HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI PROJECTION TV
5
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.

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).

To select between main picture and PIP sub-picture tuning, press the PIP CH button on the remote. The green 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 sub-picture.

NOTE: MOVIE MODE 3:2 PULLDOWN DETECTION SPECIAL FEATURE
Theatrical movies are shot on film at 24 frames or still pictures per second, instead of 30 frames or 60 fields like video. When
film is transferred to video for television viewing, the disparity between the two frame rates must be reconciled. This involves
a process known as 3:2 pulldown.
When MOVIE mode is selected from the Picture Mode menu, your Hitachi Projection Television will activate the circuitry for
this special feature to improve video performance when watching film based sources. This 3:2 pulldown detection will only
work in MOVIE mode.
Use this function to change the contrast between black and white levels in the picture. This adjustment
will only affect the picture when ADVANCED SETTINGS DIMMER is OFF.
Use the CURSOR or to highlight the function to be adjusted.
Press the CURSOR or to adjust the function.
Press MENU to return to main menu or select PICTURE MODE to return to previous menu.

This function allows you to select when aspect style is either 4:3 EXPANDED/ZOOM1/ZOOM2. Vertical
position can be changed with this mode. Adjustable range is -10 (video center is toward bottom of

Auto Digital Convergence Adjustment
Please turn ON your television for at least 20 minutes before using this feature.
The Magic Focus button on control panel will not work when adjustment mode is set to Manual (see page 37).
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 located on the front control panel, which allows the
TV to self-adjust. Press this MAGIC FOCUS button and the convergence self adjustment will start and this process will take
approximately 20 seconds. If this button is pressed during this process, no change in picture quality will occur. After this 20 second
self-adjust period, picture quality will be optimum. (Do not move the TV during self-adjust.)
You may also select Magic Focus from the VIDEO menu.
NOTES:
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 MAGIC FOCUS
mode. However, the convergence correction process needs to be completed to SAVE the new corrected convergence
data.

Based on the principles of the human hearing system, SRS technology delivers and exciting and realistic 3D Sound experience from
just two external speakers (or) the two internal speakers of your HITACHI Television. If your HITACHI Television is connected to an
external audio system, SRS will also create an incredible 3D sound experience from two speakers and even enhance a complete
multi-speaker surround sound system.
Technology
Sound reproduction quality enhancement system. The BBE technology produces sound that is natural and crisp from just two speak-
ers (or) the two internal speakers of your HITACHI television. If your HITACHI television is connected to an external audio system,
BBE will also create an incredible crisp sound experience from two speakers and even more complete and accurate reproduction of
the original performance. BBE brings to the listener’s ear a more complete and accurate reproduction of the original performance.
Each voice, speaking or singing, each instrument or sound effect is presented with its attendant harmonics or partials more clearly
audible. The ear can then more easily recognize the unique tonal colors of each sound as though the sound was being produced live.

• 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.
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.
