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.

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
terminal on the television.
Phono Connector
S-VIDEO (Super Video) 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.
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.

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 the antenna input on both the main picture and sub-picture simultaneously, with separate tuning control for each. The
Dual Tuner can operate with only one ANTENNA input.
ANTENNA input can be viewed as both the main picture and the sub-picture simultaneously. To select between main picture and PIP
sub-picture tuning, press the PIP CH button on the remote. Every press of the PIP CH will highlight the main or sub-picture source. The
top channel display is the main picture and the bottom display is the sub-picture.
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 ANTENNA source or any of the video inputs.

DIGITAL ARRAY
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 feature to allow you to display a test pattern of horizontal and vertical lines at 9
different locations on the screen. Simply use the remote control to adjust the red and blue colors to match the green. When properly
aligned, the outputs of all three tubes should be directly over each other to produce the white lines.
To enter this adjustment mode, you may also select DIGITAL ARRAY from the Set Up menu. However, this will display a message
prompting you to press the front panel DIGITAL ARRAY button.

Button. If you do NOT wish to save your adjustment data into memory, turn the TV OFF or press the remote control PIP
button. When the TV is turned ON again, your old convergence data will be restored.
When adjusting convergence, always start at the center of the screen.

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 dry cloth.
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.
