SAFETY TIPS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAFETY POINTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
YOUR HITACHI PROJECTION TELEVISION
CAUTION:
* Read all of these instructions.
* Save these instructions for later use.
* Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the television.
Our reputation has been built on the quality, performance, and ease of service of HITACHI televisions.
Safety is also foremost in our minds in the design of these units. To help you operate these products
properly, this section illustrates safety tips which will be of benefit to you. Please read it carefully and
apply the knowledge you obtain from it to the proper operation of your HITACHI television.
Please fill out your warranty card and mail it to HITACHI. This will enable HITACHI to notify you
promptly in the improbable event that a safety problem should be discovered in your product model.
FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY
1 This television set is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug.
2 When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed, unplug this television set from the wall outlet and
refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
3 Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in fire or electric shock.
4 Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the television where the
power cord is subject to traffic or abuse. This may result in a shock or fire hazard.
5 Do not attempt to service this television yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
6 Never push objects of any kind into this television set through the television cabinet's slots as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the television.
7 If the television has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged, unplug this television from the wall
outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
8 If liquid has been spilled into this television set, unplug it from the wall outlet and refer service to
qualified service personnel.
9 Do not subject your television to impact of any kind. Be careful not to damage the picture tube surface.
10 Unplug this television from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use
liquid or aerosol cleaners.
3
11-1 Do not place this television on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The television may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart or stand
recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the television. Wall or shelf mounting should follow the
Wall/Shelf mounting manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting kit approved by the

PROTECTION AND LOCATION OF YOUR TELEVISION
16-1 If an outside antenna is connected to the television , be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70-1975, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit connection to grounding electrode, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
INSTRUCTIONS.
16-2 Note to CATV system installer: (Only for television with CATV reception) This reminder is
provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides
guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
17 An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electrical lights or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as
4

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 the 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.
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.
8
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

CONVERGENCE ADJ.
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 colors 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 feature to allow you to display a test pattern of 1
horizontal and 1 vertical line at the center of the screen. Simply use the remote control to adjust the red and
blue colors to match the green. When properly aligned, the outputs of all three tubes should be directly
over each other to produce the white lines.
To enter this self-adjust mode, you may also select CONVERGENCE ADJ. from the SETUP menu.

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 with 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
instance, 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. Don't 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.
