HOW 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 color
TV 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 free flow of air to and from the perforated back 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 large viewing screen. To see this large screen at
its best, test various locations in the room to find the optimum spot for viewing. The drawings give several
HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS - 10 -
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 of the picture screen center. For best stereo separation, place the external speakers at
least four 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.
CAUTION: Magnetic fields, such as those of external speakers, may cause the picture
to distort if they are placed too close to the television. Move the magnetic field source away from the
television until there is no picture distortion.
HOOK-UP 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 purchased 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 componentsand the length of each cable.

and connect the outdoor antenna or CATV cable to a VHF 75-Ohm
receptacle.
2. VHF (300 Ohm) antenna/UHF antenna
When using a 300-Ohm twin lead from an outdoor antenna disconnect the (VHF or UHF) indoor antenna
leads from screws of the (VHF or UHF) adapter and connect outdoor (VHF or UHF) antenna leads to these
screws of a (VHF or UHF) adapter.
3. When both VHF and UHF antennas are connected
Attach an optional ANTENNA MIXER to the TV antenna terminal and connect the cables to the
ANTENNA MIXER.
Notes:
1. If an outdoor antenna/CATV is used, disconnect the indoor antenna. Ghosting and poor reception may
result if both the indoor and outdoor antennas/CATV are connected at the same time.
