HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI COLOR TV

ANTEN_IA

Unless your TV is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor color TV 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 illuminationwill 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 HITACHI Color Television is its large viewing screen. To see this screen at its best, test var- ious locations in the room to find the best spot for viewing. The drawings give several suggestions.

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 ol the picture screen center. For best stereo separation, place the external speakers at least 4 feet from the

side of the television. 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

O' 3' 6'

The magnetic field of external speakers may cause the picture to distort if the speakers are

placed too close to the television. Move the speakers away from the TV until there is no picture distortion.

HOOKUP CABLES AND CONNECTOR

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 inputconnector types required by the various components.

Also make sure the cables are the correct length.

300-Ohm Twin Lead Connector

This ouIdoor antenna cable must be connected to an

antenna adapter (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).

Phono Connector Used on all standard video and audio cables which con-

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

ANTEN NA CONNECTIONS

These 'Jets are equipped with one VHF/UHF antenna terminal. The VHF/UHF terminal can be used for normal "IV, cable TV (CATV), a TV game, etc.

1. VHF(75-Ohm) antenna/CATV When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system,

disconnect the VHF adaptor from the VHF 75-Ohm re;eptacle and connect the outdoor antenna or CATVcable to a VHF 75-Ohm receptacle.

SURROUND

The 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 15, 16 and 19. 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 monc input, simulating a stereo, will increase the sound giving the listener simulated surround sound.

USEI-UL INFO

• 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.

• 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 .';ystem such as unshielded leads or connecting several sets to the same al_tenna

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 cf small dots. When the signal is extremely 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.
