POWER SOURCE

THIS TELEVISION IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE ON 120 VOLTS 60Hz, AC CURRENT. INSERT THE

POWER CORD INTO A 120 VOLT 60Hz OUTLET.

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THE COLOR TELEVISION'S (POLARIZED) PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE, OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES AND GROUND TER-

MINAL CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.

NEVER CONNECT THE COLOR TELEVISION TO 50Hz, DIRECT CURRENT, OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN

THE SPECIFIED VOLTAGE.

NOTE: This television receiver wiII dispIay television cIosed captioning, (_ or __ ), in accordance with

paragraph 15.119 of the FCC rules.

_ CAUTtON: Never remove the back cover of the television as this can expose you to very high voltages and other haz_

ards. If the television does not operate properly, unplug the television and call your authorized dealer or service center.

IMPORTANT

Read before operating equipment

Follow all warningsand instructionsmarkedon this television,

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

15.Televisions are designed to comply with the recom- mended safety standards for tilt and stability. Do not apply excessive pulling force to the front, or top, of the cabinet which could cause the product to over- turn resulting in product damage and/or personal injury.

16. Follow instructions for wall, shelf or ceiling mounting as recommended by the manufacturer.

17. An outdoor antenna should not be located in the vicin- ity of overhead power lines or other elec_dcat circuits.

18. If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide

some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electdc Code, ANSIiNFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding for the mast and sup- porting strccture, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the ground- ing electrode.

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

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

by your HITACHI Factory Warranty

Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided tocall the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding sys- tem of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI PROJECTION TV

ANTENNA

Unless your ]'v' 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 infront 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 HFFi 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.

4' MINIMUM

CAUTION: Magnetic fields, such as those of external speakers, may cause the picture to distort if they are placed too

HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS

Most video/audio connections between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables that have phone connectors

For best performance, video cables should use 75_Ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables can be purchased from most stores that sell audiofvideo 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.

S_VlDEO connections are provided for high performance laserdisc players, VCRs etc. that have this feature. Use these connec_ tions in place of the standard video connection if your device has this feature.

If your device has only one audio output (mono sound), connect it to the left audio jack on the television. Refer to the operating guide of your other electronic equipment for additional information on connecting your hook_up cables.

A single VCR can be used for VCR #1 and VCR #2, but note that a VCR cannot record its own video or line output (IN PUT: 3 in the example on page 11 or 12). Refer to your VCR operating guide for more information on line input_output connections.

You may use VIDEO or S_VIDEO inputs to connect to Input 3, Input 4 or Input 5, but only one of these may be used at a time.

Connect only 1 component (VCR, DVD player, camcorder, etc.) to each input jack.

COMPONENT," Y_PBPR (Input 1 &2) connections are provided for high performance components, such as DVD players and set- top-boxes. Use these connections in place of the standard video connection if your device has this feature. Input 2 accepts both composite and component video signals.
