PROTECTION

AND LOCATION

OF YOUR TELEVISION

16-1. If an outside antenna ia connected
to the television, be sure the
antenna system is grounded so as
to provide some protection against
voltage surges and buiit-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 fo_
the grounding electrode.

19.

An outside antenna system should
not be leceted in the vicinity of
overhead
power lines or other =-i=lL_,_,.m_=_
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 tkna, unplug it from the
wall outlet and disconnect antenna.

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 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 sufficienL
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 seL
To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the "IV 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 "IV 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 extemal 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 "IV, 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.

CAUTION:

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

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 best performance, 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.

The exact arrangement you use to connect the VCR, camcorder, laserdisc player, and DVD player to your TV set is dependent on the
model and features of each component. Check the owner's manual of each component for the location of video and audio inputs and
outputs.
The following connection diagrams are offered as suggestions. However, you may need to modifythem to accommodate your particular
assortment of components and features. For best performance, video and audio cables should be made from coaxial shielded wire.

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-CbCr input 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 channel display in green color will move with every press of the PIP CH button. When the top channel display is in
green color, channel tuning is for the main picture. When the lower channel display is in green color, 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.

AGIC FOCUS

Your HITACHI Projection "IV 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 "IV. 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 propedy 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 pedod, no change in picture quality will occur. Alter
this 90 second serf-adjust period, picture quality will be optimum. (Do not move the "IV during serf-adjust.)
To enter this serf-adjust mode, you may also select MAGIC FOCUS from the SETUP Menu.
prompting you to press the front panel MAGIC FOCUS button.
