HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI LCD REAR PTV  
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 installing your LCD Rear PTV against a wall, keep it at least 10 cm (4 inches) from the wall.  
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.  
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.

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.  
“F” Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector  
For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to the antenna  
jack on the television.  
300-Ohm Twin Lead Connector  
This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an antenna  
adapter (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).  
S-Video (Super Video) Connector  
This connector is used on camcorders, VCRs and laser- disc

CONNECTING EXTERNAL VIDEO DEVICES  
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 partic-  
ular assortment of components and features. For best performance, video and audio cables should be made from coaxial shielded  
wire.

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.

left and right of the image to preserve the original aspect ratio of the source. Note: Use this mode for  
only 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.  
4:3 EXPANDED  
Use this aspect mode to display conventional (4:3) sources by linearly increasing image expansion from  
the center towards the edges of the display area in order to fill it.  
4:3 Zoom1/Zoom2  
16:9 STANDARD  
Use these aspect modes to zoom in on conventional (4:3) sources.  
Use this aspect mode to display 16:9 sources like HDTV and DVD’s preserving the original 16:9 aspect  
ratio.

Auto Movie Mode  
The Auto Movie Mode function turns ON or OFF the 3:2 PULLDOWN DETECTION SPECIAL FEATURE.  
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 Projection Television will activate  
the circuitry for this special feature to improve video performance when watching film based sources.  
NOTES: 1. When using Progressive Scan Component, HDMI or DVI input (Ex. 480p, 720p, 1080i), Auto Movie Mode will not be  
available (grayed out).  
2. All Video settings are independent of each other based on it’s input (ANT A/B, Input 1~5, Photo Input).

3D Sound experience from just two external speakers or the two internal speakers found in your HITACHI  
Television. SRS will also enhance a complete multi-speaker surround sound system.

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.

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 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.  
73  
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.
