PUBLIC VIEWING OF COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL

Public viewing of programs broadcast by TV stations and cable companies, as well as programs from other sources, may require prior authorization from the broadcaster or owner of the video program material.

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 fill 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

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.

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.

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.

HOW TO USE THE REMOTE TO CONTROL YOUR TV

 VIRTUAL HD button

Press this button to toggle between 1080i and 540p. 540p and 1080i represent two ways to display the TV signal.

• Progressive: The “p” in 540p tells you that the display is showing you the picture in the progressive format.With the progressive format the complete picture is created by drawing lines across the screen from left to right which fill the screen from the top to the bottom. If you look very closely at the screen there will be a very small space between each line. The progressive format is good for displaying fast moving programs such as a sporting event.

• Interlaced: The “i” in 1080i tells you that the display is showing you the picture in the interlaced format. With the interlaced format the picture is created by drawing lines across the screen from left to right which fill the screen from top to bottom, and then returning to the top and drawing another set of lines in between the first set. The TV draws the lines so fast that our eyes can’t see them. If you look very closely at the screen you will notice a smoother image than with the progressive format. The interlaced format is good for displaying detailed images like feature films.

•You can compare the progressive and interlaced formats by toggling the “VIRTUAL HD” button on the remote control. Some people like the crisp picture from 540p and some people like the smooth and detailed 1080i. Hitachi offers you the choice.

If your HITACHI 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.

MAGIC FOCUS

Auto Digital Convergence Adjustment

Please turn ON your television for at least 20 minutes before using this feature. The Magic Focus button on control panel will not work when adjustment mode is set to Manual (see page 57). 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 picture, 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 function called MAGIC FOCUS located on the front control panel, which allows the TV to self-adjust. Press this MAGIC FOCUS button and the convergence self adjustment will start and this process will take approximately 20 seconds. If this button is pressed during this process, no change in picture quality will occur. After this 20 second self-adjust period, picture quality will be optimum. (Do not move the TV during self-adjust.)

You may also select MAGIC FOCUS TUNE UP from the Setup Menu.

Magic Focus

Tune Up

NOTES: Only a momentary press of the MAGIC FOCUS button is necessary to start AUTO DIGITAL CONVERGENCE. At any

time during this convergence correction process, you may press the MAGIC FOCUS button to exit the MAGIC FOCUS mode. However, the convergence correction process needs to be completed to SAVE the new corrected convergence data.

To Adjust the Convergence

Move the Adjustment Cursor to the point to be adjusted. Use the THUMB STICK to match the RED and BLUE colors to GREEN (reference color). Properly aligned, all three colors should appear white.

If convergence is acceptable after Manual Convergence adjustment, press EXIT button to access menu mode.

Press the [0] button on the remote control to CANCEL adjusted data and return to main picture. Press the [1] button on the remote control to SAVE adjusted data and return to main picture.

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 or the Simple 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. 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.

USEFUL INFO

HITACHI Projection Television incorporates advanced power surge protection technology designed to protect against component or circuit damage due to external or internal voltage power surges.

IF YOUR TELEVISION SHOULD APPEAR TO HAVE A LOSS OF POWER, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE:

1. Press the power switch (ON/OFF switch) once.

2. If there is still no power, wait 30 seconds and press the power switch again.

3. If there is still no power, unplug the power cord from the wall. Wait 30 seconds and plug the power cord back in. Press the power switch again.

This protective technology should provide for years of lasting entertainment from your HITACHI Projection Television.
