I AGIC FOCUS

Your HITACHI Projection "IV 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

preciselyaligned 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 movingthe "IV. Ifyou 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 propedy 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, which allows the TV to self-adjust. This process

will take approximately 90 seconds. If this button is pressed during this 90 second pedod, no change in picture quality will occur. Alter

this 90 second serf-adjust period, picture quality will be optimum. (Do not move the "IV during serf-adjust.)

To enter this serf-adjust mode, you may also select MAGIC FOCUS from the SETUP Menu. However, this will display a message

prompting you to press the front panel MAGIC FOCUS button.

NOTE:

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.

Do not press the MAGIC FOCUS buttonfor more than three seconds. This is only for extreme cases of misconvergence

and requires assistance from service. If one of the pictures shown below appears on the television screen, press the

MAGIC FOCUS button a second time to exit this manual set up mode.
