUT 1

PICTURE-IN-PICTURE (PIP)

Your HITACHI Projection TV 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.

(Component: Y-P

B

P

R input can be viewed as sub-picture only when SPLIT PIP mode is selected.) To select between main picture and

PIP sub-picture tuning, press the PIP CH button on the remote. The highlighted channel display will move with every press of the PIP

CH button. When the top channel display is highlighted, channel tuning is for the main picture. When the lower channel display is highlighted, 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.

ASPECT STYLE

If you receive an image with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the image will be displayed at that ratio on your HDTV unless you specify otherwise.

The Picture Format menu allows you to adjust the image through the following options:

Normal Choose this when receiving a 4:3 image and you want the on-screen appearance of the video to be a centered picture with side panels

(blank areas) on the right and left sides.

Full Choose this when you want the television to adjust the 4:3 image horizontally so it fills your 16:9 screen. No side panels will be added, and the image is vertically unaltered. This setting is especially useful for viewing 16:9 formatted DVDs.

ASPECT STYLE

Fill This function allows you to select when receiving either NTSC or

SDTV. Full screen picture is available in this mode when receiving letterbox signal. Both vertical edges will be hidden if you select Fill for ordinary 4:3 picture.

Smooth Wide This function allows you to select when receiving either NTSC or

SDTV signal. 4:3 picture is expanded horizontally as being close to both left and right sides. It keeps 4:3 ratio in the center of the picture, then expands as it is close to both left and right edge of the picture to show picture distortion minimized. This function allows you to watch picture without side panel for 4:3.

Some digital (ATSC format) stations may transmit 4:3 images in a way that will not allow expansion. You will be unable to adjust the picture format.

V. POSITION

This function allows you to select when aspect style is either Full or Fill or Smooth Wide. Vertical position can be changed with this mode. For example, it will be useful for centering the picture when there is gray area at both top and bottom of the picture with HDTV signal. Adjustable range is -10 (video center is toward bottom of screen) to +10 (video center is toward top of screen).

V. SIZE

This function allows you to select when aspect style is Fill. It will not be available when selecting other aspect style. It is useful when you wish to change vertical size of the picture. Adjustable ranges is -15 (video size is narrowed) to +15 (video size is broadened).

COMPONENT COLOR TYPE

This function allows you to automatically change tint and color coordinates for DTV programs.

HDTV - High Definition Television - Use for High Vision Signal Y-PBPR from HDTV Set-Top Box.

SDTV /DVD - Standard Definition Television or DVD (Digital Versatile Disc Player) Y-CBCR.

NOTES: 1. The aspect Style setting you select for an ANT input will automatically be set for the other ANT input. However, all three video inputs have independent Aspect Style settings.

2. You will not be able to access the V. Position menu if Aspect Style-Normal is set.

3. You will not be able to access the V. SIZE menu if Aspect Style - Normal or Full is set.

4. You will only be able to access the Aspect Style menu when viewing a 4:3-480i or 480P. When viewing a 16:9-1080i or 720P input you will not be able to access this menu.

5. If COMPONENT COLOR TYPE is set improperly (does not match actual input signal), the color and tint of the main picture will be abnormal.

6. You must be tuned to VIDEO: 1 or 2 input and have a component hooked up to the Y-PBPR input jacks to access this component color type.

7. All component color type settings will affect only color component input you are currently viewing. If you are using both sets of component input jacks, be sure to set the component color type feature for both inputs.

8. Adjustable range of V. Position is -20 to +20 when receiving 480P picture.

It is the normal listening mode. It does not make full use of your televisions dynamic range, but is a good compromise for all day viewing/listening.

When NIGHT is selected:

This mode allows the audio to be reproduced in such a way that the impact of sound track extremes (such as explosions) are reduced while quiet passages are boosted , allowing all the audio information to be heard at a low volume level. As it s name suggests, this mode is intended for night time viewing.

When MAXIMUM is selected:

This mode makes the best use of the televisions dynamic range. It will enhance the sound effects such as explosions or screams.

CARE OF YOUR HITACHI PROJECTION TV

¥ IGNITION NOISE:

Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills and other electrical appliances.

¥ GHOSTS:

Ghosts are caused by the Rear Projection 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 is weak, 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 Rear Projection Television can generate sound distortion in external devices such as a radio. Please separate radio equipment from the Rear Projection Television to a considerable distance.

NOTE: The Rear Projection Television has the nature that some pixels do not always work correctly. That is, some are lit and some are not. This is not a problem.

SCREEN

The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not rub, touch or tap it with sharp or abrasive objects. Be especially careful when transporting the Rear Projection Television.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

If the Rear Projection Television is transported directly from a cold to a warm location or if the room temperature has changed suddenly, the picture may be blurred or show poor color. This is because moisture has condensed on the lenses inside. If this happens, let the moisture evaporate before using the Rear

Projection Television.

PANEL

Do not expose the screen to direct sunlight. It may damage the panel. When the Rear Projection Television is used in a cold place, the image may look lengthened. This is not a malfunction. The image will become normal when the temperature rises.

When the same static picture has been displayed continuously, an afterimage impression of that picture may remain on the screen. This will disappear after a certain period of time.

If you turn on the Rear Projection Television immediately after power has been restored at an interruption, burn may occur.

This is not a malfunction. The image will become normal after a certain period of time.

FEATURE INFORMATION

As the digital era dawns, Hitachi has models that provide the best possible images today....and tomorrow. Our HDTV-

Ready DMX model incorporates Digital Light Processing TM and Multi Scan Converter to display high quality HDTV signals (1080i, 720P, 480P, 480i).

DIGITAL MICROMIRROR DEVICE

TM

SYSTEM

At the heart of the Ultra Vision Digital DMX model is the Digital Micromirror Device TM . DMD TM , an optical semiconductor chip that has an array of microscopic mirrors mounted on a standard logic device. These tiny mirrors operate as optical switches to create high resolution, full color images, with close to 1 million mirrors contained on a single 0.8 inch chip.

DIGITAL LIGHT PROCESSING

TM

TECHNOLOGY

Coupling the Digital Micromirror Device TM with our newly developed Ultra Vision 10-element lens system ensures maximum picture performance, such as 1280 x 720 display resolution.

MULTI SCAN CONVERTER

The Multi Scan Converter detects many kinds of signals having different signal timings, such as, NTSC, SDTV, HDTV,

VGA, SVGA, and XGA, then executes pixel format conversion and frame rate conversion to make a proper picture for a Digital Micromirror Device TM .

FLEX CONVERTER TECHNOLOGY

The Flex Converter converts both NTSC and 480i SDTV signals to progressive scanned signals. This unit creates pictures like Split, Picture in Picture, Surf 3 and Freeze. It automatically detects a DVD movie with 24 frames per second recorded, then converts to progressive scanned signal with 60 frames per second. This makes a smooth and natural picture without overlapped fields.

COMPONENT VIDEO

A COMPONENT VIDEO input accepts separate blue, red & B/W signals from high resolution digital sources such as

DVD or digital set-top box to provide a higher resolution picture.

3DYC (DIGITAL 3DYC COMB FILTER)

The Digital 3DYC Comb Filter analyzes three lines of information from a single video frame as well as lines from adjacent frames. This technology eliminates the flickering that a detailed pattern or scene would normally cause, for the cleanest, neatest picture possible.

PROGRESSIVE SCANNING

A standard TV uses Interlaced Scanning where each frame of video is broken into two fields, each providing alternating scan lines. This can leave noticeable scan lines and cause flickering. With Progressive Scanning, complete frames are displayed for a smoother picture with no scan lines and no flicker. This allows you to get the optimal picture quality from today s high resolution digital sources such as DVD, a digital set-top box, SVGA or with a VGA input, a computer.

DDC2B PROTOCOL SUPPORT

In order for a computer to recognize a monitor it must have DDC2B support, which you ll find in our DMX model. This allows the computer to recognize the resolution capability of that monitor and then automatically set itself to that level without manual adjustments.
