ANTENNA
Unless your TV is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor 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.

Magic Focus Tune Up
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 55 or 56),
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 TUNE UP from the Setup Menu.
