PROTECTION AND LOCATION OF YOUR TELEVISION
SAFETY TIPS
16-1. Ifan 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 Cede, 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
820-40 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.

ANTENNA
HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI PROJECTION TV
Unless your TV is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor color "TV antenna is
rec:ommended for best performance. However, if you are located in an exceptionally good signal area ":h_.tisfree from interference and
mLJltipleimage 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.
VIFWING
Th_ major benefit of the HITACHI Projection Television is its large viewing screen. "Tosee this large screen at its beast,test various
locations in the room to find the optimum spot for viewing.
Th_= best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the TV and about 10 to 18 feet from the screen. Pi_'ture 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 usecl to reduce the
refection or the TV can be located in a different section of the room.
Ifthe 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 Lhepicture screen center. For
be=3tstereo 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.

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 be.,;tperformance, 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 and the length of each cable.
300-Ohm Twin Lead Connector
This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an antenna
adapter (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).
"F" Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector
For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable "IV) to the antenna
jack on the television.,
Phono Connector
Used on all standarcl video and audio cables which connect to
inputs ;]nd outputs located on the television's rear jack panel and
front control panel.
S-Video (Super Video) Connector
This connector is used on camcorders, VCRs, and laserdisc
players with an S-Video feature in place of the stan4ard video
cable to produce a high quality picture.
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACK PANEL
VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CATV (Cable "rv)
When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, connect the outdoor
antenna or CATV coaxial cable to the ANT A (75-Ohm) terminal. If
you hace a second antenna or cable TV system, connect the coaxial
cable to the ANT B terminal.
VHF ('100-Ohm) antenna/UHF antenna
When Jsinga 300-Ohm twin lead from an outdoor antenna, connect
the VHF or UHF antenna leads to screws of the VHF or UHF
adapter. Plug the adapter into the antenna terminal on the TV.
When both VHF and UHF antennas are connected
Attach an optional antenna cable mixer to the TV antenna
terminal, and connect the cables to the antenna mixer. Consult
your dealer or service store for the antenna mixer.

l MAGIC FOCUS
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 "conw_rgence".
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 co'werge (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 slationary. The outputs of the red and blue tubes can be adjusted. When properly aligned, the outputs oF all three
tubes sl_iould 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 picl:ur_ 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.

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 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 vacatiorl.
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 il 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.
6O
RECEPTION PROBLEMS
- _ ASK
• 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 twc paths. One is the
direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hill.'; 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 multipte 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 a]3pearance of small
dots. When the signal is extremely weak, i! 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 I
I the TV set to a ('onsiderable distance.
