CONVERGENCE CORRECTION

Your 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.

To simplify convergence, Hitachi incorporates a function called MAGIC FOCUS, which allows the TV to self adjust so it can obtain the highest quality picture possible. Press the MAGIC FOCUS button located on the front panel to allow the TV to self adjust. This process will take approximately 2 minutes. If this button is pressed during this 2 minute period, no change in picture quality will occur. After this 2 minute self adjust period, picture quality will be optimum. (Do not move TV during self adjust.)

To enter this self adjust mode, you may also select Convergence Correction from the VIDEO Menu. However, this will display a message prompting you to press front panel MAGIC FOCUS button.

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.

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

Do not press the MAGIC FOCUS button for more than 3 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.
