PREVENTION OF SCREEN BURN
This Wide Screen TV is designed to display wide screen pictures, images should be viewed mostly in wide screen format or
zoomed to fill the screen with moving pictures. Use of side panels, top and bottom panels of standard picture formats should only
be 15% of your total viewing time to prevent uneven aging of the phosphors. Phosphors in the lighted area of the picture will age
more rapidly than the gray areas. Continuous on-screen displays such as video games, stock market quotations, computer gen-
erated graphics, and other fixed (non-moving) patterns can cause permanent damage to television receivers. Such "SCREEN
BURNS" constitute misuse and are NOT COVERED by your HITACHi Factory Warranty.
PUBLIC VIEWING OF COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL

HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI PROJECTION TV
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.
4' MINIMUM
4' MINIMUM
_ 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,

(_ VIRTUAL HD button
Press this button to toggle between 1O8Oiand 540p,
540p and 1080i represent two ways to display the TV signal.
• Progressive: The "p" in 540p tells you that the display is showing you the picture in the progressive format. With the progressive
format the complete picture is created by drawing lines across the screen from left to right which fill the screen from the top to
bottom. If you look very closely at the screen there will be a very small space in between each line. The progressive format is good
for displaying fast moving programs such as a sporting evenL
• Interlaced: The "i" in 1080i tells you that the display is showing you the picture in the interlaced format. With the interlaced format
the picture iscreated by drawing lines across the screen from left to right which fill the screen from top to bottom, and then returning
to the top and drawing another set of lines in between the first set. The TV draws the lines so fast that our eyes can't see them. If
you look very closely at the screen you will notice a smoot her image that with the progressive format. The interlace format is good
for displaying detailed images like feature films.
• You can compare the progressive and interlaced formats by toggling the "VIRTUAL HD" button on the remote control. Some
people like the crisp picture from 540p and some people like the smooth and detailed 1080i. Hitachi offers you the choice.

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

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.

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)
MAGIC
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.
You may also select Magic Focus from the VIDEO menu.

Reception Problems

I

I
I
I
• 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.
