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 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.

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

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.

MAGIC FOCUS
Your HITACHI Projection TV 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 TV, or if, after a time, you notice color rings or halos around objects in the picture, you may want to converge (align) the colors.
Properly 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 45 seconds. If this button is pressed during this 45 second period, no change in picture quality will occur. After this
45 second self-adjust period, picture quality will be optimum. (Do not move the TV 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.
MAGIC
FOCUS
MAGIC FOCUS
Depending upon input signal, it may be necessary to activate MAGIC FOCUS twice. While viewing a 480i, 480P, or 720P signal the convergence will be corrected. However, when you change to a 1080i input signal you will need to activate MAGIC FOCUS again.

MAGIC FOCUS MAGIC ¥ FOCUS
NOTES: 1. 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.
2. 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.

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 Screen 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 Choose this when receiving a 4:3 image and you do not want side panels on the right and left sides of the screen. The television will adjust the image both horizontally and vertically so it fills the height and width of your 16:9 screen with no side panels added.
It will also maintain the correct image proportion. Use with material such as letterboxed laserdiscs or VCR tapes.
Smooth Wide Choose this when receiving a 4:3 image and you do not want side panels on the right and left sides of the screen. The television will proportionally adjust the image horizontally so it fills your 16:9 screen with no apparent distortion or side panels added.
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 screen format.
V. POSITION
Adjust this when viewing a COMPONENT: Y-PBPR signal. This feature is used to center an HDTV video signal between the top and bottom gray bars. Adjustable range is -10(video center is toward bottom of screen) to +10(video center is toward top of screen).
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 Digital Video Disc Y-CBCR such as DVD (Digital Video Disc Player).
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 only be able to access the Aspect Style menu when viewing a 4:3-480i, 480P, or 720P input. When viewing a
16:9-1080i input you will not be able to access this menu.
4. If CONVERGENT COLOR TYPE is set improperly (does not match actual input signal), the color and tint of the main picture will be abnormal.
5. 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.
6. 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 (set COMPONENT
1 AND COMPONENT 2).

DOLBY PRO LOGIC
Dolby Pro Logic provides four separate sound channels: front left, center, front right, and surround. For properly encoded programs marked 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 on page

Press EXIT to quit menu or THUMB STICK to return to previous menu.
When STANDARD is selected:
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.
NOTES: 1. This feature is only accessible when SURROUND-DOLBY DIGITAL mode is selected and INPUT SOURCE-DIGITAL
(Optical or Coaxial) is chosen.
2. You must be in VIDEO:1 or VIDEO:2 to access this feature, since these are the only inputs which accept DOLBY

CARE OF YOUR HITACHI PROJECTION TV
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.
Exposure of the viewing screen to prolonged direct sunlight or heat may cause the screen to permanently warp, resulting in a distorted picture.

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.
