PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE
Many electrical and mechanical parts have special safety-related characteristics. These are often not evident from visual
inspection nor can the protection afforded by them necessarily be obtained by using replacement components rated for a
higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts which have these special safety characteristics are identified in this
Service Manual. Electrical components having such features are identified by marking with a on the schematics and
the parts list in this Service Manual. The use of a substitute replacement component which does not have the same safety
characteristics as the HITACHI recommended replacement one, shown in the parts list in this Service Manual, may create
shock, fire, or other hazards. Product safety is continuously under review and new instructions are issued from time to time.
For the latest information, always consult the current HITACHI Service Manual. A subscription to, or additional copies for,
HITACHI Service Manual may be obtained at a nominal charge from HITACHI SALES CORPORATION.

How to discriminate the "TYPE" identifications in the manual
The parts and circuits are identified by "TYPE" in this manual to discriminate the differences between models. The
TYPE numbers are the same as the model numbers. The table below shows how to read the type identifications.

2.2Notes
1) All adjustments are performed using the adjustment program and personal computer (PC). The adjustment program is
subject to change without notice for improvements in functions and operability, and the actual instructions on PC screen
may be different from those in this manual: If so, follow the instructions on PC screen to proceed with adjustment.
2) Since this chapter uses the device with the highest performance among the models listed to explain adjustment, the actual
instructions on PC screen may be different from those in this manual, depending on whether some functions are provided
or not: If so, follow the instructions on PC screen to proceed with adjustment.
3) The adjustment program will not operate normally unless the video camera, PC and test equipment/jigs are all turned on.
3 - 2
4) Be sure to connect the video output of video camera to a color video monitor (terminate the video output with 75 ohm:
If the video output is not connected to the monitor (and if it is not terminated with 75 ohm), the output video signal level
cannot be measured correctly.
5) Use light box that does not flicker and whose color temperature is controlled, for adjustment. If an inappropriate light box is
used, precise adjustment will not be possible, and the adjustment program will not operate normally.
6) Take care with the following when pointing the video camera at a chart (light box):
Focus the chart correctly.
Set the chart (light box) 30-50 cm away from the lens surface, and avoid any effects from surrounding light (except for
a case where some designation is given).
Aim at the chart and let chart fill the screen (video period). (Except for a case where some designation is given.)
2.3Setting Test Equipment
1) Set the switches, knobs and each mode of oscilloscope as follows for adjustment:
Probe:10:1
TIME/DIV:10 or 20 µs (except for a case where some designation is given)
VOLTS/DIV:Will vary depending on the measurement object (except for a case where some designation is
given)
Synchronization:Internal sync (except for a case where some designation is given)
AC/DC/GND:AC (except for a case where some designation is given)
Note: The names of switches, knobs, modes, etc. of oscilloscope may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer or
model. Since some oscilloscopes may have switches, etc. other than the above that must be set, see the instruction
manual of the particular oscilloscope for details.

floppy disk has been inserted. If using a drive other than A, designate the
drive.
*4: The number to be input after a space is to designate the serial port no. of
PC. If the PC has two or more serial ports, and the DSP-R jig is connected
to a port other than serial port 1, input the serial port number.
*5: If the model select screen does not appear, make sure of the following:
Power is supplied to the video camera and DSP-R jig.
The designation of drive (in step 5) is correct.
