HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI LCD REAR PTV
ANTENNA
Unless your LCD Rear PTV is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor 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 LCD Rear PTV 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 so, 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 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 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.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. Since LCD Rear PTV incorporates a high pressure lamp to display an image, it may take about one minute for the picture to become stable, after the power has been turned on. After extended use, the picture may darken, the color may look unusual, or the lamp “goes out,” (burns out). You may hear a “pop” sound when the lamp “goes out.” These are common characteristics of the lamp, and should not be considered defective.
2. LCD Rear PTV incorporates an advanced cooling fan system to prevent from overheating. If you hear the cooling fan, it should not be considered defective.
3. If you hear a “cracking” sound from the TV cabinet, it is due to the TV’s cabinet expanding and contracting due to room temperature changes. It has no effect on the TV’s functions.
4. The LCD Rear PTV cabinet is constructed with all plastic. Make sure to place it on a flat surface. An uneven surface might warp the cabinet and reduce the picture quality.

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

NOTES: 1. Completely insert the connection cord plugs when connecting to rear panel jacks. The picture and sound that is played back will be abnormal if the connection is loose.
2. The HDMI input on INPUT 1 contains the copy protection system called High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection (HDCP). HDCP is a cryptographic system that encrypts video signals when using HDMI connections to prevent illegal copying of video contents.
3.
HDMI is not a “NETWORK” technology. It establishes a one-way point-to-point connection for delivery of uncompressed video to a display.
4.
The connected digital output device controls the HDMI interface so proper set-up of device user settings determines final video appearance.

Press this button to quickly change the picture format ASPECT ratio.
Depending on the input signal format received, the picture format ratio allows you to adjust the images through the following options.
4:3 STANDARD Use this aspect mode to display conventional (4:3) images. Side panels (gray areas) are placed to the left and right of the image to preserve the original aspect ratio of the source. Note: Use this mode for only 15% of your total viewing time to prevent uneven aging of the phosphors. Phosphors in the lighted area of the picture will age more rapidly than the gray areas.
4:3 EXPANDED Use this aspect mode to display conventional (4:3) sources by linearly increasing image expansion from the center towards the edges of the display area in order to fill it.
Use these aspect modes to zoom in on conventional (4:3) sources.

BBE
Technology
Sound reproduction quality enhancement system. The BBE technology produces sound that is natural and crisp from just two speakers or the two internal speakers found in your HITACHI television. If your HITACHI television is connected to an external audio system, BBE will also create an incredible crisp sound experience from two speakers. BBE brings to the listener’s ear a more complete and accurate reproduction of the original performance. Each voice, speaking or singing, each instrument or sound effect is presented with its attendant harmonics or partials more clearly audible. The ear can then more easily recognize the unique tonal colors of each sound as though the sound was being produced live.

8 + General - Not recommended for young
children - Programming intended for a broad audience but contains light or occasional violence that could disturb young children.

Programming may not be suitable for chil-
dren under the age of 13 - Contains either a few violent scenes or one or more sufficiently violent scenes to affect them. Viewing with an adult is therefore strongly recommended for children under 13.
Programming is not suitable for children
under the age of 16 - Contains frequent scenes of violence or intense violence.
Programming restricted to adults - Contains constant violence or scenes of extreme violence.

CARE OF YOUR HITACHI TELEVISION
AND YOUR REMOTE CONTROL
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 as soon as possible to preserve the remote control precodes that were set for the devices. Pressing a remote control button with a “DEAD” battery might erase all precodes in memory. Do not use an old battery with a new battery.
Exposure of the viewing screen to prolonged direct sunlight or heat may cause the screen to permanently warp, resulting in a distorted picture.
73
RECEPTION PROBLEMS
• 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 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 TV set can generate sound distortion in external devices such as a radio. Please separate radio equipment from the TV set to a considerable distance.
