REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY INSTALLATION

AND REPLACEMENT

1. Open the battery cover of the remote control by push- ing the notched part of the cover with your fingers.

Insert two new "AA" size batteries in the remote. When replacing old batteries, push them towards the springs and lift them out.

Match the batteries to the (+) and (-) marks in the battery compartment.

4. Replace the cover.

BOTTOM VIEW

CAUTIONS

1. If your television set is to remain unused for a long period of time, for instance, when you go on vacation, unplug the television from the wall outlet.

2. Do not subject the remote control to shocks such as dropping it on tile floor, etc. Precision parts may be damaged.

3. Do not allow the remote control to become wet and avoid placing it in _lreas of high humidity. Do not leave it on or near a heater. Excess heat or moisture may cause the unit to cerise operation.

4. If the batteries become exhausted, remote control operation may become erratic or stop altogether. Replace the old batteries with new "AA" (SUM-3) types.

NOTES:

1. The CHANNEL NO., VOLUME, and OFF TIMER indicators are not displayed simultaneously.

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

HOW TO SET UP YOUR NFW HITAC;HI COLOR

ANTENNA

Unless your TV is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor color TV anter na is recommended for best performance. However, if you are located in an exceptionally good signal area that is fre, from interference and multiple image ghosts, an indoor antenna may be sulficient.

LOCATION

Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly oq the picture screen. Also, be sure th_ 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 ten peratures can become excessively hot, for example, in direc_Lsunlight 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 va ious locations in the room to find the best spot for viewing. rhe 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 dayligl

hours, reflections from outside light may appear on the screen. If so, drapes or screens can be used to reduce tF 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 spe,_kers, the best audio performance will b obtained by placing the speakers equidistant from each side of the receiver cabinet and as close as possible to th height of the picture screen center. For best stereo separation, place the ex:ernal speakers; at least 4 feet from tt_ side of the television. Place the surround speakers to the sicle or behind the viewing area. Differences in room size and acoustical environments will require some experimentation with speaker i)lacement for best performance.

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 c'oaxial 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 type,'_ required by the various components.

Also make sure the cables are the correct length.

300-Ohm Twin Lead Connector This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an

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

"F" Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector For connecting FLFsignals (antenna or cable TV) to the antenna jack on the television.

<: :

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.

S-Video (Super Video) Connector

This connector i_used on camcorders, VCRs and laser-

disc players witl_ an S-Video feature in place of the standard video cable to produce a high quality picture.

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.

1. 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.

TIPS ON REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS

The S-Video connection is provided for high performance laserdisc players, VCRs etc., that have this feature. Use this connection in place of the standard video connection if your device has _zhisfeature.

If your device has only one audio output (mono sound), connect it to the left audio jack on the TV.

Refer to the operating guide of your other electronic equipment for additional information on connecting your hookup cables.

A single VCR can be used for VCR #1 and VCR #2, but note that a VCR cannot read its own video or line output (INPUT: 1 in the example on page 15). Refer to your VCR operating guide for more information on line input-output

AUDIO

I 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 mono input, simulating a stereo, will increase lhe sound giving 1helistener simulated surround sound.

• IGNITION NOISE: Black spots or horizonlal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift.

Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, and othe" 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 builclings, 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 C:oLiplers.

• SNOW: If your receiver is Iocaled in the fringe area of a television station where

the signal is weak:, your picture rna't be marred by the appearance of small dots. When the signal is extremel,.! 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, cau,'_es loss of contrast in the picture.
