ANTENNA

HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI COLOR TV

Unless your TV is con nected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor colorTV antenna

is recommended for the 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 cover of the set.

To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where temperatures 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

viewing screen. To see this screen at its best, test various locations in the room to find the best spot for viewing. The drawings give several suggestions.

The best picture is seen by sittingdirectly in frontof 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.

HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI COLOR TV

Before Installation (Geomagnetism Correction) 35TX20B Only

This TV has a super-large color picture tube. The effects of geomagnetism may cause an uneven (partially) colored

picture depending on the direction which the TV is facing. Adjust the TV as follows for best performance:

1.) Turn the power "OFF".

2.) Decide on the installation position and direction of the TV. Check the direction the TV is facing at this time.

3.) Set the DIRECTION and STRENGTH switches (on back ofthe TV) according to thedirection of the screen as shown in the table.

* If the Screen is facing a Northerly direction, Set to "N".

** If the screen is facin 9 a Southerly direction, Set to "S".

4.) After setting the switches, place the TV in the decided location.

5.) After relocating the TV, turn the power "ON" and check to make sure that the screen color (especially at the corners) is even. Depending on the installation location (especially where it is susceptible to geomagnetism, for example,

in reinforced concrete building), picture color may be uneven even though you have set the switches as described

above. In this case, set the DIRECTION and STRENGTH switches to get the optimum picture.

6.) In certain areas, if the screen points North or South, color unevenness may be reduced when the STRENGTH switch is set to STRONG rather than WEAK.

NOTE: If you move your TV, the DIRECTION and STRENGTH switches may need to be reset.

HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS

Most video/audio connections between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables that have phone connectors. For best performance, video cables should use 75-ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables can be

purchased from most stores that sell audio/video products. Below are illustrations and names of common connectors.

Before pu rchasing any cables, be sure of the output and input connector types 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 adaptor (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).

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

Phone Connector

Used on all standard video and audio cables which con- nect to inputs and outputs located on the Television's front

and rear jack panels.

--,-::D@

S-Video (Super Video) Connector This connector is used on camcorders, VCR's, and laser

disc players with 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.

ISURROUND J

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 18, 19 and 22. 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.

RECEPTION PROBLEM5

...... .v.v...v.vZ.?-:v.v.v

f_..,

• 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 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 lead or connecting 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 insome cases,

causes loss of contrast in the picture.
