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 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.

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 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

Your HITACHI Projection TV incorporates Dual Tuner technology designed for improved viewing enjoyment. This Dual Tuner feature allows you to view antenna inputs on both the main picture and sub-picture simultaneously, with separate tuning control for each. The Dual Tuner can operate with only one input (ANT A only) or two inputs (ANT A and ANT B).

ANT A input can be viewed as both the main picture and the sub-picture simultaneously. ANT B can only be viewed as a main picture. To select between main picture and PIP sub-picture tuning, press the PIP CH button on the remote. The highlighted channel display will move with every press of the PIP CH button. When the top channel display is highlighted, channel tuning is for the main picture. When the lower channel display is highlighted, channel tuning is for the PIP sub-picture. This method of picture tuning is the same for one antenna input (ANT A only) and two antenna inputs (ANT A and ANT B).

The Picture-in-Picture feature is convenient when you want to watch more than one program at the same time. You can watch a TV program while viewing other programs from the ANT A source or any of the video inputs.

Use above connection to view VCR program as a sub-picture while viewing another program as main picture (ANT A, ANT B, V:2 V:3 or V:4 input). You may also view the VCR program as a main picture while viewing another program as a sub-picture (ANT A, V:2, V:3 or V:4 input).

 PIP button

Press the PIP button and a sub-picture will appear in one of the two different modes (SINGLE or SURF), depending on the last selection of the PIP mode. To change the PIP mode, use the PIP MODE button to cycle through the two different modes.

SINGLE MODE PIP

Press the PIP button a fourth time to remove the sub-picture from the screen. Use the PIP CH button to select between main and sub-picture tuning control (indicated by highlighted channel display.) Press the INPUT button when sub-picture channel tuning is being controlled, to change between VIDEO: 1, VIDEO: 2, VIDEO: 3, VIDEO:4 and ANT A antenna source.

Please turn on your television for at least 20 minutes before using this feature.

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 willl start and this process will take approximately 15 seconds. If this button is pressed during this process, no change in picture quality will occur. After this 15 second self-adjust period, picture quality will be optimum. (Do not move the TV during self-adjust.)

You may also select MAGIC FOCUS from the SETUP Menu.

NOTES:

1. For Magic Focus to perform at it s best, the television must be turned ON and heat run for a minimum of 20 minutes before pressing Magic Focus on the front panel.

2. Only a momentary press of the MAGIC FOCUS button is necessary to start AUTO DIGITAL CONVERGENCE. At anytime during this convergence correction process, you may press the MAGIC FOCUS button to exit the MAGIC FOCUS mode.

To enter the SURROUND MODE, use THUMB STICK  or  to highlight then press down on THUMB STICK to select SURROUND MODE of your choice.

TruSurround is a Dolby

-certified technology that allows for a virtualized surround sound experience from a two-speaker playback using any multichannel audio source, including Dolby Digital, Dolby Surround or Dolby Pro Logic. TruSurround retains all of the original audio information of the multi-channel audio source giving the listener the sensory perception that they are surrounded by additional

phantom speakers. This completely immersive sound experience is achieved through only two standard stereo speakers.

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 internal speakers of your HITACHI Television. If your HITACHI 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 multispeaker surround sound system.

SURROUND OFF

CARE OF YOUR HITACHI PROJECTION TV AND YOUR REMOTE CONTROL

Dust the screen and cabinet with a soft cloth.

Clean the screen with a dry cloth.

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 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.

Page 56

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.
