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 color TV antenna is recommended for the 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.
HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS - 9 -
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 ofr 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.
300-Ohm Twin Lead Connector
This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an antenna adaptor (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).
"F" Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector

DIGITAL ARRAY
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 pictur e, 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 feature to allow you to display a test pattern of horizontal and vertical lines at 9 different locations on the screen. Simply use the remote control to adjust the red and blue colors to match the green. When properly aligned, the outputs of all three tubes should be directly over each other to produce the white lines.

Press the CURSOR buttons to move the displayed color up, down, left, or right. Press MENU to change the color you want to adjust. Press the front panel DIGITAL ARRAY button or the remote control MOVE button when adjustment is done. This will
save your adjustment into memory.
NOTE: Only a momentary press of the DIGITAL ARRAY button is necessary to enter DIGITAL ARRAY convergence adjustment mode.
Do not press the DIGITAL ARRAY button for more than three seconds. This is only for extreme cases of misconvergence and requires assistance from service.
Four lines surrounding a crosshatch indicate the point being adjusted. The color of these surrounding lines indicates the color being adjusted.
To save your adjustment data into memory, press the front panel DIGITAL ARRAY button or the remote control MOVE Button. If you do NOT wish to save your adjustment data into memory, turn the TV OFF or press the remote control PIP button. When the TV is turned ON again, your old convergence data will be restored.

CARE OF YOUR HITACHI PROJECTION TV AND YOUR REMOTE CONTROL
DO
Dust the screen and cabinet with a soft cloth. Clean the screen with a soft cloth moistened with 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 instance, 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.
RECEPTION PROBLEMS - 55 -
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. Don't 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. 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.
