HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI LCD REAR PTV

ANTENNA

Unless your LCD Rear PTV 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.

When installing your LCD Rear PTV against a wall, keep it at least 10 cm (4 inches) from the wall.

VIEWING

The major benefit of the HITACHI LCD Rear PTV 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.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. Since LCD Rear PTV incorporates a high pressure lamp to display an image, it may take about one minute for the picture to

become stable, after the power has been turned on. After extended use, the picture may darken, the color may look unusual,

or the lamp “goes out,” (burns out). You may hear a “pop” sound when the lamp “goes out.” These are common

characteristics of the lamp, and should not be considered defective.

2. LCD Rear PTV incorporates an advanced cooling fan system to prevent from overheating. If you hear the cooling fan, it should

not be considered defective.

3. If you hear a “cracking” sound from the TV cabinet, it is due to the TV’s cabinet expanding and contracting due to room

temperature changes. It has no effect on the TV’s functions.

4. The LCD Rear PTV cabinet is constructed with all plastic. Make sure to place it on a flat surface. An uneven surface might

warp the cabinet and reduce the picture quality.

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.

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, HDMI or DVI input (Ex. 480p, 720p, 1080i), Auto Movie Mode will not be

available (grayed out).

BBE

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 found in your HITACHI television. If your HITACHI

television is connected to an external audio system, BBE will also create an incredible crisp sound experi-

ence from two speakers. 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.

appropriately with humor or caricature or in an

unrealistic manner.

8 + General - Not recommended for young

children - Programming intended for a broad

portrayals.

Programming may not be suitable for

children under the age of 13 - Contains either

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 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 as soon as possible to preserve the remote control precodes that were

set for the devices. Pressing a remote control button with a “DEAD” battery might erase all precodes in memory. 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.
