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.  
''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).  
Phono Connector  
S-VIDEO (Super Video) Connector  
Used on all standard video and audio cables which connect to  
inputs and outputs located on the television’s rear jack panel and  
front control panel.  
This connector is used on camcorders, VCRs, and laserdisc  
players with an S-VIDEO feature in place of the standard video  
cable to produce a high quality picture.  
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACK PANEL  
To outdoor antenna  
or CATV cable  
VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CATV (Cable TV)  
When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, connect the outdoor  
antenna or CATV coaxial cable to the ANT A (75-Ohm) terminal. If  
you have a second antenna or cable TV system, connect the coaxial  
cable to the ANT B terminal.

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).

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.  
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 located on the front control panel, which allows the TV  
to self-adjust. Press this MAGIC FOCUS button and the convergence self adjustment willl start and this process will take approximately  
40 seconds. If this button is pressed during this process, no change in picture quality will occur. After this 40 second self-adjust period,  
picture quality will be optimum. (Do not move the TV during self-adjust.)  
You may also select MAGIC FOCUS from the SETUP Menu.  
MAGIC  
FOCUS  
MAGIC FOCUS  
NOTES: 1. For MAGIC FOCUS to perform at it’s best, the television must be turned “ON” and heat run for a minimum of 20  
minutes before pressing MAGIC FOCUS on the front panel.  
2. 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.

The Video Display feature allows you to display 1080i or 540P signal mode. This feature is not available if Aspect 5 (1080i through mode)  
is selected.  
NOTE:  
1. If Comp Color Type is set improperly (does not match actual input signal), the color and tint of the main picture will be  
abnormal.  
2. You must be tuned to VIDEO: 4 or 5 input and have a component hooked up to the Y-P P input jacks to  
B R  
access all Picture Formats menu.  
3. All settings will affect only the component input you are currently viewing. If you are using both sets of component  
input jacks, be sure to set the Picture Formats feature for both inputs (set VIDEO:4 AND  
VIDEO:5).  
4. Aspect 5 is for 1080i signal format only. Selecting Aspect 5 allows the 1080i signals to appear on the TV screen as  
the broadcaster sends them. Aspect 5 does not allow the 1080i to go to the TV’s internal flex converter.  
5. Aspect 5 must be selected from the OSD menu at all times. The aspect button on the remote control will skip the  
Aspect 5 feature.  
6. Using Aspect 5 will shorten the life of the PRT guns due to no gray panel at the top and bottom of the TV screen.

MOVIE MODE 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 MOVIE MODE is selected from the THEATER menu, your Hitachi Projection Television will activate the circuitry for this  
special feature to improve video performance when watching film based sources. This 3:2 pulldown detection will only work  
in MOVIE MODE.  
When MUSIC mode is chosen, the following are automatically set:  
CONTRAST - 75%, COLOR TEMPERATURE - COOL, LOUDNESS - OFF, PERFECT VOLUME - OFF, SURROUND - SRS and BBE.  
When SPORTS mode is chosen, the following are automatically set:  
CONTRAST - 100%, COLOR TEMPERATURE - COOL, BASS - 63%, LOUDNESS - OFF, PERFECT VOLUME - OFF,

You can customize each of the above modes (NEWS, MOVIE, MUSIC and SPORTS) to your preference to increase viewing performance  
and pleasure, depending upon the video program being viewed. However, if RESET is selected, all modes will reset to the initial  
conditions as explained above.  
When RESET is selected, it will take approximately two seconds to return to factory conditions (SPORTS mode).

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.

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 of 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 and even more complete and accurate  
reproduction of the original performance. 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.  
BBE functions the same manner on TV mode and on VIDEO mode.

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.  
61  
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.
