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.

1 Lamp Explosion This set has a 200W lamp. The lamp rarely breaks. If it does, it will make a pop noise.

2On time It takes time (17 seconds) to display picture on television compared to a conventional color tele-

vision. LED at the front panel indicates the set is under power on condition. (See note on page 9)

3Restart time It takes about 60 seconds for the picture to re-appear, after quickly pressing power OFF

then ON again. Three LEDs indicate the set is under power on condition. On: Three LED s

blink alternately. Off: One LED blinks.

4When power off Fans will keep working for about 2 minutes after power OFF to cool down the lamp.

5 Lamp replacement It is recommended that you replace the lamp every 4000 hours to obtain good picture bright-

ness (This is not a guarantee that life time of a lamp is 4000 hours).

6 Bright and This set has fixed pixel elements. There may be some dark/bright spots on the

dark spot element. However, this is not a defect.

7 Streaks in Please set proper signal strength. You may see streaks in picture on some channels without

Picture proper antenna. Streaks may disappear when signal is strong. Place antenna and cable

away from the AC power cord.

8 Bend, tilt Due to varying signal content, you may see vertical or horizontal lines bend occasionally in

PC mode. However, this phenomenon is not a defect. It s caused by a lack of picture content

due to under-scanning in PC mode.

9PC mode This set provides the best picture quality in SVGA mode. It is recommended that you set your

PC to SVGA mode. In OVERSCAN mode, top/bottom icon will be approximately 19% to 50%

within the viewable area, and should be accessible to grab and click. Picture is overscanned

when receiving XGA or higher resolution signals.

10 Burning Please do not leave the TV set with still pictures like games, stock market qutoes, and other

non-moving pictures. Otherwise it may cause a pattern burn on the screen.

11 Protect Operation When the lamp is cooling down, the remote control does not respond within 15 seconds. LED at

when power on the front panel shows if your set accepts remote commands. When blinking is slow, your set is

ready to accept remote commands.

12 Please do not There is a color wheel spinning at high revolution in the television set. It may be broken if you

move your set move your set before setting power off.

SELECT

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

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:

4:3 ratio

16:9 ratio

SET UP

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).

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.

ASPECT STYLE

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.

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-PBPRinput 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.

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-PBPRfrom HDTV Set-Top Box.

SDTV /DVD - Standard Definition Television or DVD (Digital Versatile Disc Player) Y-CBCR.

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).

When STANDARD is selected:

It is the normal listening mode. It does not make full use of your televisions dynamic range, but is a good compromise for all day

viewing/listening.

When NIGHT is selected:

This mode allows the audio to be reproduced in such a way that the impact of sound track extremes (such as explosions) are reduced

while quiet passages are boosted , allowing all the audio information to be heard at a low volume level. As it s name suggests, this mode

is intended for night time viewing.

When MAXIMUM is selected:

This mode makes the best use of the televisions dynamic range. It will enhance the sound effects such as explosions or screams.

Choose between pre-set audio modes Standard, Night, or Maximum. Take advantage of these features to

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.

When the same static picture has been displayed continuously,

an afterimage impression of that picture may remain on the

screen. This will disappear after a certain period of time.
