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.

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 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 and COMPONENT: Y-C C input 2

sources can only be viewed as a main picture. To select between main picture and 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 90 seconds. If this button is pressed during this 90 second period, no change in picture quality will occur. After this  
90 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.

CONVERGENCE  
NOTES: 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.  
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.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC  
Dolby Pro Logic provides four separate sound channels: left, center, 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 20.

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.
