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.

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.

FIRST TIME USE

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

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACK PANEL

VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CATV (Cable TV)

When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, connect the outdoor antenna or CATV coaxial cable to the ANT A (75-Ohm) terminal. If you have a second antenna or cable TV system, connect the coaxial cable to the ANTB terminal.

VHF (300-Ohm) antenna/UHF antenna

When using a 300-Ohm twin lead from an outdoor antenna, connect the VHF or UHF antenna leads to screws of the VHF or UHF adapter. Plug the adapter into the antenna terminal on the TV.

When both VHF and UHF antennas are connected

Attach an optional antenna cable mixer to the TV antenna terminal, and connect the cables to the antenna mixer. Consult your dealer or service store for the antenna mixer.

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 adapter (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).

Phono Connector

Used on all standard video and audio cables which connect to inputs and outputs located on the television’s rear jack panel and front control panel.

“F” Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector

For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to the antenna jack on the television.

S-Video (Super Video) Connector

This connector is used on camcorders, VCRs and laser- disc players with an S-Video feature in place of the standard video cable to produce a high quality picture.

IR Mouse Cable (Provided)

AV NET LEARNING WIZARD

This function of the AV NET makes it more expandable because it allows the user to use equipment that is not supported by the pre-code library, listed on page 22. For example, after programming your equipment to the AV NETand the soft keys do not work, the user just has to follow the steps below. The AV NET Learning Wizard will transfer any remote button IR code of your equipment to the soft keys of your AV NET. If all remote button transfers are successful, the user can now control their equipment by using the TV remote control.

NOTE: It is very important to point the equipment’s remote control directly to the LEARNING AVNET sensor located on the TV

screen (see page 7) while trying to transfer the desired remote control button to the AV NET.

Sound Enhancement

The following surround settings will reproduce the “live” sound you would hear in concert halls, sports stadiums, movie theaters, etc. with only two channels.

To enter Sound Enhancement, use THUMB STICK  or  to highlight then press down on THUMB STICK to select Sound Enhancement of your choice (Off, SRS, BBE, and SRS and BBE).

Based on the principles of the human hearing system, SRS technology delivers and exciting and realistic 3D Sound experience from just two external speakers (or) the two channel speakers of your HITACHI REAR LCD television. If your HITACHI REAR LCD television is connected to an external audio system, SRS will also create an incredible 3D sound experience from two speakers and even enhance a complete multi-speaker surround sound system.

Technology

Sound reproduction quality enhancement system. The BBE technology produces sound that is natural and crisp from just two speakers (or) the two channel speakers of your HITACHI REAR LCD television. If your HITACHI REAR LCD television is connected to an external audio system, BBE will also create an incredible crisp sound experience from two speakers and even more complete and accurate reproduction of the original performance. 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.

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. Amild 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” or “AAA” 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.
