HOW T O SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI PROJECTION TV - 11 -
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 the best performance. However, if you are located in an exceptionally good signal area that is fr ee 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 f r ee flow of air to and from the per forated 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 r oom to find the best spot for viewing. The drawings give several suggestions.
The best picture is seen by sitting directly in f r ont of the TV and about 10 to 18 f eet from the screen. Picture brightness decreases as the viewer moves to the lef t or right of the receiver.
During daylight hours, reflect ions from outside light may appear on the screen. I f 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 exter nal 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 t he pict ur e scr een center. For best stereo separation, place the external speakers at least 4 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 placem ent for best performance.
CAUTION: The magnetic field of external speakers may cause the TV picture to
Page 12
HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS - 12 -
distort if the speaker s ar e placed t oo 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 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. Also make sure the cables are the correct length.
300-Ohm Twin Lead Connector
This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an antenna adaptor (300-Ohm to 75­Ohm).

CONVERGENCE CORRECTION
Your 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.
To simplify convergence, Hitachi incorporates a function called MAGIC FOCUS, which allows the TV to self adjust so it can obtain the highest quality picture possible. Press the MAGIC FOCUS button located on the front panel to allow the TV to self adjust. This process will take approximately 2 minutes. If this button is pressed during this 2 minute period, no change in picture quality will occur. After this 2 minute self adjust period, picture quality will be optimum. (Do no t move TV during self adju s t.)
To enter this self adjust mode, you may also select Convergence Correction from the VIDEO Menu. However, this will display a message prompting you to press front panel MAGIC FOCUS button.
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.
NOTE: 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 convergence correction mode.
Do not press the MAGIC FOCUS button for more than 3 seconds. This is only for extreme cases of misconvergence and requires assistance from service. If one of the pictures shown below appears on the television screen, press the MAGIC FOCUS button a second time to exit this manual set up mode.

Page 46
AUDIO - 46 -
NOTE: If the optional left and right speakers are connected while in SURROUND-DOLBY CENTER EXPANSION MODE-NORMAL, the internal speakers may be turned off for better separation between the left, center, and right channels. The center channel audio will still be heard from the televisions center speaker.
SURROUND
The following surround settings will reproduce the "live" sound you would hear in concert halls, sports stadiums, movie theaters, etc. when you set up your speaker system as shown in the section on rear panel connections on pages 13-15. The surround sound system is most effective with movie and other stereo material that is Dolby Surround encoded, and played on a stereo VCR.
When using Wireless Mode (TRANSMITTER OUT jacks on rear panel), rear mode must be chosen to receive the Surround audio program.
To enter the SURROUND MODE, use the CURSOR buttons to select SURROUND MODE or you can also press the SRD button on your remote control.
Use the CURSOR buttons to select surround setting and to select and adjust the volume of front and rear speakers. Front volume also controls AUDIO TO HI-FI. Adjust front volume first.
Each surround setting has separate front & rear volume controls, except OFF and Dolby 3CH which have no rear volume controls. DOLBY PROLOGIC also has a center volume.
The CENTER and REAR VOLUME will increase or decrease when FRONT VOLUME is adjusted to keep an equal balance between the surround channels.
The maximum volume allowed for the CENTER and REAR will depend on how loud the FRONT volume is set.
The FRONT volume is the same as the main TV volume.
SURROUND OFF

HALL SURROUND
Resonant sound - Listener has the feeling of being in a concert hall.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC
Dolby Pro Logic provides four separate sound channels: left, center, right and surround. For a properly encoded program marked the center sound channel
contains the dialogue for the program viewed. The left and right channels produce sound effect that will match the action on the TV screen. For example, Dolby Pro Logic will enhance the effect of a car viewed driving from the left side of the TV screen to the right side. The surround channel (speakers) are placed behind the viewing area to add additional spatial sound effects.
To fully benefit from Dolby Pro Logic Surround, it is recommended that the surround speaker system be complete as shown on page 15.
Use the CURSOR buttons to select the surround function.
MODE
Can be set to 3CH LOGIC or PRO LOGIC. When 3CH LOGIC is set, the surround channel sound is split equally between the left and right speakers of a separate audio amplifier. When PRO LOGIC is set, separate surround sound speakers must be used.
CENTER EXPANSION
This can be set to NORMAL or ULTRA BOOST. When NORMAL is set, center channel sound is sent to the TV center speaker only. When ULTRA BOOST is set, center channel sound is split equally between the left and right TV speakers.
TEST TONE
A test sound is generated allowing the listener to balance volume from each channel. Adjust the volume levels until all channels are equal.

When set to MAIN mode, your wireless speakers will play the same audio program as played on your TV. When set to this mode, you may choose to turn the televisions' internal speakers on or off. Also, the volume of your wireless speakers will be controlled by the TV volume control.
PIP Mode
When set to PIP mode, your wireless speakers will play the PIP sub-picture audio program. The volume of your wireless speakers will now be controlled by the PIP VOL. control, which may be varied from 01 (min.) to 33 (max.). If no sub-picture is displayed, the wireless speakers will play the main channel audio program, with the volume still controlled by the PIP VOL. control.
REAR Mode
When set to REAR mode, your wireless speakers will play the Surround audio program. The volume of your wireless speakers will be controlled by the TV volume control, dependent upon the amount of REAR selected from SURROUND mode. (See pages 42, 43)

CARE OF YOUR HITACHI PROJECTION TV AND YOUR REMOTE CONTROL
DO
Dust the screen and cabinet with a soft cloth.
Clean the screen with a soft cloth moistened in warm water. Dry with a soft cloth. (A mild soap may be used if the screen is extremely dirty.)
Place your TV and remote control away from extreme heat, humidity and extremely dusty places.
Remove the plug from the wall outlet if your television set will not be used for a long period of time, for instance, when you go on vacation.
DO NOT
Do not clean your screen or cabinet with strong cleaners, polishes or chemically treated cloth.
Do not place rubber or vinyl products or cellophane tape on your set.
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. Don't 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 fresh "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.
RECEPTION PROBLEMS
Page 50
CHECK HERE BEFORE CALLING FOR SE RVICE - 50 -
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.

FYI Only!!!
We have had many callers tell us the magic focus feature did not converge their sets properly. If the caller complains the Magic Focus feature is not working, follow instructions below, then see "Technical Survey" in HP02.
To Manually Converge the Set: Press and hold in the Magic Focus button until "Static Mode" appears on the screen, then release the button. Two lines should divide the screen into four sections. We can now manually adjust our red and blue color guns. Using the blue arrow keys on the remote control, move the blue and red lines up, down, left, and right to make the vertical and horizontal line as white as possible. You can only adjust on color (red or blue) at a time. To switch from one to the other, press the enter button. When finished, press menu!

The manual states these settings begin on page 43. They actually start on page 42 and continue to page
43.

FYI Only!!!!
Several of Hitachi's projection televisions had multiple problems with the closed captioning feature. The closed captioning would sometimes appear even though the feature was turned off. In other cases alphanumeric captioning would appear in the upper left hand corner of the set. (not to be confused with the channel labeling. Please see "Techniacal Survey" in HP02.
4
Callers will normally have the problem of erasing a labeled channel. Everytime they select "Channel Caption" to delete a label, a message appears explaining that the memory is full. This means the channel they are currently tuned to is not labeled, therefore cannot be canceled. The set assumes they want to label this channel. Ask the caller to tune to a channel that is labeled then select "Channel Caption" to cancel the labeling.
5
You can always either lock or unlock any one of the four channels using code "777", regardless of
what the key number actually is. Code "777" will always lock or unlock each station.
