Important Safety Instructions

Power source

Public viewing of copyrighted material

This television is designed to operate on 120 volts

60 Hz, ac current. Insert the power cord into a 120 volt

60 Hz outlet. The power cord is used as the

disconnect device and shall remain readily operable.

Public viewing of programs broadcast by TV stations

and cable companies, as well as programs from other

sources, may require prior authorization from the

broadcaster or owner of the video program material.

To prevent electric shock, do not use the television’s

(polarized) plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or

other outlet unless the blades and ground terminal can

be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.

This product incorporates copyright protection

technology that is protected by U.S. patents and other

intellectual property rights. Use of this copyright

protection technology must be authorized by

Macrovision Corporation, and is intended for home and

other limited consumer uses only unless otherwise

authorized by Macrovision. Reverse engineering or

disassembly is prohibited.

Never connect the television to 50 Hz, direct current, or

anything other than the specified voltage.

Caution

Never remove the back cover of the

television as this can expose you to very

high voltages and other hazards. If the

television does not operate properly,

unplug the television and call your authorized dealer or

service center.

Note

This digital television is capable of receiving analog

basic, digital basic and digital premium cable television

programming by direct connection to a cable system

providing such programming. A CableCARD provided

by your cable operator is required to view encrypted

digital programming. Certain advanced and interactive

digital cable services such as video-on-demand, a cable

operator’s enhanced program guide and data-enhanced

television services may require the use of a set-top box.

For more information call your local cable company.

Caution

Adjust only those controls that are covered in the

instructions, as improper changes or modifications not

expressly approved by HITACHI could void the user’s

warranty.

Note

Warning

• There are no user serviceable parts inside the

television.

• Model and serial numbers are indicated on back side

of the television.

• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not

expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

• The television should not be exposed to dripping or

splashing and objects filled with liquids, such as

vases, should not be placed on the television.

Prevention of screen burn

This Wide Screen TV is designed to display wide

screen pictures. Images should be viewed mostly in

wide screen format or zoomed to fit the screen with

moving pictures. Use of side panels, top and bottom

panels of standard picture formats should only be 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.

Continuous on-screen displays such as video games,

stock market quotations, computer generated graphics,

and other fixed (non-moving) patterns can cause

permanent damage to television receivers. Such

“SCREEN BURNS” constitute misuse and are NOT

COVERED by your HITACHI Factory Warranty.

Warning

• Do not place any objects on the top of the television

which may fall or cause a child to climb to retrieve

the objects.

• Projection TV’s are heavy and can mark or damage

floor surfaces (especially wood flooring) if moved

improperly. Do not slide or force TV into position.

Always roll TV allowing casters at bottom of unit to

help steer and position the TV.

How to set up your new HITACHI Projection Television

ANTENNA

Unless your TV 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.

NOTE: Your new HDTV has a built-in high definition television signal processor. This television includes a fan

to cool the processor. The sound of moving air from the fan is normal and may be noticeable in very

quiet environments.

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.

BEST

VERTICAL VIEWING

ANGLE

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.

10'

15'

20'

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

VIEWING ANGLE

4" Minimum

CAUTION: Magnetic fields, such as those of external speakers, may cause the picture to distort if

they are placed too close to the television. Move the magnetic field source away from the television

until there is no picture distortion.

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 Cable

This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an

antenna adapter (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).

Phono Cable

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.

“F” Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Cable

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

antenna jack on the television.

S-Video (Super Video) Cable

This cable is used on camcorders, VCRs and laser-

disc players with an S-Video feature in place of the

standard video cable to produce a high quality picture.

Optical Cable

This cable is used to connect to an audio amplifier with

an Optical Audio In jack. Use this cable for the best

sound quality.

HDMI Cable

This cable is used to connect your external devices

such as Set-Top-Boxes or DVD players equipped with

an HDMI output connection to the TV’s HDMI input.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACK PANEL

VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CATV (Cable TV)

When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, connect

CATV coaxial cable to the CABLE (75-Ohm) terminal. If

you have an antenna, connect the coaxial cable to the

AIR terminal.

VHF (300-Ohm) antenna/UHF antenna

When using a 300-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.

When both VHF and UHF antennas are

connected

Attach an optional antenna cable mixer to the TV

antenna terminal, and connect the cables to the

antenna mixer. Consult your dealer or service store for

the antenna mixer.

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.

Auto Digital Convergence Adjustment

Please turn ON your television for at least 20 minutes

before using this feature.

The MAGIC FOCUS button on control panel will not

work when adjustment mode is set to MANUAL (see

page 50 or 51).

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”.

MAGIC

FOCUS

M A G I C F O C U S

>>>>>

<<<<<

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 located on the front control

panel, which allows the TV to self-adjust. Press this MAGIC FOCUS button and the convergence self adjustment

will start and this process will take approximately 20 seconds. If this button is pressed during this process, no

change in picture quality will occur. After this 20 second self-adjust period, picture quality will be optimum (do not

move the TV during self-adjust).

You may also select MAGIC FOCUS TUNE UP from the Setup Menu.

Setup

Video

NOTE: 1. Only a momentary press of the MAGIC

FOCUS button is necessary to start AUTO

DIGITAL CONVERGENCE. At any time

during this convergence correction

process, you may press the MAGIC

FOCUS button to exit the MAGIC FOCUS

mode. However, the convergence

correction process needs to be completed

Equipment Care and Troubleshooting

DO NOT

Dust the screen and cabinet with a soft cloth.

Do not clean your screen or cabinet with strong

cleaners, polishes or a chemically treated 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.

Do not place rubber or vinyl products or cellophane

tape on your Television.

Place your Television away from extreme heat,

humidity, and extremely dusty places.

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.

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.

Avoid placing the remote control or the Simple 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..

TROUBLESHOOTING

HITACHI Projection Television incorporates advanced power surge protection technology designed to protect

against component or circuit damage due to external or internal voltage power surges.

IF YOUR TELEVISION SHOULD APPEAR TO HAVE A LOSS OF POWER, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS

PROCEDURE:

1. Press the POWER

SWITCH (ON/OFF

SWITCH) once.

2. If there is still no power,

wait 30 seconds and

press the POWER

SWITCH again.

3. If there is still no power,

unplug the power cord

from the wall. Wait 30

seconds and plug the

power cord back in.

Press the POWER

SWITCH again.

This protective technology

should provide for years of

lasting entertainment from

your HITACHI Projection

Television.

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.

BLOCK NOISE (DIGITAL INPUT):

Fuzzy blocks may appear in some area or the whole area of the screen. This is

usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps,

electrical drills, ghosting of the image and weak signals.

BLACK SCREEN:

When using an antenna, weak signals will display a black screen. It may be

necessary to upgrade your antenna.

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.
