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.  
300-Ohm Twin Lead Connector  
This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an antenna  
adapter (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).  
''F'' Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector  
For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to the antenna  
terminal on the television.  
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

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 UHF/VHF (75-Ohm) 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.

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 the antenna input on both the main picture and sub-picture simultaneously, with separate tuning control for each. The  
Dual Tuner can operate with only one ANTENNA input.  
ANTENNA input can be viewed as both the main picture and the sub-picture simultaneously. To select between main picture and PIP  
sub-picture tuning, press the PIP CH button on the remote. Every press of the PIP CH will highlight the main or sub-picture source. The  
top channel display is the main picture and the bottom display is the 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 ANTENNA source or any of the video inputs.

DIGITAL ARRAY  
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 feature to allow you to display a test pattern of horizontal and vertical lines at 9  
different locations on 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 adjustment mode, you may also select DIGITAL ARRAY from the Set Up menu. However, this will display a message  
prompting you to press the front panel DIGITAL ARRAY button.

NOTE:

Button. If you do NOT wish to save your adjustment data into memory, turn the TV OFF or press the remote control PIP  
button. When the TV is turned ON again, your old convergence data will be restored.  
When adjusting convergence, always start at the center of the screen.

CANADIAN ENGLISH RATINGS CHART  
Programming intended for children under age 8 - Violence Guidelines; Careful  
attention is paid to themes, which could threaten children’s sense of security and well-  
being. There will be no realistic scenes of violence. Depictions of aggressive behav-  
iour will be infrequent and limited to portrayals that are clearly imaginary, comedic or  
unrealistic in nature. Other Content Guidelines: There will be no offensive language,  
nudity or sexual content.  
C
Programming generally considered acceptable for children 8 years and over to  
watch on their own - Violence Guidelines: Violence will not be portrayed as the pre-  
ferred, acceptable, or only way to resolve conflict; or encourage children to imitate dan-

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 dry cloth.  
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.  
55  
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.
