antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built up static charges, Section 810 of
the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70-1975, provides informa-
tion with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge, con-
nection to grounding electrode, and requirements for the grounding

electrode,

Note to CATV system Installer:

(Only for the television set with CATV reception)
This reminder is provided to call CATV system

installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC
that provides guidelines for proper grounding

and, In particular, specifies that the cable ground
shall be connected to the grounding system of
the building, as close to the point of cable entry

as practical.

17. An outside antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electrical lights or power circuits, or where it can
fall into such power lines or circuits. When
installing an outside antenna system, extreme

care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them might

be fatal.

2. To operate your TV, point the Remote Transmitter at the remote sensor of the TV.

HUW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI COLOR TV

ANTENNA

Unless your TV is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor colorTV anten-

na 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 back cover of the set.
To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where tem-

peratures can become excessively hot. For example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance, etc.

VIEWING

The major benefit of the HITACHIColorTelevisionis its largeviewingscreen.Tosee thisscreenat itsbest, test vari-
ouslocationsinthe roomtofind thebestspotfor viewing.The drawingsgiveseveralsuggestions.

The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the TV and about 6 to 9 feet from the screen. 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 4 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.

I ,_CAUTION:

_IMUM

,

3' 6' 9'

The magnetic field of external speakers may cause the picture to distort if the speakers are I
placed too close to the television. Move the speakers away from the TV until there is no

picture distortion.

HOOKUP 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 pur-
chased 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.

Also make sure the cabtes are the correct length.

300-OhmTwin Lead Connector
This outdoorantenna cable must be connectedto an

antennaadapter (300-Ohmto 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 whichcon-

nect to inputs and outputs located on the Television's
rear jack panel and front control panel.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
These sets are equipped with one VHF/UHF antenna terminal. The VHF/UHF terminal can be used for normal TV,

cable TV (CATV), a TV game, etc.

_. VHF (75 OHM) ANTENNA/CATV
When using a 75 Ohm coaxial cable system, disconnect

the VHF adaptor from the VHF 75 Ohm receptacle and
connect the outdoor antenna or CATV cable to a VHF

75 Ohm receptacle.

CONNECTING EXTERNAL VIDEO SOURCES

The exact arrangement you use to connect the Video Cassette Recorder, Video Disc Player and Video Camera to your
TV set is dependent on the model and features of each component. Check the Owner's Manual of each component

for the location of its video and audio inputs and outputs. The following connection diagrams are offered as sugges-
tions. However, you may need to modify them to accommodate your particular assortment of components and fea-
tures. 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 external source to the

INPUT terminal, then press the INPUT button as necessary to view the input source. (See page 28.)

CURSOR

I he following surround sound settings will reproduce the "live" sound you would hear in

concert halls, movie theaters, etc. when you set up your speaker system as shown in the
section on rear panel connections on pages 20, 21 and 24. The surround system is most

effective with movies played on a stereo VCR.

Surround sound allows the viewer to enjoy sound which provides a feeling of "Presence"
from stereo broadcasts and VCR tapes recorded with stereo sound. Also a mono input,

simulating a stereo, will increase the sound giving the listener simulated surround sound.

"."---_ _iiiiii;il Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon

lamps, etectricat drills, and other electrical appliances.

• GHOSTS:
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the

direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hillsor some other

objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve

reception. Ghosting may also be caused bydefects in the antenna system
such as unshielded leads or committing 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 isextremely 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.
