PROTECTION AND LOCATION OF YOUR TELEVISION

SAFETY TIPS

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.

16-2. Note to CATV e_ instaifer:

(Only for television with CATV

reception). This reminder is

provided to cell the CATV system

instelter'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.

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 sunlightor 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 rightof 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.

4' MINIMUM

CAUTION:

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

close to the television. Move the magnetic field source away from the television until there is no picture I

distortion.

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.

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 TV) to the antenna

jack on the television.

Phono Connector

Used on all standard video and audio cables which connect to

inputsand 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 standard video

cable to produce a high quality picture.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACK PANEL

VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CAW (Cable TV)

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 have a second antenna or cable TV system, connect the coaxial

cable to the ANT B terminal.

VHF (300-Ohm) antenna/UHF antenna

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 Aonly) 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 buttonon

green color, channel tuning is for the main picture. When the lower channel display is in green color, channel tuning is for the PIP sub-

picture. 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.

IAGIC 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 aperiod 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. However, this will display a message

prompting you to press the front panel MAGIC FOCUS button.

RECEPTION PROBLEMS

..J

ii!ii iiiii

•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, hillsor 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 isweak, 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 dpples 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

the TV set to a considerable distance. I
