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.

DO NOT
Do not clean your screen or cabinet with strong cleaners, polishes, or chemically treated cloth.
Do not place rubber or vinyl products or cellophane tape on your set.
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 one old battery with one new AA size battery.
74
¥ 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
DEMAND MOI!
ASK ME!
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 higher­quality 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.

Astandard 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
Astandard 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 HDTV­Ready.
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.
