How to set up your new HITACHI Projection Television  
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. When  
using your LCD Rear PTV against a wall, keep it at least 10cm (4 inches) from the wall.  
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 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.

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

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).  
Phono Connector  
Used on all standard video and audio cables which  
connect to inputs and outputs located on the  
television’s rear jack panel and side control panel.  
“F” Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector  
For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to the  
antenna jack on the television.  
S-Video (Super Video) Connector  
This connector 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.  
IR Mouse Cable/G-LINK Cable (Provided)  
Connect the IR Mouse to the IR Blaster output of your  
LCD Television when A/V Network is used. You must  
place the IR Mouse in front of the corresponding IR  
window of your cable box and VCR. This connection  
allows your TV, and the TV Guide On ScreenTM system,  
to control your cable box and/or VCR.  
USB Cable  
This cable is used to connect your digital camera to the  
Photo Input in the side of the LCD television.  
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  
6

Connecting External Video Sources  
Your HITACHI LCD Rear Projection Television is equipped with an AV Network feature. This feature helps to  
control your external Audio/Video equipment (VCR, Set Top Box, DVD, etc.). Once this is setup, it allows  
your IR Mouse connector to control your equipment using your HITACHI LCD Rear PTV Remote Control.  
You can use your HITACHI remote control to control the Audio/Video equipment command without the  
equipment’s remote control.  
The LCD Rear PTV Rear Panel has 2 IR BLASTER jacks. Each IR Mouse cable can connect up to 2  
external Audio/Video components. Therefore, you can connect the LCD Rear PTV with up to four  
components. Please see the following example of an AV Network setup between your HITACHI LCD Rear  
PTV and external Audio/Video equipment (VCR and DVD Player).

4. If CONTRAST is set to minimum level, the OSD will be difficult to see.  
Noise Reduction  
The NOISE REDUCTION function automatically reduces conspicuous noise in the picture without degrading  
picture quality. Set NOISE REDUCTION to OFF if the TV experiences picture blocking. When Noise Reduction is  
set to High, Sharpness function is disabled (grayed out).  
Auto Movie Mode  
The Auto Movie Mode turns the 3:2 PULLDOWN DETECTION SPECIAL FEATURE ON or OFF. Theatrical movies  
are shot on film at 24 frames or still pictures per second, instead of 30 frames or 60 fields like video. When film is  
transferred to video for television viewing, the disparity between the two frame rates must be reconciled. This  
involves a process known as 3:2 pulldown.  
When Auto Movie Mode is turned ON from the VIDEO menu, your Hitachi LCD Rear Projection Television will  
activate the circuitry for this special feature to improve video performance when watching film based sources.  
NOTE: 1. When using Progressive Scan Component, HDMI or DVI input (ex. 480p, 740p, 1080i), Auto Movie  
Mode will not be available (grayed out).

Based on the principles of the human hearing system, SRS technology delivers and exciting and  
realistic 3D Sound experience from just two external speakers (or) the two internal speakers of your HITACHI  
Television. If your HITACHI Television is connected to an external audio system, SRS will also create an incredible  
3D sound experience from two speakers and even enhance a complete multi-speaker surround sound system.

BBE  
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.

The lamp life may vary based on usage of the LCD Rear PTV. Turning on and off frequently may shorten the life of  
the lamp.  
Lamp Replacement  
After extended use, if the TV picture turns dark, the color looks unusual or LAMP INDICATOR light turns on, then it  
is time to replace the lamp with a new lamp.  
WARNING:  
The lamp gets very hot! The lamp may explode if improperly handled. To avoid injury, please observe the  
following precautions.  
•
Do not open lamp compartment or attempt to remove lamp assembly unless the lamp assembly is being  
replaced.  
•
•
Unplug the product’s power cord from the AC outlet before attempting to replace the lamp assembly.  
If the lamp is in use when failure occurs or if the lamp has exploded, wait at least 30-45 minutes for the lamp  
to cool before opening the lamp compartment or touching the lamp assembly or any broken pieces.  
Broken lamp pieces can cause injury. Handle with gloves to avoid cuts.  
Do not place any foreign objects inside the lamp compartment.

Equipment Care and Troubleshooting  
DO  
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 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.
