SAFETY TIPS
PROTECTION AND LOCATION OF YOUR REAR PROJECTION TELEVISION
16-1. If an outside antenna is connected
to the Rear Projection 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 Code, NFPA No. 701975, 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 Rear Projection
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.

HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW
HITACHI DLPTM REAR PROJECTION TV
ANTENNA
Unless your Rear Projection 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 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 Rear Projection 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 Rear 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 Rear Projection 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 Rear Projection TV can be located in a different section of the room.
If the Rear Projection 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 Rear
Projection 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.

ASPECT STYLE
If you receive an image with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the image will be displayed at that ratio on your HDTV unless you specify otherwise.
The Picture Format menu allows you to adjust the image through the following options:

Normal Choose this when receiving a 4:3 image and you want the on-screen
appearance of the video to be a centered picture with side panels
(blank areas) on the right and left sides.
Full

Choose this when you want the television to adjust the 4:3 image
horizontally so it fills your 16:9 screen. No side panels will be added,
and the image is vertically unaltered. This setting is especially useful
for viewing 16:9 formatted DVDs.

ASPECT STYLE
Fill

This function allows you to select when receiving either NTSC or
SDTV. Full screen picture is available in this mode when
receiving letterbox signal. Both vertical edges will be hidden if you
select Fill for ordinary 4:3 picture.

Smooth Wide This function allows you to select when receiving either NTSC or
SDTV signal. 4:3 picture is expanded horizontally as being close
to both left and right sides. It keeps 4:3 ratio in the center of the
picture, then expands as it is close to both left and right edge of
the picture to show picture distortion minimized. This function
allows you to watch picture without side panel for 4:3.

Some digital (ATSC format)
stations may transmit 4:3
images in a way that will
not allow expansion. You
will be unable to adjust the
picture format.

V. POSITION
This function allows you to select when aspect style is either Full or Fill or Smooth Wide. Vertical position can be changed with this
mode. For example, it will be useful for centering the picture when there is gray area at both top and bottom of the picture with HDTV
signal. Adjustable range is -10 (video center is toward bottom of screen) to +10 (video center is toward top of screen).
V. SIZE
This function allows you to select when aspect style is Fill. It will not be available when selecting other aspect style. It is useful when
you wish to change vertical size of the picture. Adjustable ranges is -15 (video size is narrowed) to +15 (video size is broadened).

COMPONENT COLOR TYPE
This function allows you to automatically change tint and color coordinates for DTV programs.
HDTV - High Definition Television - Use for High Vision Signal Y-PBPR from HDTV Set-Top Box.
SDTV /DVD - Standard Definition Television or DVD (Digital Versatile Disc Player) Y-CBCR.

NOTES:

1. The aspect Style setting you select for an ANT input will automatically be set for the other ANT input. However, all three
video inputs have independent Aspect Style settings.
2. You will not be able to access the V. Position menu if Aspect Style-Normal is set.
3. You will not be able to access the V. SIZE menu if Aspect Style - Normal or Full is set.
4. You will only be able to access the Aspect Style menu when viewing a 4:3-480i or 480P. When viewing a 16:9-1080i
or 720P input you will not be able to access this menu.
5. If COMPONENT COLOR TYPE is set improperly (does not match actual input signal), the color and tint of the main
picture will be abnormal.
6. You must be tuned to VIDEO: 1 or 2 input and have a component hooked up to the Y-PBPR input jacks to
access this component color type.
7. All component color type settings will affect only color component input you are currently viewing. If you are using
both sets of component input jacks, be sure to set the component color type feature for both inputs.
8. Adjustable range of V. Position is -20 to +20 when receiving 480P picture.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

Dolby Pro Logic provides four separate sound channels: front left, center, front right, and surround. For properly encoded programs
marked
the center sound channel contains the dialogue for the program viewed. The left and right channels produce
sound effects that will match the action on the TV screen. For example, Dolby Pro Logic will enhance the effect of a car viewed driving
from the left side of the TV screen to the right side. The surround channel (speakers) are placed behind the viewing area to add
additional spatial sound effects.
To fully benefit from Dolby Pro Logic Surround, it is recommended that the surround speaker system be complete, as shown on page

CARE OF YOUR HITACHI PROJECTION TV

¥ 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 Rear Projection 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 Rear Projection Television can generate sound distortion in external devices such as a radio. Please separate radio
equipment from the Rear Projection Television to a considerable distance.
NOTE: The Rear Projection Television has the nature that some pixels do not always work correctly. That is, some are lit and
some are not. This is not a problem.
SCREEN
The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not rub, touch or
tap it with sharp or abrasive objects. Be especially careful
when transporting the Rear Projection Television.
PANEL
Do not expose the screen to direct sunlight. It may damage
the panel. When the Rear Projection Television is used in a
cold place, the image may look lengthened. This is not a
malfunction. The image will become normal when the
temperature rises.
