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.

NOTES: 1. Completely insert the connection cord plugs when connecting to rear panel jacks. The picture and sound that is

played back will be abnormal if the connection is loose.

2. The DVI-HDTV input on INPUT 1 or INPUT 2 (Models: 57/65X500) 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.

CONNECTING AV NETWORK

Your Hitachi Television is equipped with an AV Network feature. This feature helps to control your external Audio/Video equipment

(VCR, Set Top Box, DVD, etc.). Once this is setup, it allows your IR Mouse connector to control your equipment using your Hitachi

TV Remote Control. You can use your Hitachi remote control to control the Audio/Video equipment command without the equip-

ment’s remote control.

The Television rear panel has 2 IR BLASTER jacks. Each IR Mouse cable can connect up to 2 external Audio/Video components.

Therefore, you can connect the Television with up to four components. Please see the following example of an AV Network setup

between your Hitachi Television and external Audio/Video equipment (VCR and DVD Player).

CONNECTING EXTERNAL AUDIO/VIDEO COMPONENTS TO IR BLASTER FOR AV NETWORK

Connect your external Audio/Video components to the Rear Panel jacks as shown on pages 15~19.

Connect the IR Mouse cable to the IR BLASTER input of the Television’s rear panel.

Place the IR mouse in front of the infrared sensor of the external components you wish to control.

AV NET LEARNING WIZARD

This function of the AV NET makes it more expandable because it allows the user to use equipment that is not supported by the

pre-code library, listed on page 22. For example, after programming your equipment to the AV NET and the soft keys do not work,

the user just has to follow the steps below. The AV NET Learning Wizard will transfer any remote button IR code of your equip-

ment to the soft keys of your AV NET. If all remote button transfers are successful, the user can now control their equipment by

using the TV remote control.

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 expanding the outer edges of the image

to fill the 16:9 screen. The center of the image remains unaltered.

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

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.

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 65).

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.

CARE OF YOUR HITACHI TELEVISION

AND YOUR REMOTE CONTROL

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” or “AAA” 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.
