• This digital television is capable of receiving analog basic, digital basic and digital premium cable television programming by direct con-
nection 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• PUBLIC VIEWING OF COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL
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.
• This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights.

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 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 maybe 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.
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.

CONNECTING EXTERNAL VIDEO SOURCES
The exact arrangement you use to connect the VCR, camcorder, laserdisc player, DVD player, or HDTV Set Top Box to your TV set is
dependent on the model and features of each component. Check the owner’s manual of each component for the location of video and
audio inputs and outputs.
The following connection diagrams are offered as suggestions. However, you may need to modify them to accommodate your particu-
lar assortment of components and features. For best performance, video and audio cables should be made from coaxial shielded
wire.
Before Operating External Video Source
Connect an external source to the INPUT terminal, then press the INPUTS button to show the INPUTS menu. Use the CURSOR PAD
to select the Antenna and Input of your choice. Then press the SELECT button to confirm your choice (see page 24).

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.

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 experi-
ence 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 56 or 57).
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 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.

NOTE:
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 to SAVE the new corrected convergence
data.

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 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.

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.
