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 isfree 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.
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 directlyin 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 s0, drapes or screens can be used to reduce the
reflection or the TV can be located in a different section of the room.
If the TV's audio outputwill be connected to a Hi-Fi system's external speakers, the best audio performance win be obtained by placing
the speakers equidistantfrom 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.

CAUTION: Magnetic fields, such as those of external speakers, may cause the picture to distort if they are
close to the television. Move the magnetic field source away from the television until there is no p cturedistortion.

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
inputs and 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) antennalCATV (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
When using a 30g-Ohm twin lead from an outdoorantenna, connect
the VHF or UHF antenna leads to screws of the VHF or UHF
adapter. Plug the adapter into the antenna terminal on the TV.
When both VHF and UHF antennas are connected
Attach an optional antenna cable mixer to the rv antenna
terminal, and connect the cables to the antenna mixer. Consult

TIPS ON REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS
TIPS ON REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS
S-Video connections are provided for high performance laserdisc players, VCRs etc. that have this feature. Use these connections
in place of the standard video connection if your device has this feature.
If your device has only one audio output (mono sound), connect it to the left audio jack on the television.
Refer to the operating guide of your other electronic equipment for additional information on connecting your hook-up cables.
A single VCR can be used for VCR #1 and VCR #2, but note that a VCR cannot record its own video or line output (INPUT: 1 in the
example on page 13.) Refer to your VCR operating guide for more information on line input-output connections.
You may use VIDEO, S-VIDEO, or COMPONENT: Y-CBCR/Y-PBP R inputs to connect to Input 2, but note that only one of these
may be used at a time.
Connect only 1 component to each input jack.
COMPONENT: Y-CBCR/Y-PBP R connections are provided for high performance components, such as DVD players. Use these
connections in place of the standard video connection if your device has this feature.
When using the Y-CBCR/Y-PBP R input jacks, connect your components audio output to the TV's Input 2 Left and Right Audio input
jacks.
Your component outputs may be labeled Y, B-Y, and R-Y. In this case, connect the components B-Y output to the TV's Cb input
and the components R-Y output to the TV's CR/P R input.
It may be necessary to adjust TINT or turn AUTO COLOR-ON to obtain optimum picture quality when using the Y-CBCR/Y-PBP R
inputs. (See pages 52 and 53.)
To ensure no copyright infringement, the MONITOR OUT output will be abnormal, when using the Y'CBCR/Y-PBPR jacks,

CONNECTING EXTERNALVIDEO SOURCES
The exact arrangement you use to connect the VCR, camoorder,laserdise 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 locationof video and audio inputsand
outputs.
The following connection diagrams are offered as suggestions. However, you may need to modify them to accommodate your
particular assortment of components and features. For best performance, video and audio cables should be made from coaxial
shielded wire.
Before Operating External Video Source
The input mode is changed every time the INPUT button is pressed as shown below. Connect an external source to the INPUT
terminal, then press the INPUT button as necessary to view the inputsource. (See page 28.)
