Public Viewing of Copyrighted Material

Public viewing of programs broadcast by TV stations and cable companies, as well as programs from other sources, may require prior authorization from the broadcaster or owner of the video program material.

PROTECTION AND LOCATION OF YOUR TELEVISION

16-1. If an outside antenna is connected

to the television, 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 Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70-1975, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit connection to grounding electrode, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

16-2. Note to CATV system installer:

(Only for television with CATV reception). This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer s attention to Article 82040 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

17. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electrical lights or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

18. For added protection for the television during a lightning storm, or when it is unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect antenna. This will prevent damage due to lightning and power-line surges.

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE INSTRUCTIONS.

19. This television should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply at your home, consult your dealer or local power company. For televisions designed to operate from battery power, refer to the operating instructions.

20. If the television does not operate normally by following the operating instructions, unplug the television from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Adjust only those controls that are covered in the instructions as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified service technician to restore the television to normal operation.

OPERATION OF YOUR TELEVISION

HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI PROJECTION TV

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

close to the television. Move the magnetic field source away from the television until there is no picture distortion.

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.

PICTURE-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 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 and COMPONENT: Y-CBCRinput 2 sources 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 subpicture. 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.

 PIP button

Press the PIP button and a sub-picture will appear in one of the three different modes (SINGLE, SPLIT or SURF), depending on the last selection of the PIP mode. To change the PIP mode use the CURSOR  or  buttons and the new selection will appear the next time the PIP function is used.

SINGLE MODE PIP

Press the PIP button and a sub-picture appears in one corner of the screen. Press the button again to reduce the size of the subpicture. Press the PIP button a third 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, and ANT A antenna source. (ANT B source cannot be viewed as a sub-picture and COMPONENT: Y-CBCRInput 2 source will be displayed as a blank sub-picture).

SPLIT MODE PIP

When you press the PIP button, the main channel and the PIP sub-picture will appear at the center of the screen (main channel on right side and sub-picture on left side). Press the PIP button a second time to return to normal viewing. 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, and ANT A antenna source. (ANT B source cannot be viewed as a sub-picture and CONPONENT: Y-CBCR/Y-PBPRINPUT 2 source will be displayed as a blank sub-picture).

NOTES: 1) Since ANT B source cannot be viewed as a sub-picture, only SPLIT mode PIP is possible when ANT B is selected as

the main channel.

2) When ANT B is selected as the main channel, the SWAP feature is disabled.

3) When the COMPONENT: Y-CBCR/Y-PBPRInput 2 is selected as PIP, it will appear as a blank sub-picture.

4) When tuned to Video:2 with component input (Y-CBCR/Y-PBP R) you will not be able to access the PIP functions.

5) Only sound from main picture can be heard, unless you choose sub-picture audio from the THEATER wireless sound

mode and use the wireless out outputs on the rear panel.

MAGIC FOCUS

SET UP

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, which allows the TV to self-adjust. This process will take approximately 90 seconds. If this button is pressed during this 90 second period, no change in picture quality will occur. After this 90 second self-adjust period, picture quality will be optimum. (Do not move the TV during self-adjust.)

To enter this self-adjust mode, you may also select MAGIC FOCUS from the SETUP Menu. However, this will display a message prompting you to press the front panel MAGIC FOCUS button.

NOTES: 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.

Do not press the MAGIC FOCUS button for more than three 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.

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 audio system setup on pages 20-21. The surround system is most effective with movie and other stereo material that is Dolby Surround encoded, and played on a stereo VCR.

When using WIRELESS SOUND, REAR SPEAKERS mode must be chosen to receive the Surround audio program.

To enter the SURROUND MODE, use CURSOR  or  to highlight then press CURSOR  to select SURROUND MODE of your choice. Now press CURSOR  or  to highlight, then press CURSOR  to select function to be adjusted. Use CURSOR  or  to adjust the volume of rear and main speakers. Main volume also controls AUDIO TO HI-FI output level. Adjust main volume first.

Each surround setting has separate main and rear volume controls, except OFF and DOLBY 3 STEREO which have no rear volume controls. DOLBY PRO LOGIC and DOLBY 3 STEREO also have center volume controls, while MATRIX and HALL have balance controls. (Balance while in DOLBY PRO LOGIC and DOLBY 3 STEREO modes is adjusted by using the TEST TONE volume controls.) The center and rear volume will increase or decrease when main is adjusted, keeping an equal balance between the surround channels.

The maximum volume allowed for the center and rear will depend on how loud the main volume is set.

SURROUND OFF

Use this for normal stereo/mono broadcasts.

MATRIX SURROUND

Listener is surrounded by many sound sources such as a sporting event, etc.

HALL SURROUND

Resonant sound-Listener has the feeling of being in a concert hall.

NOTE: Some TV systems do not transmit optimum audio channel separation which can reduce the effectiveness of the MATRIX

SURROUND function.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

Dolby Pro Logic provides four separate sound channels: left, center, right, and surround. For properly encoded programs marked the center sound channel contains the dialogue for the program viewed. The left and right channels produce sound effects 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 20.

Press CURSOR  or  to highlight a surround function. Use CURSOR  to change the surround function.

The function can be set to DOLBY 3 STEREO or DOLBY PRO LOGIC. When DOLBY 3 STEREO is set, the surround channel sound is split equally between the left and right speakers of the separate audio amplifier. When DOLBY PRO LOGIC is set, separate surround sound speakers must be used.

Also, the function can be set to NORMAL or TV AS CENTER. When NORMAL is set, center channel sound is sent to the TV center speakers, while left and right audio is sent to the TV s left and right speakers. When TV AS CENTER is set, center channel sound is sent to the TV center speakers while left and right audio is sent to the left and right speakers of a separate audio amplifier (TV s left and right speakers are automatically turned 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 soft cloth moistened in warm water and dry with a soft cloth. A mild soap may be used if the screen is extremely dirty.

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.

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.

USEFUL INFO

HITACHI Projection Television incorporates advanced power surge protection technology designed to protect against component or circuit damage due to external or internal voltage power surges.

IF YOUR TELEVISION SHOULD APPEAR TO HAVE A LOSS OF POWER, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE:

1. Press the power switch (ON/OFF switch) once.

2. If there is still no power, wait 30 seconds and press the power switch again.

3. If there is still no power, unplug the power cord from the wall. Wait 30 seconds and plug the power cord back in. Press the power switch again.

This protective technology should provide for years of lasting entertainment from your HITACHI Projection Television.
