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.

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.

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

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 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.

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

Please turn on your television for at least 20 minutes before using this feature.

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 15 seconds. If this button is pressed during this process, no change in picture quality will occur. After this 15 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.

If you receive an image with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the image will be displayed at that ratio on your HDTV unless you specify otherwise.

The Picture Format menu allows you to adjust the image through the following options:

Normal Choose this when receiving a 4:3 image and you want the on-screen

appearance of the video to be a centered picture with side panels

(blank areas) on the right and left sides.

Full

Choose this when you want the television to adjust the 4:3 image

horizontally so it fills your 16:9 screen. No side panels will be added,

and the image is vertically unaltered. This setting is especially useful

for viewing 16:9 formatted DVDs.

ASPECT STYLE

Fill

This function allows you to select when receiving either NTSC or

SDTV. Full screen picture is available in this mode when

receiving letterbox signal. Both vertical edges will be hidden if you

select Fill for ordinary 4:3 picture.

Some digital (ATSC format)

stations may transmit 4:3

images in a way that will

not allow expansion. You

will be unable to adjust the

picture format.

Smooth Wide This function allows you to select when receiving either NTSC or

SDTV signal. 4:3 picture is expanded horizontally as being close

to both left and right sides. It keeps 4:3 ratio in the center of the

picture, then expands as it is close to both left and right edge of

the picture to show picture distortion minimized. This function

allows you to watch picture without side panel for 4:3.

V. POSITION

This function allows you to select when aspect style is either Full or Fill or Smooth Wide. Vertical position can be changed with this

mode. For example, it will be useful for centering the picture when there is gray area at both top and bottom of the picture with HDTV

signal. Adjustable range is -10 (video center is toward bottom of screen) to +10 (video center is toward top of screen).

COMPONENT COLOR TYPE

This function allows you to automatically change tint and color coordinates for DTV programs.

NOTES: 1. The aspect Style setting you select for an ANT input will automatically be set for the other ANT input. However, all five

video inputs have independent Aspect Style settings.

2. You will not be able to access the V. Position menu if Aspect Style-Normal is set.

3. You will only be able to access the Aspect Style menu when viewing a 4:3-480i or 480P. When viewing a 16:9-1080i

or 720P input you will not be able to access this menu. FULL mode will be automatically selected

4. If COMPONENT COLOR TYPE is set improperly (does not match actual input signal), the color and tint of the main

picture will be abnormal.

5. You must be tuned to VIDEO: 4 or 5 input and have a component hooked up to the Y-P P input jacks to

access this component color type.

6. All component color type settings will affect only color component input you are currently viewing. If you are using

both sets of component input jacks, be sure to set the component color type feature for both inputs.

7. When 1080i signal is input, Video Display menu will not be accessible.

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.

performance and pleasure, depending upon the video program being viewed. However, if RESET is selected, all modes will reset to the

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.

Dolby Pro Logic provides four separate sound channels: front left, center, front 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
