Projection TV’s are heavy and can mark or damage floor surfaces (especially wood flooring) if moved improperly. Do not  
slide or force TV into position. Always roll TV allowing casters at bottom of unit to help steer and position the TV.  
PREVENTION OF SCREEN BURN  
This Wide Screen TV is designed to display wide screen pictures. Images should be viewed mostly in wide screen format or  
zoomed to fill the screen with moving pictures. Use of side panels, top and bottom panels of standard picture formats should only  
be 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. Continuous on-screen displays such as video games, stock market quotations, computer gen-  
erated graphics, and other fixed (non-moving) patterns can cause permanent damage to television receivers. Such “SCREEN  
BURNS” constitute misuse and are NOT COVERED by your HITACHI Factory Warranty.  
PUBLIC VIEWING OF COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL  
Public viewing of programs broadcast by TV stations and cable companies, as well as programs from other sources, may require  
prior authorization from the broadcaster or owner of the video program material.

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 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.  
300-Ohm Twin Lead Connector  
S-Video (Super Video) Connector  
This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an  
antenna adapter (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).  
This connector is used on camcorders, VCRs and laser-  
disc players with an S-Video feature in place of the  
standard video cable to produce a high quality picture.  
Phono Connector  
Used on all standard video and audio cables which con-  
nect to inputs and outputs located on the television’s  
rear jack panel and front control panel.  
Digital Visual Interface (DVI) Connection Cable  
This cable is used to connect external devices with DVI-  
HDTV output capability.  
“F” Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector

antenna jack on the television.  
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACK PANEL  
VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CATV (Cable TV)  
To outdoor antenna  
or CATV cable  
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.

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.  
Before Operating External Video Source  
The input mode is changed every time the VID1~VID5 button is pressed as shown below. Connect an external source to the INPUT

2. The DVI-HDTV 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 DVI connections to  
prevent illegal copying of video contents.  
3. DVI 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 DVI interface so proper set-up of device user settings determines  
final video appearance.

HOW TO USE THE REMOTE TO  
CONTROL YOUR TV  
ቱ ASPECT button  
Press this button to quickly change the picture format ASPECT ratio.  
Depending on the input signal, the picture format ratio allows you to adjust the images through the following options.  
4:3 Standard  
Use this aspect mode to display conventional (4:3) images. Side panels (gray areas) are placed to the  
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 black 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.

HOW TO USE THE REMOTE TO CONTROL YOUR TV  
ቲ VIRTUAL HD button  
Press this button to toggle between 1080i and 540p.  
540p and 1080i represent two ways to display the TV signal.  
•
•
Progressive: The “p” in 540p tells you that the display is showing you the picture in the progressive format.With the  
progressive format the complete picture is created by drawing lines across the screen from left to right which fill the screen  
from the top to the bottom. If you look very closely at the screen there will be a very small space between each line. The  
progressive format is good for displaying fast moving programs such as a sporting event.  
Interlaced: The “i” in 1080i tells you that the display is showing you the picture in the interlaced format. With the interlaced  
format the picture is created by drawing lines across the screen from left to right which fill the screen from top to bottom, and  
then returning to the top and drawing another set of lines in between the first set. The TV draws the lines so fast that our  
eyes can’t see them. If you look very closely at the screen you will notice a smoother image than with the progressive  
format. The interlaced format is good for displaying detailed images like feature films.  
•
You can compare the progressive and interlaced formats by toggling the “VIRTUAL HD” button on the remote control. Some  
people like the crisp picture from 540p and some people like the smooth and detailed 1080i. Hitachi offers you the choice.  
NOTE: The VIRTUAL HD button will not change the picture with a 1080i HDTV input. HDTV signals bypass the VIRTUAL HD  
circuitry and are shown in their native 1080i format.  
ታ MENU button  
The MENU button will start the On-Screen Display.  
ቴ EXIT button  
When in MENU mode, this button will exit all On-Screen Displays.  
ት THUMB STICK/SELECT button  
All the On-Screen Display features can be set or adjusted by using the THUMB STICK, except for numeric entries.  
The THUMB STICK will highlight functions or adjust and set different features. Press the THUMB STICK toward desired direction  
and press down to SELECT.

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 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 SWAP button on the remote. The green highlighted channel  
display will move with every press of the SWAP 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.

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 or DVI-HDTV input (Ex. 480p, 720p), 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).

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 speak-  
ers (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.

Auto Digital Convergence Adjustment  
Please turn ON your television for at least 20 minutes before using this feature.  
The Magic Focus button on control panel will not work when adjustment mode is set to Manual (see page 57).  
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 will start and this process will take  
approximately 20 seconds. If this button is pressed during this process, no change in picture quality will occur. After this 20 second  
self-adjust period, picture quality will be optimum. (Do not move the TV during self-adjust.)  
You may also select MAGIC FOCUS TUNE UP from the Setup Menu.  
MAGIC FOCUS  
MAGIC  
FOCUS  
NOTES: Only a momentary press of the MAGIC FOCUS button is necessary to start AUTO DIGITAL CONVERGENCE. At any  
time during this convergence correction process, you may press the MAGIC FOCUS button to exit the MAGIC FOCUS  
mode. However, the convergence correction process needs to be completed to SAVE the new corrected convergence  
data.

To move the adjustment point cursor using the THUMBSTICK, the Adjustment Cursor must be WHITE. Another way to move the  
Adjustment Point Cursor is to press the following buttons: [2] up, [4] left, [5] down, [6] right. If you use the number buttons while the  
adjustment point is WHITE, it will change to RED.  
To Change the Color of Adjustment Point  
Press the SELECT button repeatedly (WHITE-RED-BLUE-WHITE...). Green color is fixed and cannot be adjusted.  
To Adjust the Convergence

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 or the Simple 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. 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.

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.
