HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW

HITACHI PC READY COLOR TV

ANTENNA

Unless your PC ready color 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 back cover of the set.

To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the PC ready color TV where

temperatures can become excessively hot, for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance, etc.

VIEWING

To view the PC ready color television screen at its best, test various locations in the room. The drawings below show several

suggestions.

The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the PC ready color TV and about 6 to 9 feet from the screen. 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 PC ready color TV can be located in a different section of the room.

If the PC ready color 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 4 feet from the side of the PC ready

color television. 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: The magnetic field of external speakers may cause the picture to distort if the speakers are placed too close

to the PC ready color television. Move the speakers away from the PC ready color TV until there is no

picture distortion.

HOOKUP CABLES

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.

USEFUL INFO

¥ 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 PC ready color 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.

FEATURE INFORMATION

As the digital era dawns, Hitachi has models that provide the best possible images today....and tomorrow. Our HDTV-

Ready SDX model incorporates new Flex Converter technology to display a high quality 480 P (progressive scanning)

image; this same circuitry enables it to accept a full 1080 I HDTV signal from a digital set-top box now or in the future.

The SDX model also has a S-VGA input for 800x600 resolution from a computer.

FLEX CONVERTER TECHNOLOGY

With current analog broadcasts, there is just one level of picture quality. In the new age of digital TV, there will be

several levels. The highest, called HDTV, can be as high as 1080 I. The standard level, SDTV, can be 480 P or 480 I.

Hitachi has developed the Flex Converter, advance circuitry that allows your UltraVision SDX series television to

produce true 1080 I HDTV resolution with an HDTV set-top box, it also converts analog 480 I signals to the higher-

quality 480 P signals with no scan lines or flicker. SDX needs a set-top box to receive any Digital Signal.

COMPONENT VIDEO

A component Video input accepts separate blue, red & B/W signals from a high resolution digital source as DVD or

digital set-top box to provide a higher resolution picture.

3DYC (DIGITAL 3DYC COMB FILTER)

The Digital 3DYC Comb Filter analyzes three lines of information from a single video frame as well as lines from

adjacent frames. This technology eliminates the flickering that a detailed pattern or scene would normally cause, for

the cleanest, neatest picture possible.

PIPC (PICTURE-IN-PC)

On our 36 SDX model, Picture-in-PC allows you to display images from our computer in the main TV picture, while

displaying video (from your antenna or video inputs) in the sub-picture. You can even choose to listen to the sound

from the sub-picture.

SRS 3D SURROUND

SRS is a truly dynamic Sound Retrieval System that works whether the signal you receive is stereo or surround

encoded. Its genius is that it creates a three-dimensional sound image from only the front speakers by retrieving the

spatial information from recordings. The effect is similar to that of a live performance.

BBE HIGH DEFINITION SOUND

BBE professional systems are used in broadcasting, television and recording studios all over the world and by many

of the world s most famous musicians in their concerts to achieve the best possible sound. BBE provides a rich and

exciting presence, clarity and detail to music. Speech is clearer and more intelligible at lower volume. BBE is a boon

to those with hearing problems or for those who enjoy old movies or TV shows. Sound from TV, and even stereo,

speakers can sound muddled because certain dynamics of the original recording can be lost. BBE circuitry recreates

the clear midrange sounds and crisp highs of the original recording for your enjoyment.

PROGRESSIVE SCANNING

A standard TV uses Interlaced Scanning where each frame of video is broken into two fields, each providing alternating

scan lines. This can leave noticeable scan lines and cause flickering. With Progressive Scanning, complete frames are

displayed for a smoother picture with no scan lines and no flicker. This allows you to get the optimal picture quality from

today s high resolution digital sources such as DVD, a digital set-top box, or with a VGA input, a computer.

ULTRABLACK DIGITAL PITCH PICTURE TUBE

A standard 36 tube has a 1.0 mm dot pitch. The smaller the dots, the sharper the picture. Our 36 SDX model utilizes

the UltraBlack Digital Pitch Invar Picture Tube with an ultrafine .78 mm dot pitch, a contributing factor to make HDTV-

Ready.

DDC2B PROTOCOL SUPPORT

In order for a computer to recognize a monitor it must have DDC2B support, which you ll find in our 36 SDX model.

This allows the computer to recognize the resolution capability of that monitor and then automatically set itself to that

level without manual adjustments.
