Disposal of this product may require specific
instructions
pertaining to your resident state. For
disposal or recycling information, please contact
your local authorities or the Electronic Industries
Alliance: www.eiae.org.

Projection TV's are heavy and can mark or damage floor surfaces (especially wood flooring) if moved improperly. Do not
slide or force TV into position. Always roll TV allowing casters at bottom of unit to help steer and position the TV.
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 generated 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
Public viewing of programs broadcast by TV stations and cable companies, as well as programs from other sources, may require
prior authorization from the broadcaster or owner of the video program 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.

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.

VIRTUAL HD button
Press this button to toggle between 1O8Oi and 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 the bottom. If you look very closely at the screen there will be a very small space between each line. The
progressive format is good for displaying fast moving programs such as a sporting event.
Interlaced: The 'T' in 1080i tells you that the display is showing you the picture in the interlaced format. With the interlaced
format the picture is created 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 smoother image than with the progressive
format. The interlaced 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.

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 57).
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.

data.

RECEPTION

PROBLEMS

• 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.

NOTE:

• RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:
The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in
some cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.

The TV set can generate sound distortion in external devices such as a radio.
