HOW "ro 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 q-V antenna i.'; 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.

TOavoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where: tem- peratures 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 varioL_slocations in the room to find the best spot for viewing. The drawings below give several suggestions.

The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the TV and about 10 to 18 feet from the ..screen. Picture bright- ness 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 4 feet from toe side of the.=TV, place the surround speakers to the side or behind the viewing area. Differences in room sizes aqd

acoustical environments will require some experimentation with speaker placement for best performance.

CAUTION:

The magnetic field of external speakers may cause the picture to distort if the speakers are

placed too ,close to the television. Move the speakers away from the: TV 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 cDnnectors. For best performance, video cables should use 75-Ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables can be pur- chased 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 coml:one.nts.

Also make sure the cables are the correct length.

300-Ohm Twin Lead Connector This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an

antenn_ adapter (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).

Phono Connector Used on all standard video and audio cables which con-

nect to inputs and outputs located on the television's rear jack panel and front control panel.

ANTENINA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACK PANEL

VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CAW (cable "rv)

When _fsing 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 ANT B

terminal.

:)ICTURE-IN-PICTURE (PIP)

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 MAIN and PIP sub-pictures simultaneously, with separate tun-

ng control for each. The Dual Tuner can operate with only one input (ANT A only) or two inputs (ANT A and ANT B).

ZkNTA input can be viewed as both the main picture and the sub-picture simultaneously. ANT B can only be viewed asa main picture. To select between main picture and PIP sub-picture tuning, press the PIP CH button on the remote. The arrow qext to the channel display will move with every press of the PIP CH button. When the arrow is next to the

INITIAL SETUP

I CONVE;RGENCE AE)JUST [

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 prod,Jo, 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 -IV. 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.

To simplify convergence, the following feature allows you to display a test pattern of horizontal and vertical lines

on the screen. Properly converged, the lines appear white, which is actually a combination of the outputs ol: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.

RECEPTION PROBLEMS

• IGNITION NOISE: Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift.

Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, qeon 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 sorne 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 ,.setsto 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.
