•This digital television is capable of receiving analog basic, digital basic and digital premium cable television programming by direct connection to a cable system providing such programming. A CableCARD provided by your cable operator is required to view encrypted digital programming. Certain advanced and interactive digital cable services such as video-on-demand, a cable operator’s enhanced program guide and data-enhanced television services may require the use of a set-top box. For more information call your local cable company.

•Do not place any objects on the top of the television which may fall or cause a child to climb to retrieve the objects.

•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 fit 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 generated 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.

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.

NOTE: Your new HDTV has a built-in high definition television signal processor. This television includes a fan to cool the processor. The sound of moving air from the fan is normal and maybe noticeable in very quiet environments.

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.

CONNECTING EXTERNAL VIDEO SOURCES

The exact arrangement you use to connect the VCR, camcorder, laserdisc player, DVD player, or HDTV Set Top Box to your TV set is 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 particular assortment of components and features. For best performance, video and audio cables should be made from coaxial shielded wire.

Before Operating External Video Source

Connect an external source to the INPUT terminal, then press the INPUTS button to show the INPUTS menu. Use the CURSOR PAD to select the Antenna and Input of your choice. Then press the SELECT button to confirm your choice (see page 24).

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 HDMI 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 HDMI connections to prevent illegal copying of video contents.

3.HDMI 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 HDMI interface so proper set-up of device user settings determines final video appearance.

Press this button to quickly change the picture format ASPECT ratio.

Depending on the input signal format received, 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 gray 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	Use these aspect modes to zoom in on conventional (4:3) sources.
16:9 STANDARD		Use this aspect mode to display 16:9 sources like HDTV and DVD’s preserving the original 16:9 aspect
		ratio.
