CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace with the same or equivalent type.

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 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 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 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 TV 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 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.

HITACHI 61SWX12B - VIEWING - 3

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

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.

Your HITACHI Projection TV incorporates Dual Tuner technology designed for improved viewing enjoyment. This Dual Tuner feature 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 A only) 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 can only be viewed as a main picture. To select between main picture and PIP sub-picture tuning, press the PIP CH button on the remote. The highlighted channel display will move with every press of the PIP CH button. When the top channel display is highlighted, channel tuning is for the main picture. When the lower channel display is highlighted, channel tuning is for the PIP sub-picture.

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.

MAGIC FOCUS

Please turn on your television for at least 20 minutes before using this feature.

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 15 seconds. If this button is pressed during this process, no change in picture quality will occur. After this 15 second self-adjust period, picture quality will be optimum. (Do not move the TV during self-adjust.)

You may also select MAGIC FOCUS from the SETUP Menu.

NOTES: 1. For Magic Focus to perform at it's best, the television must be turned "ON" and heat run for a minimum of 20 minutes before pressing Magic Focus on the front panel.

  1. Only a momentary press of the MAGIC FOCUS button is necessary to start AUTO DIGITAL CONVERGENCE. At anytime during this convergence correction process, you may press the MAGIC FOCUS button to exit the MAGIC FOCUS mode.

PICTURE FORMATS

The PICTURE FORMATS function is very useful when setting up reception High Definition, Standard Definition and NTSC signals.

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.

4:3 ratio 16:9 ratio

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).

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-PRB from HDTV Set-Top Box.

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

VIDEO DISPLAY

The Video Display feature allows you to display 1080i or 540P signal modes. This feature selection is not available when 1080i signal is input.

NOTES: 1. The aspect Style setting you select for an ANT input will automatically be set for the other ANT input. However, all five 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 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. FULL mode will be automatically selected
4. If COMPONENT COLOR TYPE is set improperly (does not match actual input signal), the color and tint of the main picture will be abnormal.
5. You must be tuned to VIDEO: 4 or 5 input and have a component hooked up to the Y-P _B PR input jacks to access this component color type.
6. 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.
7. When 1080i signal is input, Video Display menu will not be accessible.

SRS

by SRS(●)\*

Based on the principles of the human hearing system, SRS technology delivers and exciting and realistic 3D Sound experience from just two external speakers (or) the two internal speakers of your HITACHI Television. If your HITACHI Television is connected to an external audio system, SRS will also create an incredible 3D sound experience from two speakers and even enhance a complete multi-speaker surround sound system.

NOTES: *SRS and the (●) symbol are registered trademarks of SRS Labs, Inc. in the United States and selected foreign countries. SRS technology is incorporated under license from SRS Labs, Inc.

BBE Technology

Sound reproduction quality enhancement system. The BBE technology produces sound that is natural and crisp from just two speakers (or) the two internal speakers of your HITACHI television. If your HITACHI television is connected to an external audio system, BBE will also create an incredible crisp sound experience from two speakers and even more complete and accurate reproduction of the original performance. BBE brings to the listener's ear a more complete and accurate reproduction of the original performance. Each voice, speaking or singing, each instrument or sound effect is presented with its attendant harmonics or partials more clearly audible. The ear can then more easily recognize the unique tonal colors of each sound as though the sound was being produced live.

NOTES: BBE functions the same manner on TV mode and on VIDEO mode.

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 17.

Use THUMB STICK ▲ or ▼ to select STANDARD, NIGHT, MAXIMUM.

Press EXIT to quit menu or THUMB STICK ◀ to return to previous menu.

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.

NOTES: 1. This feature is only accessible when SURROUND-DOLBY DIGITAL mode is selected and INPUT SOURCE-DIGITAL (Optical or Coaxial) is chosen.
2. You must be in VIDEO:4 or VIDEO:5 to access this feature, since these are the only inputs which accept DOLBY DIGITAL inputs.

Press THUMB STICK ▲ or ▼ to highlight feature.

Press down on THUMB STICK to select INTERNAL or EXTERNAL W/AMP.

Use THUMB STICK ▶ to change SURROUND or SUB WOOFER feature to your desired setting.

Press EXIT to quit menu or THUMB STICK ◀ to return to previous menu.

Select FRONT L/R - INTERNAL if you wish to use the TV internal Left and Right speakers.

Select FRONT L/R- EXTERNAL W/AMP if you wish to turn off the TV internal Left and Right speakers and use speakers connected to an external amplifier. This will provide better audio separation.

Select SURROUND - YES if you are using the TV speaker terminals (on rear panel) to power your surround speakers.

Select SURROUND - NO if you are not using the TV speaker terminals for your surround speakers or want to turn surround speakers OFF.

Select SUB WOOFER - YES if you have a sub woofer connected to the rear panel Sub Woofer jack. If you are not using this rear panel Sub Woofer jack or wish to turn OFF your SUB WOOFER, select SUB WOOFER - NO.

NOTES: 1. Surround speakers and Sub Woofer volume will increase and decrease when main volume is adjusted. Refer to THEATER-SURROUND menu on page 65 for instructions on how to set up your speakers.
2. If SURROUND-NO, SUB WOOFER-NO are selected, when THEATER-SURROUND is chosen you will not be able to adjust volume level of SL, SR, or SW. This is because these speakers are turned OFF by selecting SURROUND-NO and SUB WOOFER-NO.

DO

Dust the screen and cabinet with a soft cloth.

Clean the screen with a soft cloth moistened in warm water and dry with a soft cloth. A mild soap may be used if the screen is extremely dirty.

Place your television away from extreme heat, humidity, and extremely dusty places.

Remove the plug from the wall outlet if your television will not be used for a long period of time, for instances, when you go on vacation.

DO NOT

Do not clean your screen or cabinet with strong cleaners, polishes or a chemically treated cloth.

Do not place rubber or vinyl products or cellophane tape on your television.

Do not touch the screen too often.

Do not subject the remote control to shocks such as dropping it on the floor, etc. Physical damage to the precision parts may result.

Avoid placing the remote control in a high humidity place or getting it wet. Do not leave it on or near a heater. Excessive heat or moisture may cause the unit to cease operation.

When the batteries run down, remote control operation will become erratic or possibly stop altogether. Replace the old batteries with two new "AA" size batteries.

Exposure of the viewing screen to prolonged direct sunlight or heat may cause the screen to permanently warp, resulting in a distorted picture.

HITACHI 61SWX12B - DO NOT - 1• 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.
HITACHI 61SWX12B - DO NOT - 2• 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.
HITACHI 61SWX12B - DO NOT - 3• 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.
HITACHI 61SWX12B - DO NOT - 4• RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:The interference produces moving ripples 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 the TV set to a considerable distance.
